I don’t know where January went and February is almost over!  Happy to hear you were ok from the tornado!  Hope you’re doing well, weather hasn’t been too bad and you’re staying safe and healthy.  Did you get healed up from your eye surgery?  Did you get your sewing room reorganized?  Hope so.  

A lot has been happening here.  We had a flood in downtown San Diego and in other parts of the county on January 22nd.  Where I work, Metropolitan Transit System (San Diego Trolley) the first floor and repair facilities were flooded and we had retaining walls by the tracks on our east county line collapse.  So far costs are $28 million dollars but there is machinery that was destroyed because they are in pits in two places that will have to be replaced.  The walls are all just about done having drywall cut out, dried out, replaced, painted and last will be the flooring. Fortunately I work upstairs so no damage was done.  Can’t wait till it’s all done.    

This month started off with a bang-literally- as Damon was in a minor fender bender couple weeks ago and now we have to pay an extra $1000 a year for three years on our car insurance. Thankfully we only had to pay the deductible of $500 for the repairs.  Sigh…. He’s been there done this before in 2016.  

I’m doing fair, battling with my low back but not letting it get the best of me!  Going to make some rice bags (heat in the microwave to be like a heating pad) for the next craft fair in April.  Plus going to make more jewelry. Will be fun.  

Time to head to bed and get this sent bef it times out.

Love you and will talk more later!
