COQUILLE DIARY JANUARY 2001

COQUILLE DIARY JANUARY 2001:

Spent a quite new years eve.  Lots of folks around here like to shoot off what sounds like small artillery and what ever left over fireworks they have.

My neighbor brought over some apples from her brother which he had sent fro Corvallis, called Braeberns, Nummy.

I watched the Rose Parade on HGTV, no commercials quite pretty, it is just as easy to nod off during this version as the network coverage.  Meh.

I ordered Turbo-Tax 2000 and will assemble the various tax documents.  We already have the Oregon income tax forms in the mail.  They have rather interesting residency requirements, apparently you only have to THINK of Oregon as your permanent home and they want their cut. (Smile)

1-10: Happy sixth anniversary.  Yep we got hitched in the Barrow Court house.  We celebrated early at the Pancake Mill.  Tim had veggie omelet, I had potato pancakes.  Delish

Book Report "Eye of the Storm"  By Private Sneden.   A compilation of diaries kept by this man during the Civil War.  He was a map maker, painted many scene and was prisoner of war in Andersonville for seven months.  His job was to keep track of the dead.  He was part of a ten thousand man prisoner exchange.  He spent the post war years refining his diaries.  He died in an Old Soldiers Home without family at age 82.

Got invited to Carla and Mitch's wedding  on 2-24-01.  I went to Myrtle Wood place and snagged their last two champagne glasses made with Myrtle Wood stems.  Very pretty.

1-16: Dental appointment, Had one cavity filled left upper back molar pulled.  Short roots for which I can thank genetics.  In and out in less than 20 minutes.  Thanky!!

Charlie and Leslie are thinking of selling the Condo in Sonoma while the market is high.  They are coming to Coquille to look at houses.  There are always a few for sale around here, not a lot of new construction however.

Our alley neighbors had two trucks of gravel delivered and spread on the alley, our share was 60 bucks and all we had to do was give money.  Yay, my favorite kind of maintenance.

The kids came and walked a couple houses and are interested in one on Dean street.  We will see how the sale of the condo goes.

Looks like January is off to a good start.

G'night folks.
