We Beat The Storm

It's probably a good thing we left Columbia when we did as we could see the forecasted storm beginning to come in from the west. We left at 9 AM and arrived home at 4 PM. All the way down we could see the clouds on the mountains, dumping more snow. We hit a little bit of rain just as we approached San Bernardino, but that was it. The forecast is for the rain to arrive here this morning. After not having any rain at all since we arrived in this area, we are suppose to get rain all week.

The excitement is building for our new jobs but we have some things to take care of before we can leave. The target date for leaving here is January 25, depending on how things go. The Western Horizons Park will know today, as will the flower shop in Palm Springs. We just don't know yet what, if any, additional time would be needed to close out these commitments. We anticipate working our normal schedule this week while the park finds replacements.

The history and diversity of the area is unbelievable. As an example, the movie makers recognized the area as a valuable and convenient source of diverse locations. Some of the movies and TV shows filmed in the area are: High Noon (the house where Gary Cooper & Grace Kelly were married), Little House on the Prairie, Bonanza, Highway to Heaven, The Red Pony, The Great Race, The Big Valley, Rawhide, Unforgiven, and Back to the Future III. There is so much to see and do that we are looking forward to the (hopefully) extended time we will spend there.

That's about it for now...
