A wrist a fire and a car

Broken wrist with full arm cast.  Check

Broken suspension on car.  Check

Evacuation from a fire that threated my home.  Check.

Information?  Priceless.  Standing on top of the roof hosing off the house right before being evacuated due to a forest fire is one way to spend a Sunday evening.

it certainly put me in the

“be prepared” frame of mind.  Had we not asked the city to cut down the eucalyptus grove across from our home last year – we wouldn’t have a home this year.  Thinking ahead is not something I always do.

I’m lucky. I have a home still, only broke my wrist and not my hip and the car if fixed.  A friend sent me the website below and I signed up.  Ya get notifications if there is a disaster in the areas you choose.  I put my sister, my sitter and my house in the database.

Norco- who knew

A horse town called Norco.  A few things:

Pikes Park – quite nice for little tikes.  Victoria Garden – an amazing mall with a fountain for little guys to run through.  Pole Position – a super fast fun racing car place.

My two-year old sat down to drive a video race car.  for fun I put in a dollar.  The whole place stood in awe as he was actually able to stay in the lines and get 5 extended times.  The little driving prodigy.

(Clearly, he doesn’t get it from me.)

Kabuki Theatre

If you haven’t been yet to the “sundance” or Kabuki theatre in San Francisco – it is time to go.  Stop by the bar and order a yummy Manhattan-up–with lemon and a cherry .. bring it with you to a comfortable seat with a nice table to place it on… make sure you take with you six or seven girlfriends and dress up to match your favorite character in a movie.

good fun.
