021910 Taqueria Las Comadres--a different one!

My favorite taqueria in Tracy (and there are a LOT of them!) is Taqueria Las Comadres. One day when I was in Montclair (Oakland Hills), I found another one! They are not owned by the same family, and the food is pretty good at this one too!

021710 Finally!!!

Donny FINALLY took this mailbox post out that has needed to be removed from our front lawn for a VERY long time! When we had our scruffy dog Buffy, she would sometimes escape and chase Joe the mailman. She was definitely all bark and no bite, but the mailman was apparently scared enough of her that he filed a formal complaint! He was no longer required to deliver the mail to the box by our front door so we had to put up a mailbox on a post by the sidewalk. My brother Steve was into woodworking at the time, so he drew up the designs for all the cow parts so I could make a cow mailbox that was popular way back then. But today, the udder is all that's left! I painted the mailbox to look like a black and white Holstein and we attached it to the platform pre-fitted with the udder. Unfortunately I never finished painting or attaching the other cow parts. When I would tell people how to get to our house, I would tell them to look for the half-a-cow-mailbox! One morning we came out and some kids or someone had come by in the middle of the night and knocked the poor half-a-cow-mailbox off the post. It looked like they'd hit it with a baseball bat! Since Joe the mailman had long since retired we got a new mailbox and attached it to the house near the front door...but the post remained by the sidewalk...WAY too long! Thanks Donny for finally digging it out!

021610 Tracy Post Office

I go here alot! When Donny was at Boot Camp and then again at Ranger School, I was here pretty much every day, and I even wrote quite a few letters at the counter in the lobby! When Donny was in Iraq I came here frequently to send him Flat Rate boxes, but now I only usually go to mail packages to the grandkids, or to check the P.O. Box that Steve and I have here together.

021510 Scripture Challenge!

On February 8th our ward's Relief Society started a challenge to read the Book of Mormon in 90 days. I was NOT going to participate and was being really rebellious about it! I'd had a hard enough time getting through it when President Hinckley challenged us to read it in a year, and right after that when Bishop Maxfield challenged us to read it in 6 months. But for some reason I felt like I needed to do this, and so far so good. I've been trying to read in the morning before getting online or doing anything else, and even though it's only been a week, I've been keeping up!
