BEE MAN ARRIVED 😁; Coalinga-CA

We woke up to heavy fog laying thick 😱 throughout our immediate area … and Holland's cousin giving him a jingle 20 minutes before locating us 🤝 and whisking Holland off 🚘 for a ride-along to Bruce's bee hives, where they will be hunkered down until they are set up in almond orchards a few weeks ahead:

Thick Fog Advisory for our immediate area.

Bruce Harris; I'm so glad this hookup happened 👍

Bruce found us 📌 & they were off like the reindeer fleet 😉

Went thru the house like a whirling dervish to the backbeat of Christmas tunes 🎄🎸🎶, while making ready for cousin Bruce's welcome when the guys return.

When Holland & Bruce returned, they continued another 2 hour visit before cousin headed back to Colorado - I like Bruce; later, we drove into Coalinga to exchange my small change winnings for a couple more scratch cards (it's small change entertainment 🤞 that gives me an excitement boost, & Holland humorous indulgence 😘) - and then Holland took me for a little drive, to show me where Bruce had laid his bee boxes …

Small win fun = $5 + 1 free ticket 😉

Bruce's bees boxes 🍯🐝 will be placed in almond orchards in a few weeks.

Back home again, we ate a light supper 🥣🥖 & checked in 💗 on friends and family members in flood-prone 💧 regions of WA State; so far, everyone says they are safe 🙏

We are very thankful to be here 🎯 - instead of there; and very grateful for the road blocks, reroutes, and detours 🚧 Elohim ☝️ placed before us ➡️, to keep us safe, here for the time being ❤️

Then, I watched a vintage comedy 💻🎧 … and started work on another little sleeping gown:

After the movie, it's upstairs for early-night/down-time for me …

To bed early & will read 📖 until the book falls out of my hands 🛌😴

Holland is planning on going 🚘 into the city of Hanford-CA, tomorrow morning: he's going for 4x maintenance … I'm going for the downtown holiday sparkle ⭐️🎄✨ and glitz 😁

THINGS ARE DIFFERENT FOR A WOMAN

Things are different for a woman.

Men can - and more than they should; go places alone that a woman has to carefully plan before attempting.

While there are friendly people in the world … the world in general, is not a friendly place: especially for a woman alone.

YES! I AM "a woman with balls" - BUT, I am also a woman who understands that my strength is no match for a man when his testosterone is flowing at max level.

I CAN & DO go places alone, but I prefer having my man with me when a city trip is necessary: a lot of rats dwell in cities, and they do not always troll around on 4 legs.
