I grew up in Riverside, California. Lived there 43 years. Been through plenty of earthquakes, bad and not so bad.Oh and the fires, the Santa Ana's and then the rain that makes the hills slide. Ah, being a Californian takes a certain amount of courage doesn't it!<br /><br />Susan Oakes<br />The Adventure of Old AliceSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14006502275494186809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-87406637968985908252014-01-19T06:17:07.357-08:002014-01-19T06:17:07.357-08:00Lovely to see all the hearts, Mona, and certainly ...Lovely to see all the hearts, Mona, and certainly none as beautiful as your own.

I live close to the San Madras quake zone. Kinda gives you that safe feeling doesn't it? NOT! One tremor shook me awake in bed once. You don't forget. I always tell people to keep your red berries and stuff out like that after Christmas. They are cheerful and bright and you can always add those hearts to them. Your house always looks gorgeous so you keep right on doing what you are doing!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13800999516616856785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-41043925481045349472014-01-18T08:23:28.351-08:002014-01-18T08:23:28.351-08:00The earth shakes here too, from time to time, and ...The earth shakes here too, from time to time, and we're reminded that we live in the Ring of Fire.

They scare the water right out of me but now, thanks to our sweet son and daughter in law, we have the nicest basement, aka spare bedroom, to escape to when the clouds start looking scary.<br />Love your Valentines....I don't decorate much for any holiday but Christmas. You've inspired me to go to Michaels....:))<br />xoxo bj https://www.blogger.com/profile/09327534885194207074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-63792402866662685592014-01-17T14:27:31.189-08:002014-01-17T14:27:31.189-08:00I sure hope you have a good weekend and things set...I sure hope you have a good weekend and things settle down there.

I'm still pooped with taking down all the Christmas decorations and I don't think I will be doing much until Easter.<br />All this crazy weather is a little scary.

When I lived in California it was in the Northern part of the state, a little gold mining town, Nevada City, never did fell an earthquake. It is hard to get away from Mother Nature each state has it own terrible things that happen. We have tornadoes here and it is scary. Love all your valentine decorations. Have a blessed day and stay safe.

Shuffle it round till you are satisfied. Oh Lord, look at me giving Mona advice, when I should be taking it from you. Remember "Love You More" small pillow - I shall have always a fond memory of the smile that came to my brother's face when I showed him that pillow. Whenever he said that to me, I simply held up the pillow and we would laugh. I thank you for that, for with my brother passing in the fall, the pillow sits on the shelf by his photo and gives me sweet memory of his smile and laughter. Thank you for that Mona.<br />Now, earthquakes we do not have - we live on rock - there is rock everywhere round the territory and earthquakes would really frighten me. I guess if you live round them, you get used to them, but I don't think I would have slept the rest of the night. Here I am experiencing temps of -32 zooming up to +70 overnight with rain and thunder - still would prefer this compared to earthquakes n wildfires.
