High Temps This Week!


Beach weather.... for those of us living on the Central Coast the weather is mostly mild. My sister calls and asks me the temperatures and I say, "About 65 degrees". That's the average around here. It sometimes gets a bit warmer and we have had it below 32 degrees but rarely. 65 is probably the average temperature. But this week, Holy Cow! We had the heat for a couple of days and thought we were going to die. Now for all of you that live in hot places, you will probably scoff and say, "You call THAT high!?" But for us, IT'S HIGH! We spend summers here in sweatshirts and layering clothes is a regular practice. We don't have air conditioners and a simple fan just doesn't do the trick! Monday's temperature was over 100 degrees! I did a screen capture at 4 PM and that was AFTER the peak heat of the day.

Tuesday was a bit cooler but still in the 90's.

Then finally today, the fog appeared and our temperatures were back to "normal".

See those average temperatures listed for the rest of the week. Like I said..."65 degrees is our average." I hope wherever you are located. You are enjoying a comfortable day.

Coffee T. Rice House

Isn't this a beautiful Victorian Style home? You can't see all of it because of the shrubbery and trailer park at the base of the house. It made me curious about the history of the house so I looked it up. Here is what I found. This is the historical information I found written  HERE . Coffee T. Rice House Oceano, California History and Description: Coffee T. Rice was a wealthy financier, with enterprises throughout the State, who migrated from Ohio to San Francisco. When a railroad was surveyed through this area he envisioned an industrial center here and acquired various properties close to the right of way. He introduced celery production to the area. Rice started construction on his home in 1885 using the same craftsmen that were working on the Pitkin House. The house originally had 20 rooms and was painted yellow. Surrounded by well-kept grounds with various trees and a sundial, the house was approached by an oval driveway and a stone-pillared entryway. The grounds also in...

Norwegian Pancakes (Norska Pannekaken)

Every culture has its pancake and this is the Norwegian version, a very light, crepe-like pancake that goes with just about anything.

Grave's Disease

The Picture - Half Empty or Half Full? Many of you who know me know I've been fighting a battle with Graves' Disease for about a year and a half. It was diagnosed in February of 2007. I was so very sick back then I actually thought I was going to die! One of the main symptoms was a rapid heartbeat and mine was probably 110 beats a minute. I was put on Methimazole, about 40 mg. per day to knock down the worst of the symptoms. That has gradually been reduced until now my dose is 5 mg. a day. Then I got some really bad news this week, my numbers are beginning to rise again. My Dr. called on Wednesday and told me he wanted to do the radioactive iodine treatment. I just don't feel ready for that at all. He gave me until the 7th of November, my next appointment, to "see the numbers change". He says to take the medicine every other day and in two weeks go off it all together. Yeah, the numbers will change and it won't be for the better I'm sure. So, I went on the...
