Big Bear - Snow - Daisy's - Mexican Train...and More

We went up to Big Bear for the weekend and it snowed??? WOW!!! It was a first time for up there over the holiday. But it melted off by the afternoon...

We had all these baby daisy's growing between the new pathway rocks we laid last year...

The doggies loved it up there. 

Have you ever played Mexican Train Dominos? Well I went yesterday with my Red Hat's group and we played at another group's event and had lunch. What fun this game is...

What's in a Barcode? Photos of Interest

Here's a way to find out if what you are buying is from 

the USA or another country?

 

Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or  China ?

If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 

• 690, 691 or 692, the product is Made in China
• 471 it is Made in Taiwan . 

Some products do not show consumers the "MADE IN" wording, so you don't know from which country it is made. 

However, you may now refer to the barcode - remember if the first 3 digits are:

• 690-692 ... then it is MADE IN  CHINA
•  00 - 09 ...  USA  &  CANADA
•  30 - 37   FRANCE
•  40 - 44  GERMANY
•  471 ...  Taiwan
•  49 ... JAPAN
•  50 ...  UK

Yesterday it rained and blew....wow the winds were bad!!!

 

Today the sun is shining but it is still cold for S CA.....this weather is sure weird this year. Our mountains got over a foot of snow and all the skiers are in heaven..

 

All the schools are closed today up there because of the snow fall they got over the weekend. Guess t was a good idea that Hubby and I decided to stay home. We almost made a trip up there for the weekend. Whoa....

Lots of Snow Fell in our Mountains

My son went up to our cabin and he got snowed in for 3 days....5' of snow fell...everytime he shoveled it up it came down and covered it more.. It is hard to tell but where my g-son is in our yard is 5' on one end of the yard and it goes all the way across to the other end. You cannot even see the fence anymore..WOW and his truck is a huge 4-wheeler and it got buried...we get rain down the mountain and then it snows up there...our cabin is 7600' high 

Up in the Snow at the Cabin

We went up to the cabin this weekend. It was cold...burrr in the low 30s and the water pipe burst and had to be fixed. There was not a lot of snow, but old Foxy had her sweater on to keep her warm....

See the smow out back and in the front drive way. And then the other mountain photos is how it looks to drive up there...beautiful..only 2 hours from us...
