3 Years Now Since Konrad Charles Reichenberger Went Missing in California

Three years ago today Konrad Charles Reichenberger went missing. He was last seen on January 13, 2018 in Alturas, California in the California Pines Hill Area.

Konrad is 6'2" tall, weighed 200 lbs when he disappeared, and is now 47 years old. He has tattoos on his right arm, brown hair that he usually has worn very short to almost shaved off, and usually has facial hair. Some friends called him Kurt.

Please remember that Modoc County is a rural area. It is one of the poorer counties in California, and is filled with a lot of wilderness. In the area he disappeared from there has been illegal logging, as well as drug labs hidden in the forested areas. None of us are sure what has happened to Konrad other than he was last seen at his cabin home on January 13, 2018 and that he loved his dogs so much he would never have just left them without a solid reason or being forced to leave against his will. When he disappeared there was several feet of snow on the ground.

His family and friends really want to find him or at least find out what happened.

If you have any information on his disappearance please contact the Modoc County Sheriff's department at 530-233-4416.

If you can help spread the word he is still missing, that would be appreciated also.

A Quiet Christmas

Many people told me they were having a quiet Christmas and meant that as they were staying home. For several years now I've done all my Christmas Day's at home with my husband and dogs. With dogs, there is never a quiet Christmas. The morning always starts off with the dogs tearing into their own stockings and goes on from there.

This year Boomer got fascinated with one of my gifts that gurgles, coos, and moves. He wasn't sure what to make of it, though he has finally accepted Baby Yoda (Grogu).

Happy Almost New Year!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

May you be enjoying your day with good company and good eats no matter how big or smaller your Thanksgiving is.

Happy Halloween 2020

Happy Halloween 2020

Halloween night is here,
marking the end of October,
Blue Blood Moon over head.

Pumpkins were carved,
glowing owls hidden inside,
waited to great,
the three trick-or-treaters
that dared to spread their wings
and journey out on this clear night.

Happy Halloween!

I Woke Up On Mars

I woke up on Mars this morning. Some how I slept through the entire journey. Upon opening my eyes I thought it 6:30 am as the dim light filtering into the bedroom was subdued. Once up and having opened the blinds, I saw the sky was an intense red-orange as I had never seen before. The clock revealed it was actually 9:30 a.m.

Now it is 11:50 a.m. and the red-orange sky is even darker than before. I've had to turn on synthetic lights just so I can see in the house.

Photos have not been color changed. These were taken without a flash.

My Beautiful Empress Tree

Last year my Empress Tree was huge and in full bloom. The tree looked amazing and many people stopped to take photos of it (and I can't seem to find a single photo right now). Unfortunately, the branches were brittle and breaking off in huge chunks. In addition it was in the power lines. So, we let the electric company cut it down.

The result was we used the trunk to create our Halloween Pumpkin Creature last October.

Now that summer has come around again, a full year since the tree was turned into a trunk, it has transformed itself.

I can only wonder what it will look like next Spring.
