Sun., Dec 22, 2013 - Happy Birthday Eric

Every year on this day. we pull out the red Christmas stocking that the hospital in Stockton gave us to bring Eric home from the hospital in 28 years ago

This year, Eric is celebrating his birthday in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico with Claudia and her family - checking out the plants

 

 

Thurs., Dec. 18, 2013 - Another Curt and Sarah sighting

Curt and Sarah came in to town - they had been visiting with friends in Lake Tahoe and elsewhere since early December, and are preparing to leave for their trip to Mexico. 

We met up with them at Katrinas for lunch - very nice to see them again.

Tues., Dec. 17, 2013 - Overnight with Marian

Tonight I went to the Chapter XC Christmas get together at Deb's house.  We had a good turnout, good soups and appetizers, and wrapped a bunch of presents for our adopted family.

Afterward, I went with Marian to her house for a good conversation and a sleepover.

Mon., Dec 16, 2013 - Moved to Lake Minden

Today we moved in to Lake Minden Resort.  We got a spot closest to the lake and enjoyed the peace and quiet - but it is still COLD. 

Dec. 9 - 13, 2013 COLD SNAP

It stayed freezing cold all week.  Mike took aggressive measures to make sure our pipes did not freeze at night.  The snow that fell on Dec. 1st is still here, but it is beautiful in along the American River in Ponderosa Resort

Sun., Dec 8, 2013 - 49 er fans

Today we visited with Dad, went to Sacramento farmer's market, then took Pappa Murphy's pizza over to Steve and Terri's house to watch the 49rer game on TV.  Steve and Mike are compatible sports watching fanes, and Terri and I started a new knitting project - fingerless hand warmer gloves.
