Hello Everyone,
Finally I get here to post & read up on all the posts that I've missed. At least I got here to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. :-)
The above picture is on my drive to the coast on Thanksgiving Day. This vineyard, all vineyards, is at the end of its season which is why it is a little bare. The day was gorgeous, pretty blue sky, temp around 65 even at the coast! I thought since it was "turkey day" when most people have family gatherings or family & friends that the coast would be quiet. I was so wrong!! People were everywhere I went!! The weather was so gorgeous I guess it drew people to enjoy the weather or there are a lot of people like myself that tend to be some what non-traditional. I had a marvelous day, talked to a couple of people that were interesting & one of the state park rangers that was on duty. She was very nice. I just thanked her for all they do. You all know I am a big nature lover which means I really appreciate what the park employees do for those beautiful places set aside for all of us to enjoy. The waves were absolutely huge & booming. I wanted to bring the sound home. It was just an outstanding day in every way. When I got home I had my fresh crab, a green salad & a dinner roll. My first piece of pumpkin pie was for breakfast the next morning with lots of whipped cream. Yummmy!!
Trudy, it sounds like you had a good day with your friends Sharon & Lee. What a wonderful way to spend the holiday. Eating with friends is always a plus. Good luck on your day in court. Please keep us posted. Surely this will all be over someday. The health care issue & insurance is another whole story.
Amanda, I laughed about the 2 year old that wasn't cooperative for the pictures. Hopefully he is in them anyway. Sounds like you had a good day. At this point in my life I have no desire to cook the big turkey dinner. Because I've done some cooking & baking the last week or so, it seems like there are always dirty dishes. Since we don't have dishwashers here it seems like I always need to do more dishes!! Since I don't cook a turkey dinner I also have none of those yummy leftovers for sandwiches or other meals. I hope you enjoyed the long weekend. I always loved having those 4 days off. Pure pleasure!
Sandi, what a brave woman you are to shop on Black Friday. I just simply refuse to do it. There is nothing I need or want that bad. But to each his own. There will be other bargains other days. As long as you are happy with what you did buy that is the only thing that counts. What kind of computer did you get? Laptop or desk top? I'm going to seriously consider buying sometime after the first of the year. Not till after I get together with my computer tech friend though. We talked about it when he had coffee & pastries with us last week. It sounds like you are doing very well with Readers & Ritas. Fantastic that you already have some tickets sold for next year. I think it would be fun to come sometime but not sure that is real likely. The trip would probably cost more than I should spend!
We are still having beautiful weather at least for a couple of more days. We do have a storm coming in next week. Not sure if it is going to be a big one. Things are already greening up around here from the rain we have had this season. You can see that in the picture above. I took tons of pictures on Thanksgiving Day & some more when I was out on a walk this afternoon. It is so pretty I just can't resist. I was really trying to work on composition today. On Thanksgiving I was just trying to catch some of the awesome wave action. I'll share!!
Last week we had our meeting & the start of the Secret Santa Project. Today I delivered my first batch of red hearts to one of the businesses. The other business was not ready for theirs. I should take a picture of one so you know what I am babbling about. There are some special functions coming up with this project that I might volunteer my services. It depends on when they are. I have another short pet sitting job coming up I think on Sunday, December 9. Good thing because I have been spending money like I have it! None of it was Christmas shopping either!!
Well I have probably babbled on long enough. Enjoy what is left of the weekend. I'm going to watch a movie. I also hope to finish the book I feel like I have been reading forever. More on the book once I finish.
Here is a picture that might give you some idea of what the waves were like at the coast. Not sure this one shows how big they were, but there will be one later on that will!!
Take care, happy reading,
Donna M
