Thursday afternoon, 11/29/2012...

 

Hi Everyone,

Here is another picture from Thanksgiving Day.  This is still at Goat Rock Beach but another part & facing south instead of north!  I love the action of the wave in this picture.

Trudy, high fives & big hugs that things are finally looking up in your life.  Maybe add a "happy dance" in there too!!  It sounds like your friend Sharon has some improvement.  I hope that it helps her feel better.  Some people seem to do better with chemo than others.  Most people do get very sick from it.  I certainly wish her the best.  I can understand why you might be talkative after the day you had.  Somehow after all that you just need to let it out!!

Margie, your living room looks so very nice.  Great job on the decorating.  I love that there is more than one tree.  Makes me miss having a tree, but on for a little while!  Since we are having all this nasty weather I had planned to stay in & get down my decorations.  Well, that didn't happen!  My neighnbor called me yesterday needing to go to the store.  I did take her but I wasn't very gracious about it.  She is a sweet lady with health problems but there are times that I think she forgets I have a life & am not housebound or inactive like she is.  I don't mind helping her but the last minute request is sometimes hard to take.  Whew!  Sorry to vent!  Thanks all for letting me.

Margie, you sound like the next couple of weeks are going to be busy for you.  What will you make for the dessert portion of you progressive dinner.  Sounds like fun.  I've done those but it was a long time ago when I was still married & some of us just decided it would be a fun thing.  Everyone in the group, couples, were good cooks which made it fun to plan & try to impress all those others that were good cooks!!  I do love Christmas for all the festivities & decorations but at times I wish it was spread out more through the year!

Hi Donna, come back when you can to catch us up on you.  We could have an ornament exchange but I vote for having it next year.  I can put a reminder on my calendar for next year & we can make plans.  Is everyone interested?  I also vote for either an ornament or maybe a candle, we can each choose which, since I don't put a tree up anymore!!

You all know from my mentioning it that I volunteer on a Secret Santa Project that is all of Sonoma county.  I picked out two of the red heart to fulfill that wish.  I have all purchased for one of them except for a pen.  You would think I had money to spend!!  The other one I did some looking but didn't purchase.  There is still lots of time.

Trudy mentioned that her birthday is next week.  Let's all try to remember to wish her a Happy Birthday.  She really deserves it this year!  The date is:  December 3rd.

We are getting soaked by rainstorms here.  I had to go to Santa Rosa today to pick up something for one of my Secret Santa sponsors then deliver it in Cloverdale. By the time I had done all this I had put about 65 miles on the car!  In nasty weather.  There is no let up until next week & it really needed to be done as soon as possible.  Maybe tomorrow I will really get to stay home & do some decorating & much needed cleaning.  I just realized I need to do laundry tomorrow!!  Such is life.  Sometimes being a responsible adult is not fun!!!  Since the weather is so nasty I decided to come home on the back roads as there is little traffic.  Well, I didn't consider that the back roads are more likely to have standing water on them, but it wasn't to bad.  The vineyards already have standing water in them due to all the rain we are getting.  Right now it is the second storm that is bringing us all the rain with a 3rd coming right in behind it.  There is suppose to be some of a break between 2 & 3.  I'll turn on the news in a minute to start hearing all the storm reports.  Oh, it is after 5 my time.  I am going to turn on the TV!  These are warm storms courtsey of the Pineapple Express!!

Here is a picture to say so long until next time.  I'm just not sure what this is on the beach in the rocks but it has obviously been there a long time.



Have a good evening, happy reading,
Donna M
