Ofa Saturday.  They say it will be 50 today. Himself is at the shop, I will be putting up Christmas, well start , no not start, continue,lol.
Tree is up, little tree on my craft desk that faces out the window to the back yard is up.  I will use my little tray table, it's. Only a month.  I am filling my me time with painting my resin gazing ball stands. Gives them longer life and, they don't blend in with the siding.
Other then that, its been quiet.  Thanksgiving was nice.  Not a whole lot to report on.
I am bothered by the news.  These riots are off the charts. Senseless to me.  The Rice ruling, I mean really??????.  Ugh drives a little woman nuts I tell ya.
But, right now its time to string lights,yaaay!
Catch ya on the flip side, :biggrin:

Took M into have her eyes check, after 5 yeas he said she could use new glasses.  Not bad for her age.  He said she could go two more year if she likes.  I said no way she read and sews way to much, I told him money was not a problem.  So she will get two sets,  everyday and reading glasses.  If she not reading she is sewing.   :lol:

It call for no snow today.   :lol:  So we made a day of it, and had dinner out.  When we came out form eating it was snowing.  So off for home.   :lol:   So like most places in Washington we had to go up over the hill.  Town is 642' ABSL and the hill is 1543' ABSL.  There was about 1" on the hill is all and only about ¼" at home so no big deal.  The cold front is heading East so the East is going to get hit again.

Thanksgiving Day AM was sunny with some high clouds, with temps in the 50s and 60s here. A great AM for a 10K Turkey Trot on San Jose's Coyote Creek Trail, and then some delicious turkey and fixings in the PM with family.

Lazy day Friday. Rainstorm early Saturday AM: it was pouring pretty good while I was driving to Fremont (~1/2 hour away) for a half marathon. It tapered off as I got close to Fremont, and by the time I got to the venue it had stopped. The race was in Quarry Lakes park and along Alameda Creek Trail, mostly overcast, with temps in the 50s.

Today, it's been raining here for the past couple of hours, the high today is supposed to be 61. We definitely need the rain; thankfully it looks like another storm is coming in Tuesday.

There's a reason I don't complain of Silicon Valley weather. Stay safe and warm, folks in places that have a real winter and real weather!

Glad she can do the stuff she loves! Keeping her mind exercised is a good thing, too! We'll help you in that department.

Ofa Sunday, the last day of whacko shopping.  I got the tree up, the deer head has it's hat. Dinning room is done,front window is done. Now I am simmering a pot of ham and beans and baking an apple pie.  When the pie is done, I will do some corn bread. 
Everyone who does outside lights have been out sprucing things up.  I dont do that, nope, not alot of fun taking things down in the frozen. So I will enjoy my neighbors stuff.  One of my neighbors does up her back yard, it looks really nice.
Oh well, I am spent lol.

I wish I could run to a decent degree, but I walked all but a few dozen yards in both. Yesterday was my 8th completed half this year, but I'd never done a 10K and a half in such quick succession. "Can I do this?" was an open question. I was thoroughly done in the last couple of miles. I've only been doing halfs for a little over 2 years, so I'm sort of finding my limits and trying to expand them at the same time.

Well I put light up out side, all along the top of the fence line.  I put them 3 side of the house as no one live on back side or drives on back side this time a year.   M like see the light all winter long.  You can see them from over 5 miles away on the highway.  So I take the down just before spring.   It keeps a :smile: on her face and that is always nice.  The tree will go up in a week or two and down right after new years as the house is way small then we had.

Thats pretty neat.  I like when we come home from the river and I can see Christmas lights far away on the farms.   My backyard neighbor does it up to, lights,deers and some other stuff I cant see thru the bushes. Its nice.

Rain splatter on the Windows, its muggy grey outside.  The diva princess pup is sleeping on the couch, me, I think it's time to well I don't really know,,,
Quick recap from December til now.  Lets see, it's not been fun that's for sure.  I been executor of 2 estates, one is done the other is gonna be fugly.
Super cells that spawned the June tornados are the camper, insurance hoops are just so exciting. Now we are looking, well cuz we can. 
On the other hand, cabin didnt flood, my gal pals horse had a baby a month ago this week. Her name is Olai, a palamino she is.  So cute she is. Three weeks n 4 days ago I got to help the vet give her plasma.  I'll never have that experience again,,,but I am imprinted on her now.  To cool.
Other then that, all is ok.
So how's everyone here?  Hope you all are doing just fine.
