I have had a couple of social weekends, bookending a lazy week.
Ahh, Thanksgiving Break. : )
Sunday:
 |
What's interesting is that now all these gorgeous trees are
dropping leaves like leaves are going out of style. |
 |
| Sunday Morning Meeting (ducks vs. geese). |
 |
Still very much in that park-at-the-back-of-the-lot mentality
with Sylvie. |
Monday:
 |
| Hot tea and pajamas on a Monday morning...I love break! |
 |
| More lovely fall color. |
 |
| Looking through the huge boulders. |
 |
Sadly, touching them did not transport me back in time to a
very hot Scottish dude. |
Tuesday:
 |
| On Tuesday, we watched Poldark. |
 |
| Until the power went out. |
Wednesday:
 |
I don't buy CDs anymore, I was just at Dimple to sell some
movies. |
 |
| Sigh. At Target. |
 |
| So OF COURSE I bought the jammies. |
 |
I've put myself in charge of outdoor decorations for the last
few years. |
 |
This year I extended to the main part of the front yard, which
required an extension cord and duct tape. |
 |
| And large ornaments on the tree. |
 |
| Not too shabby, for a one-woman crew. |
 |
Twelve years of driving Mazdas and it's only recently occurred
to me that the logo is an M. |
 |
| I started making my Christmas cards on Wednesday. |
Thursday:
 |
I was hoping to catch a split-second glimpse of Julia as she
performed in Herald Square. Then she walked right in front
of a CBS camera as they cut to commercial and I started
yelling, "THERE SHE IS!! OH MY GOD!!! A CLOSE-UP!!!"
(Also, I blatantly stole this picture from someone else.) |
 |
| Julia's the one with silver poms. |
 |
| Mom and Dad. : ) |
 |
| Dad and daughter selfie. |
 |
| Cute pic, despite my awkward half-squat to be level with them. |
 |
Finally got a shot of me with Sylvie. I am so damned proud of
this car. |
 |
| Thanksgiving Dinner for Bella and Duchess. |
 |
I finished making my cards (36 of 'em!) on Thursday. Had them
filled out, addressed, stamped and to the Post Office by this
morning! |
 |
| Thankful Lady is Thankful...in her R2D2 nightie. |
Friday:
 |
| Old (and a few new) friends. Let's do this!! |
 |
New ornaments this year--Olaf (bought at Disneyland),
a California Bear (bought in Santa Rosa in June), and Snoopy
(bought by Mom and Dad). |
 |
| I love my Tiffany candy cane. |
 |
| Too many Snoopy ornaments? NOT possible! |
 |
| One from last year. Poor Charlie Brown! |
 |
| One from a few years ago. |
 |
| Haha, yes, an ornament from my gym. |
 |
It looks like Charles Schulz threw up in our kitchen, but it
makes me happy. |
 |
Jingle Swimmy, Rudy Swimmy, and Santa Swimmy have
come out for the holidays. |
 |
| My race pics arrived so I finally got my frame made up. |
 |
| Candle in the window. |
Saturday:
 |
| The cutest little birdie. |
 |
| Apparently the geese like golf. |
 |
Met Summer in Dixon at our favorite little tea place, Linde
Lane Tea Rooms. Always good to catch up. Add tea, and you've
got greatness. |
 |
| One of their trees. |
 |
| It's such a cute place. |
 |
| This is a purse. |
 |
A block away is a great little antique store. We poked in for a
moment. |
 |
I found two early-70s ornaments I'd never seen before and HAD
to have them. I love the Flying Ace and I wasn't turning down
that Woodstock find, either!! |
