Happy Holidays!!
How was everyone's Holiday? I hope your Thanksgiving was a blast!
We took a break from the office, but not from work thanks to modern technology, to visit our family in Central California. It was really good to see my Grandmother in Modesto, even though she was wearing a purple cast on her broken arm. But she was still as feisty and stubborn as ever! Here's a hand-painted picture of Grandma when she was in the Navy...
Then we went to Hal's (brother of the Famous Patty Bell) up in Sonora. The Mountains were beautiful and all the trees had gorgeous hues of red, orange, and yellow. The mornings were chilly but a nice hot cup of coffee was just the pick-me-up we needed.
LOL
We had a lovely Thanksgiving with our family, we ate dinner at the Moose Lodge and everything was delicious! It was a pot-luck type dinner and we brought salad and stuffing, but left with some of the extra ham.....it was fall-off-the-bone wonderful!!
On Black Friday we headed back down to the Bay Area. We tried to do a little shopping but there wasn't anything worth buying, all the best deals were already gone....and it was only 8am! We wanted to go to the mall, but couldn't get a spot. Oh well!
We continued on to San Lorenzo, it rained for a little bit but had stopped by the time we arrived at my Brothers home. There was an amazing rainbow, a full arch! The rainbow also had a friend!....
See it?
My Brother really keeps us in the loop when it comes to movies, this trip we all sat on the couch and watched "UP". Of course my nephew kept saying 'this is a good part', watch this!', etc... LOL. Here's my nephew reading to the Famous Patty Bell....
Isn't that sweet?
We had a great time, and even saw some dinosaurs!!!!!
