Well, that's the piece that came off the car. Good thing I had brought back my kitchen mat to lay down on so I could get under the car to unscrew it! No triple A for me! No sir! I am self sufficent, adaptable woman! My parents raised me well. It's good to be me and have my car still running well, plastic parts or not!
Home again! Look what's blooming!!!
And, yes, a very confused daffodil, blooming in December. Ah well. Thoughts of spring.... It is good to be me and be out of the cold!
Meowsie tolerates the decorations, the holiday cheer, and tidings of joy.
Our first paper whites are starting to bloom! Very exciting!
The happy bride and groom.
The flower girls, David's neices.

Jeff graduated from San Diego State University, I never attended, but you gotta root for your home teams, right? We recruited Chad to be a State fan too! He got into the school spirit just fine.
From our seats you can just barely see the tip of my hospital behind the crane. We actually ended getting beat, but it was fun sitting in the rain anyhow.
Meowzee said he'd help me study. He lied! He's so ferocious! Check out the fangs through the ribbon! So helpful.
Temporary Home Sweet Home! My parents took the tent on the left, my brother and I shared the one on the right. The last time we shared a tent I was in 4th grade, if memory serves me right. We took care not to get pine needles, sand and gravel in the tent. Every morning we "made our beds" and put all our Cabbage Patch dolls in their proper places, along with any other stuffies that made it onto the adventure. Going to bed, though, after a day at the beach with not nearly enough sunscreen on, laying on the plastic, blow up beds, well, it felt good to lay down. But the trick was to not turn over, or move at all. If I did, it meant the feeling of my skin being ripped from my body as burn stuck to plastic. Shudder. Of course, that didn't stop me from going out again the next day!
Normally, I am really not a fan of rain. Or cold for that matter. Jeff build a much appreciated fire, and well equipped with rain gear with hoodies, breakfast in the cold rain didn't seem like such a bad idea! There was a few telling frozen rain drops on top of the tent. Boy did that tea feel and taste great!
Yeah, it was cold, and yeah, it was morning, but how come the boys always looks sooo much better?
This snowman was stayin' alive at the hospital! It snowed on the last day of September, much to my dismay. In response, the nurses built a snowman, this is him the next morning, after we had removed the stethascope, and someone, or something had eaten his actual carrot nose.
It's actually been a week now since I went hiking with my brother. As you can see, fall is officially here! It was nice and warm Saturday, so warm I peeled off my jacket. By the end of the day though, it snowed!
For Sunday football, I made a decent lasagna, garlic bread and salad for the boys. Spinich/ Artichoke dip for an appetizer and brownies for dessert. I actually got a few takers for seconds, so it couldn't have been all that bad. Made for a great lunch the next 2 days too!
I got a new hair cut! Like mother like daughter, I guess. The top is the after picture, the bottom one is before. She straightened my hair out, thinned it (since I guess it is too thick) and took a whole lot of length off.
Meowzee was not a happy camper with this morning's attention on the only important part of the paper, the comics. Laughter is the best medicine. So he put himself in the middle of it all.
