End of Year
So we end another year. This is the time when I'm finishing up the entries for the last year in my datebook, and I'm really ready to start the new one but it's not time yet. And it's odd in that 2016 is looking to be a year for pink being the color of the year, which is odd. But my dream-journal is using pink, and so is the datebook. 2015 was green ( Read more... ) -
There's something about rocks...
Ancient rocks. Laid down eons ago, layer on layer, heated, compressed, lifted up and tilted to crazy angles, eroding, falling, turning back into sand. I've had it weave its spell a few times now, out riding the motorcycle with my hubby. The things these rocks have seen, over their life. They remember, on a scale that humans have a hard time ( Read more... ) -
Cruise, and a general update
Haven't looked at any of the pictures yet, but we just got back from a two-week cruise stopping at four Hawai'ian islands. It was fantastic. My mother-in-law and her husband joined us, too. Their first cruise, her second visit to Hawai'i. I especially liked it that it started and ended in L.A. No flying ( Read more... ) -
Visiting home
Just got back from a visit to my home and my family in Minnesota. My brother got married, so I made the trip. The wedding was lovely, with a harpist doing walk-in music and a song during the ceremony. The officiant started things off by intoning "Mawwiage! It's what bwings us togethew" and enough people got the joke that it was hilarious. I got ( Read more... ) -
Life!
So our dog has allergies. Second round of antibiotics to try and clear up an infection he's got on his lip, which may or may not be related. Tried feeding him his pills via turkey hot-dog this morning, but he spits 'em out. Cheese works better, but isn't so good for allergies (or so they say). He doesn't sneeze or get extra-goopy, but he fidgets ( Read more... ) -

Raaaaaaaaaaiiin!!!
We finally got a tiny little bit of rain; husband figures probably a quarter inch or so. Just enough to mess up trail riding for the weekend, but not enough to do anything about our horrid drought. Was listening to someone on the radio, and they asked if this would help our drought at all, and his response was basically that that was wishful ( Read more... ) -
Vegas!
Christmas kind of sucked, plans didn't go as planned and we ended up with nothing but walking the dog to the coffee shop. I was disappointed. But New Year's was better- we went to Vegas! Husband's mother lives in Henderson, a short drive from the Strip, and his sister would be in town as well with her youngest kid (he's 15). So lots of time with ( Read more... ) -
San Francisco!
So SF was awesome. My friend was going to spend the weekend there for her birthday, and I went with her ( Read more... ) -
San Francisco!
So my friend and I are flying up to SF today to celebrate her birthday. She was going, whether anyone came with her or not, but it sounds like fun, so I booked a ticket to go with her. She's so excited to show me a city she knows really well, and asked me what I wanted to see. Well, I've been to the Castro one time, for a couple of non-party-time ( Read more... )
