Land's End South Carolina





These were taken at Land's End outside Beaufort South Carolina. The beach is absolutely beautiful. The water was too cold for swimming, but we went in up to our knees.

Global warming? Shoveling at Mom and Dad's and our house.

Trying to save the mailman a little work!


Dad thought he'd save the mailman some work by going to the corner mailbox. (Christmas cards can be heavy) I guess he missed the curb or hit a little ice. Anyway...I think from now on, he should let the mailman do the work!

Getting ready for Christmas, Ohio style


This is my favorite time of year! The house is decorated and I have most of the wrapping done. Almost all the cards are sent and packages have been mailed to California. Now all there is to do is WAIT. We have some family coming from Pine Mountain Club and I wanted to be sure to have everything prepared for them. ( I've always thought anticipation is nearly as much fun as the actual event.)
Now it's fun going out during the day to watch other people shop. I can enjoy running around in the snow (it IS actually snowing today) going to some of my favorite places; Borders, Bed Bath and Beyond, Starbucks, and even Marshalls. I found Marshalls by accident last year when I was walking by as a door opened and I got swept in with a crowd. To my delight, I was able to do some last minute shopping. What a fun place! I love shopping while it's snowing. All the years in California, it just seemed wrong to be Christmas shopping in shorts and flip-flops!

Happy Thanksgiving !





After a nice drive out through the country, we arrived at my sister's home in Waynesburg. My mom and Dad were already there. Our niece, Jessie was there also. The cornstalks are on an Amish farm. (my sister in NOT Amish) We had a wonderful day. We did all the things we love to do on Thanksgiving, like over eat and watch WAY too much football! The girls even managed a game of Hand and Foot...one of our favorite card games. We had a great day, but we missed our California family.
