Fun in the Snow

We had James, Eli and Mio visit for a day, during which we had lots of fun in the snow

'Tis the season to be jolly

'Tis the season to be jolly and the ladies of my book club, along with our spouses, did just that at a party hosted by Laurie in her beautifully decorated new home.Pomegranate martinis, delicious potluck food, and a "consummable" gift exchange added to the merriment.

Escondido

What a great week we spent in the sunshine of Escondido with our friends George and Valerie and Christine and Dennis. We golfed some lovely courses, hiked the boulder covered hills and wetlands, enjoyed the museum, frescoes and historic buildings of Temecula, through which the Butterfield stage once ran, and the lovely old mission of San Luis Rey.
