We took Kelly’s parents along this time. We couldn’t have hoped for better weather in mid-January. No Internet for almost four days. What a wonderful trip! Loved it!

We’re having a quiet Christmas this year. Yay! We just shared Christmas kisses with Jeri and Andrew. We are lucky to be able to count them among our very best friends.

I was not looking forward to driving 5 hours to Shaver Lake to be held prisoner in a cabin in the snow, but that’s not how it turned out at all. The holiday I dread the most turned out to be more than tolerable this year. At times, it was actually fun.

The food and family stuff was fun and the cabin turned out to be a nice roomy house, but the icing on the cake came in the form of a foot of powdery snow. Beautiful!!

More fabulous photos here.

No Fireworks Here

Posted on July 5, 2010 by thedude

According to weather expert Chris, The San Francisco Bay Area was the coldest spot in the US this Fourth of July, with the possible exception of a few locations in Alaska. Along with temperatures in the 50′s came the famous fog, which obliterated any hope of seeing any fireworks. Oh well… We did get to meet Ben’s lovely sister and two children on their first ever visit to the States. Welcome!

As always, a great time. Fabulous food and friends!

I managed to get only a few in-focus shots in the pitch darkness at Tom and Julie’s. :)
