A special gift. Snow and little recap of the USS Midway

Well, here it  is Thursday one more time! Getting closer to Christmas very quickly.  

We've been home other than one day of running to Carson City so we could visit Home Depot so Ken could pick up the parts he needs to fix the water leak under the house.  While we were in town, grocery shopping needed to be done and we picked up a Chromebook I found online for under $100.00.  Why? I'm thinking Ken will like it better than his ASUS.  I love my Apple, so I don't think i'll be spending much time on it. haha. 

I did some baking yesterday and then started wrapping presents.  Sure doesn't look like as much as when the grandkids were little, even though I probably spend more money.  Speaking of that, thanks again to my hubby for quitting smoking 31 years ago and putting into an account every month. It gets released at Thanksgiving and it certainly makes Christmas shopping a lot easier on the budget! 

Yesterday the mail came, this came in the mail! Thanks to Eric, Chris, Seth and Mason.  Early Birthday present! I love it!  

We've had a couple of days of snow..I love it, but know it's not what our Canadian friends like to see. We don't get it very often and it doesn't stick around too long, so it 's just perfect for us. 

Ken took this pic of the living room into the kitchen..it's really not that big. I thought it looked nice though..


Beer he had in San Diego, found it at Total Wine!




We've got fog and snow is melting slowly...

I thought I'd go through some of the pics from our trip to San Diego, just as memories. 

Beautiful isn't it..

They don't look too impressive..I thought they might have
changed Jacob's mind..but they didn't.


Yesterday was my sister Linda's 61st Birthday! Hard to believe the baby is 61! 

Time to wrap some more gifts..Have a great afternoon..
