Apparently 2011 is not a year for me to be on top of things. I have left these photos for nearly TWO WEEKS! But they are finally here for you to get a tiny idea of what our vacation in California was like. Sadly I did not get a photo of the delicious clam chowder in a bread bowl which I got to enjoy TWICE! Mmmmm. It's good not puking anymore.
The last two pictures are from the day after we got home. Derek got to test out his new mad bomber hat and Luke was his supervisor while he blew the driveway clear. We had lots of blowing snow the week after we got home, which was icky. We stayed inside as much as possible - which was the opposite of our time in California. Even though it rained all but four (?) days while we were there (Shafter got a year's worth of rain in the two weeks we were there!), we spent as much time as possible outside splashing in puddles, tromping through rotten apples, falling and swallowing half the ocean, and feeding Grammy and Grandpa's doves.

I loved the photos! Glad that you had a wonderful time, and then welcomed back with tons of snow. Maybe there'll be an early spring?
ReplyDeletei can see how you wouldn't want to come home to Wint-ler....lol. Winter and Winkler.....together....but prolly just the winter part....
ReplyDeletesigh, yes i can totally relate to your listing. I hope you can feel accomplished in whatever and howmuchever you get done.
I think of you all the time. i want to call you but i never know when is a good time so i'll just start calling at random times and maybe i'll get you on a break.
what color do you want the basement? apparently warm greys are the newest trend for basements, but that might be depressing...so what about warm grey with a sassy red accent wall(s)
