Christmas Morning

Some Christmas highlights

It has been a great Xmas. The 6 of us are going to meet up with my brothers down south for a dinner out. LE and Jon will head on home then fly to Seattle tomorrow. We went to the movies and saw Eregon, The dragon movie, in Santa Barbara came home and open presents while the ham cooked. Then we watched the DVD we gave each other. The Sat. Night Live early years was my favorite so far....and we ate more goodies.

I saw the Weinermobile Fri.

This is where the meat meets the bun....

Syd's World

My new computer has this fun program to make comic strips....cool huh?

I have a new computer

Christmas came early at my house! I can not believe it. I have been playing since we got it out of the box. It is a huge screen Mac. .....did I say I can't believe it? I can't. I still have some things to hook up...like my printer and scanner. But I have already made a comic strip. It has the photo booth that I have been hearing about....really fun...



Here is what else we have been up to. We went to Pasadena and saw some really fun Xmas lights and had a great meal at a restaurant that had fake snow on the roof. I don't remember the name but I want to go back. Best salad and cheese bread...It rained so I did not get good pics...we were in a group of about 20 new beetles. Kinda scary coming home. We had some big downpours....I did get to stop at the Folk Tree and The Collection on the way. This is the window from The Collection. Saw Shari's cool stuff.





I got my tree up and the heart decorated for the Friendship House in Santa Barbara.


I planned to go see LE today but she has bursitus and is laying low. I hope she has some improvement today.
I have to get back to my computer play....Thank you Earl.....

I have been tagged!

By Tracie Huskamp....a woman in good standing in the W.O.E. (women of Earl) She wants 6 weird thing I do....

1 I have a theme Halloween every year with a hot dog/sausage roast in the front yard.

2 I try to decorate a Xmas tree using things from around my house and current garage sales rather than get into my Xmas stash...which is huge.

3 On my wedding anniversary or my girls' anniversaries. I decorate the mantle with various odd couples among the cake toppers....like Rosie the maid from the Jetson's with the tinman from Wizard of Oz.....

4 I went to modeling school in San Francisco with Suzanne Somers....in the 60's.

5 I love to play computer adventure games like Myst...I am playing Rhem 2 now. It is a good thing that there are not too many of these games for a Mac...they suck time like a black hole...

6 I have a mini TV collection....among other collections way to numerous to mention...


Now what Tracie? Do I tag 6 more?
