Good Morning Lu and Cali Friends,
Lu, enjoy your run and your work with the kids, I know they will so appreciate the day.
Well yesterday was a blast with the Nor Cal group. We had so much fun and laughter and food and stealing of presents! I think we had enough food to feed a small army! We all decided to make this an annual event cuz we had so much fun.
Today brings party #2, my neighbor Terri and I host the 4th annual cookie and ornament exchange. I need to get baking my cookies this morning, I will make Ron's favorite, Cowboy Cookies, his 2nd favorite Hershey Kiss Cookies and a new recipe Honey nut topped shortbread. Plus, Terri and I do an appetizer buffet (thankfully this is already done).
Well I gotta scoot so I can get the yard art pics downloaded that I promised you. See post later!
Hugs to all and enjoy the day...

Good Sunday morning LuLu and California,
Lu I know you are already going but have a good 5K and I hope you listed to your body while running/walking. If something started to hurt or the breathing started to get labored, I hope beyond hope that you listened and slowed down. Diane and I are still watching you and you'll be in Loma Linda this afternoon. I can cancel my plans and come kick your butt.
So the Christmas Party last night was nice. They had to use a new caterer as we think the old one went out of business. Well this new one was pretty bad. Some of the things were ok, like the cold shrimp. You can't ruin that. But everything else, was pretty yucky. I feel bad that they spent the money and it just wasn't good. But they did have a chocolate fountain and that made a huge hit. Everybody loved that. One person who will remain annonymous because he comes home with me...MIKE....decided to put chocolate on everything. He came up with some combinations that were making everyone go ewwwwwwwwwwww. But he had fun So one party down, 3 more to go. Oy!!! LOL
Today I believe will bring a ride to the OC to visit with my son. Mike is going to a bike show so I might as well do something that I will like. I can try to get in some shopping as well. Although I know everything I am getting. Just waiting to see if some of the things go on sale.
OK, off to start my day. Hope everyone has a great Sunday and if it is raining by you, shich it is supposed to do here, and you are out and about, please drive carefully.

Good Morning Lu and Cali Crew,
It is freezing up here, in Hesperia. They have been saying there is a chance of snow or snow flurries. I don't know if its cold enough to stick, it sure gets cold enough at night! B-U-RRRR!!
I have to travel down and back up the hill before the rain starts. I have to run some errands. So church first, then travel, then I can come home and snuggle up in my blankie again.
Good luck on your 5k, Lu. I hope you listen to Steph and Diane! I totally commend you for what you are doing for Loma Linda. The kids are heros in my book.
Barb, the yard art pictures were awesome. I love the pictures of your house. I am glad that everybody had a great time yesterday! Enjoy your cookie and ornament exchange.
Steph, be careful on the roads. Hopefully we will both be back in our warm houses before it starts raining!
Diane, thank you so much on the update on Becky. I, too, was worried on her getting to her mom's. Is she being a good girl and not doing a thing?
I hope everybody has a great Sunday. Try to stay dry!
Huge hugs all around!
Michelle

Good Morning Lu and the Cali Gang. I made it home from a wonderful time in San Francisco. We had a short Board of Trustee meeting and then our Christmas party. I had Steak and Lobster for dinner (first time ever for lobster) and while it was good, I believe it was way too rich for my tummy. We danced and danced and danced. Then walking back to the Sheraton along the Wharf was beautiful.
Breakfast the next morning packing up and heading out. I tried to make the Nor Cal event but without directions, the ship is lost! Next year!
Today brings us a whole bunch of jammy time. Then I'll get the house cleaned and a Christmas Tree. However, I have to move the puppies to the back room into their new quartrers. They're getting way too big for the box they're in. All they're eyes are open, they're starting to walk and not just scoot around on their bellies.
So.............off to shower. Then start cleaning my house and get stuff done. Vitamins in, Water started and while I'm cleaning I'll be dancing!!!!!

I've had a neato weekend so far..Friday I was an alternate delegate for the annual Los Angeles Episcopal Convention...you will have seen we made the news with the election of 2 new suffragen bishops, both women. Yesterday I put up my lame little tree, it sits atop my piano because my living room is still full of overflow STUFF. I have decided I am baby Hoarder...everyday I've been tackling this so I do NOT end up on the TV show..lol
My bathroom is comming along nicely..floor tile is in, bathrub was in last week, new wall floated..(man, that room is now a fortress incase of an earth quake)..its been 3/4 painted, medicine cabinet inplace (recessed tri-mirror) new light fixtures, on Monday the wall tile goes in, then the sink and toidy and it'll be useable!!...Here's hoping it will be done by the end of the week!!..Yeah!!!
Today is church, more decluttering and hopefully cookie press baking day..I LOVE SPRITZ!!
Happy day all...

I am sorry Jillie..your note just appeared in my email today!!
Ok..for cookie guns..make sure your dough is pushed into the barrel good and firm..no air pockets...its a bit of a job, but becomes easier with practice, I use a table knife to push the dough in and squish the air pockets out. Then..make sure when you click the handle that your press bottom is FIRMLY on the pan and you click and lift...click and lift...don't give it anytime to decide its gonna stick..lol Lift the gun straight up. Also..be sure your pan is clean, dry and cold. The dough will not stick if not cleaned between each baking and cold and dry. I work with 4 pans..that way one is always baking, cooling, drying and one is waiting to go in. I made over 200 the other day...ALL GONE!! Yummmmm I figure 5 Spritz make 1 regular cookie..lol
Let me know if this helped!!

Morning Lu and Cali gang
Good Luck on your 5k Lu...hope you don't overdo but accomplish your goal in record time ^_^
Yesterday was a blast..thank you Hugely to Ron and Barb for opening their home to us crazy people...we had so much laughter and commraderie. And people, watch out for Ron! While I benefited from his 'analytical' thinking (Thank you Ron!), he is one smart crafty person!! I got my snuggly blanket and Barb got her Sax clock...all credit goes to Ron!
Barb has inspired me to 'decorate' for the holiday...to Lon's shargrin LOL We have already rearranged the front room funiture...I haven't told him yet HE has to find the decorations hidden away in the garage ;-) Have a couple of tree ornaments to carve for our carving party next Tuesday, finish up the wash and then just clean and decorate the kitchen and front room. Next weekend is a carving seminar with my favorite instructor so I won't be home to do anything constructive..gotta get things done today.
Well, lunch is down so need to get back to cleaning the rooms. I hope you all enjoy your day..rain or shine, wet or dry...cold or hot...it's all good ;-)
