Funny, silly, crazy, and everything in between!


Do you want to cook on Friday? Says the email, of course was my response.. I was thinking, maybe I will make a pie.. I didn't have a chance too, they came laden with ingredients, for dinner and Christmas presents. See the chocolate pretzels? That's not mine, ha ha.. We were treated to ratoutuille (sp) and mulled merlot.  Absolutely delightful, the main part is the conversation, which led T sprawled on the floor with tea splashed all over.  (Sorry girl, I had to share that:).

But that's not all, we took a friend to a hotel where she is billeted for a week, she was not thrilled with the prospect -- it is something that she had to do.  That dampened our spirits -- we consoled each other with more mulled drinks..

Does that count for contemplative period during Advent?

My Oakland



Despite what's going on around some neighborhoods, I still love Oakland, crime rate is on the rise as in other cities.  A blending of old and new, signs of affluence and poverty, multicultural, just lovely..
