Hello 2010

A NEW YEAR BEGINS

 

We hope all of you are enjoying your weather.  For many, if not most, of you we have noted that the winter has been harsh thus far, probably worse than normal.  We have had an unusual amount of rain this winter.  Even the locals have remarked about that.  But mostly we have had sunny days and temperatures in the mid to upper 20s (75-85).  We are not complaining and trying not to gloat.

 

Although we could not be with many of our loved ones, we had a festive holiday season.  Rita, one of Rebecca's sisters as many of you may recall, made her annual visit.  The ladies had a wonderful time and I also greatly appreciate Rita's visit.  We went out for a sumptuous meal on Christmas Eve.  Joannes had mentioned stopping by for drinks later in the evening.  Little did we realize that there would be turkey, trimmings, and another feast.  Everyone had a merry time.  Unfortunately Rita had to return to cold, snow covered Boise on Christmas Day to have time to be with her family.  So she was not here to enjoy the usual fireworks around the bay on New Year's.  

 

Mrs. T prepared this brief essay last night:

 

 

Today I went Boogie Boarding.  The waves were perfect.  High enough to give a nice ride, but not too high to be scary.  I was in great form catching every one.  One of my Mexican friends said I was like one of their nature spirits, the sand witch who lives in the ocean and rides the waves.  I did get sand in my swimsuit and seaweed in my hair (it looked a bit like lettuce).   When I was exhausted I went up one the beach to sun and dry off.  Unfortunately I forgot my sun screen and turned as red as a tomato.  People did gather round to stare but I did not blame them.   It's not every day you see a baking lettuce and tomato sand witch!

 

 

 

(I had it confirmed by our neighbors from Montreal that they saw the BLT.)

We are very excited that Nick is coming this Thursday to stay for a week.  And it will be Festival Week.

 

We invite you to visit us to enjoy more balmy conditions.
