Christmas with the grandkids will be late this year and we are enjoying the solitude.

Just 3 of our "kids" and one grandaughter spending the night tonight. Since she is just 1 year old there won't be any rushing for Santa gifts, in fact she typically sleeps til 9am! Tomorrow is hanging out at our house and most if not all of the kids and grandkids come over. I cheat and buy a "home made" lasagne from a local restaurant and pop it in the oven at a time that seems reasonable. No muss to fuss Enjoy the day however you spend it and whomever you spend it with XO

On New Year's Day, the day after we arrived in San Diego with the UHaul, the whole family went to Disneyland. It was a blast!! How is everyone's year starting off?

Looking forward to a fun evening with my daughter's family. We have given up the romance thing and now have a Mexican dinner with the grandkids. We will play games and eat too much real chocolate.

I recently acquired a new hatchling box turtle, two baby rats and two new goldfish. (We always have plenty of cats.)
