Soup

Had fun with family & soup! The little ones sure enjoyed themselves. I suppose I should have/could have taken some photos, but I didn’t. I am glad to have the task of making baklava done though!

I’m not so sure about the OB Holiday Tree this year, but I do like the fact that this orchid likes the cold weather. It really is thriving. I know I posted a photo of it a couple weeks ago, but it’s got more blooms now than ever. We have a couple more orchids with buds waiting to bloom too.

Back to work tomorrow, but only for 2 days, then almost 2 weeks off.

I took these photos when he was here last time – on my birthday, actually …

Traveling OBYoga Water Bottle

The OBYoga Water Bottle (OBYWB) made its way to Cambodia with Lan Lan Chen (a yoga student and neighbor up the alley who stumbled across my business card while out walking in the neighborhood over a year ago).

Thanksgiving Photos

First of all, the apple pie Monette made was a MASTERPIECE. It was so beautiful, I hated to see it get cut into.

The walnut pie was really good too. So chocolaty!!

I got some good pictures of the kids.

Annie wanted in on the fun too.

The yoga studio is always fun. This was the first time the boys asked if they could do yoga. In the past, they always asked to do karate.

JR was the only one who was able to do the upside down version I demonstrated, but he said it was hard and kept asking me to hurry and take the picture so he could come down.

I had to bribe them with pie to get them to stand still and not make faces for a “brothers” picture.

Well, it worked on most of them.

Happy Thanksgiving

Ron called me from Ohio this morning. It’s snowing there, so later he FaceTimed me so I could watch Maya play in the snow. She was all bundled up and having a good time with her Ohio cousins.

Here’s Maya and Sparty last week playing in their front yard when I picked Maya up for gymnastics.

In case you wondered, Maya dressed herself … I love the above picture. I asked her to smile and she gave me the phonyist (sp?) smile she could give.

November is probably my favorite month of the year – great weather, clear skies and good sunsets. Last week I went for a walk along the cliffs and took a couple photos to capture the “November” moment.

How lucky this new orchid bloom is to have the ocean view.

Even San Francisco has some good November sunsets. Robb sent this picture Tuesday of the view on his way home from work.

Robb’s on his way down now. Evidently he left in the wee hours of the morning and should arrive around noon.
