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.

The Zoo Wednesday

Wednesday was a really good day for the Zoo. It was overcast and cool, and there were hardly any people there.

I’ll save the rest for next time.

I’m still not feeling well. In fact, I feel pretty bad today. Need more rest!

That’s my yoga teacher, Gloria. She turned 70 this year!!! I think that just about says it all… PS, that’s not easy.

Here’s Alo with the twins after school Friday.

Spookier than ever

The pumpkins are looking scarier than ever. Rigor mortis has set in & I believe the worms will be working their way in and out of orifices shorty.

The Cordners atop of Cowles Mountain last weekend. What a great day and view! It looks like Morgan is working his way around the sticker on that apple …

Yesterday when I went to pick Maya up for her gymnastics class, here’s how I found Sparty.

And what’s wrong with this picture?

IMG_0544.JPG
For some strange reason Maya was having trouble walking and kept saying “I need help. I need help.” But she made it all the way from the car to class without accepting that help she was requesting.

No, this isn’t the sunset.

IMG_0546.JPG
It’s the moonset this morning. I will never tire of the view from our house.

Lastly, Alo and friends this morning practicing his “nice” skills. He needs a lot of practice with that skill …

IMG_0547.JPG
Notice his left hand. I think someone glued his finger to his belly button. The finger must’ve gotten stuck in there because he never removed all morning.
