Merry Christmas everyone! We're spending a quiet day at home. Just the three of us and two dogs. And, just in case you're wondering...DAM has been humming all morning. She even broke out with a few lyrics! Instant insanity!

We just had...
The cutest family of Christmas Carolers on our porch singing Jingle Bells in this cold weather! They were so cute. Mom, Dad, and three little ones. They introduced themselves as the neighbors down the street that come trick or treating here every year and they wanted to repay us for being nice to their kiddos. And, they brought us treats! How sweet is that! Did I think to grab the camera and take a picture? NOOOOOOOO. I really need to get with it.

Help!!!
I'm in need of some help, and I know all of you out there can help me out with this one...
I need some Princess quotes for a little princess book. Just throw them out there, I need to get this project done. Joy, I know you know some. And Suzette, you're the queen of quotes, I'm expecting a lot from you! (No pressure though). Let's see, who else... Tina, how about a cowgirl princess quote? That goes for you too Carlene! Tanya, would something from "Gone With The Wind" work? Sheri, you have a little princess of your own, what's your favorite quote? And Judy, how about some help with this one, you're little grand daughter is quite the princess. Once I get this Little Princess project completed I'll put pictures up. Thanks guys!

I have been a vewwwwwy baddddd bwogger.
You have to say that in your very best Tweety voice...
I promise to remedy that this week. I have tons and tons of really good excuses, but none that you would want to hear about. Honest!
My baby turned 20 years old today! Happy birthday Catie. I don't see how this is possible since I am only 29, but hey, it works.
Dear Aunt Myrna (DAM) is still here. Haven't seen the mouse lately. Maverick is still kicking and me, I've been working, working, working. I got to take a class with the wonderful Mike P. today. It was such a nice break. And what a fun group of ladies were there. I'll post pictures tomorrow. Mike is an amazing teacher. Taking a class with him is a "must do". Then you add characters to the class like Lisa S, Gretchen, Becky, and Linda all sitting at one end of the table and you have a creative party! So inspiring it made me come home and blog!

We're home!
Quick trip, no pictures, lot's of driving. We started out Friday morning at Sky Harbor. Boarded the plane and sat...and sat...full flight, no 2 seats to be found together. And we sat. After about 30 minutes the pilot informed us that the plane was not going anywhere due to a computer chip problem. Better to find that out on the ground than in the air. Get off the plane and sit and wait for another plane. Just where do they stash these extra planes? Only took them about an hour and we were back on the plane again. Bumpy flight to Ontario. Santa Ana winds and fires everywhere. Long drive from Ontario to Apple Valley. Rush hour traffic. Good thing Jason knows short cuts! Got to spend a few hours playing with the grandkids and we were off to the motel. Up early and back to the house to pick up Jason to take him to LAX. There were alot more fires burning by then. Freeway were closed. It's a good thing we left early! Dropped Jason off for his 15 hour flight to Thailand. Now we're off to Hollywood to see The Peddlers oldest son Jimmy. He has a place in Los Felizes that is just gorgeous. Up in the hills where the old time movie stars used to live. From there, out to lunch at a real Hollywood outdoor cafe. Great people watching opportunity there. So diverse! From there Jim gave us a great tour of Hollywood, Beverly Hills, all of the theaters, The Chinese Theater. It was fun, and he's quite the tour guide.
From there we were off to Yucca Valley to see Catie and Adam. About a two hour drive unless you count the time we spent parked on the freeway because of an accident. Made it to Yucca and had dinner with them. The Peddler loved the restaurant but the rest of us didn't. Japanese food is definitely not my thing. Especially Sushi, which The Peddler loved. Yuk! Breakfast the next morning with Catie and Adam at Route 62 Diner. Yumm! I saw someone I had known since Junior High. Boy, did he look old! Can I really be this old? Finished breakfast, said Good-bye (which I hate) and 6 hours back to AZ. I told you it was a quick trip and lot's of driving!
DAM did good. She apparently didn't see the mouse. Maybe he moved out on his own! Maverick is still kicking. I guess you could say all is good!

Taking a short break...
The Peddler and I are headed to California to see his boys and grandkids tomorrow. Leaving on a jet plane and driving home. His youngest son is going to work for the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi so we will be bringing his truck home with us. He's actually going to see all three of his boys this time. That doesn't happen too often. Hope everyone has a great weekend. The weather is beautiful here!
