Old Glory and an Old Soldier
Today was Day Three of our new tree decorating tradition, though I'm not sure we can call it a tradition yet since this is the first year we've decorated our tree this way. Today, K and I put up some of our favorite decorations. If you look closel
The Big Tree Is Up
Z and I retrieved the big Christmas tree from the garage just after lunch and set it up in the living room. The top of the tree didn't quite make it into the picture but our tree topper will be featured in the other photos. Father Christmas Tree Topper

Shopping Excursion yesterday.
On top of buying my new #CostaDelMar shirt off eBay yesterday, I did do a little bit of running around and shopping. First stop was Wal-Mart where I picked up a photo order, a strap for my sunglasses. I think I would be murdered if I lost my Costa s
Jacob Wagner
I've spent the better part of the last hour mulling around Ancestry,com yet again diving into family tree stuff. Right now I am focusing on my maternal grandfather's family. His father died in 2003, and while I knew him better than any of the other great g
What a week!
After the previous weekend, we ended up not doing a whole heck of a lot. Hubby didn't feel good most of the week, so I ended up driving myself to work while he stayed home and rested. Needless to say, work on the old place went on hold, at leas ton our par

My Hashtag Awards Acceptance Speech
Was torn between what to title this article. The alternate title was: “My Shock, Awe and Surprise Moment”. So you know how you publish a blog post but that's not enough because it's no good if nobody sees or read it. Right? Hit the pub
Guess This Photo Puzzle 5 Answer
To the left you see the piece of Puzzle #5 I left with you to solve. A couple of people did guess it was the hanging fruit of a #sweetgum #tree. This is one of the few trees on the central coast that provides vivid red leaves in autumn. A lot of them are p
House Back to Normal
Well the holiday season is over. I got down the #tree and the lights hanging outside. Feels kind of sad that all the #festive #colors and lights has to be taken down. Well I packed them up properly hoping to use them again this #Christmas #season and maybe
The Ultimate Christmas Controversy - Real Tree or Fake Tree?
I grew up with real Christmas trees. I knew that there were fake ones out there, and, for a few years, my mom even had one of them in a box in the back of the attic. I asked her a few times why we never put that one up, and the answer was always t
Real Tree or Fake Tree?
I usually try to have my Christmas tree all up and decorated by now, but I have been procrastinating this year. Since my son and grandchildren are living with me, he (my son) has asked if we could put up a real tree. I haven’t had a real tree
Our Christmas Decorations
I just thought I'd share our Christmas decorations with y'all. We got them done today. At least I don't think we'll add anything more this year. You never know with me though. These are the first set of photos I've taken and got ready to put online. I jus
A Tree Mystery to Solve
In my last post, I mentioned talking to my gardener about some changes in my back yard at the Paso Robles house. We walked around the back yard and I showed him a tree that had sprouted up next to a rose bush. What ever it is, it needs to come out. This is
Living with the Goldenrain Tree
I have a goldenrain tree growing in my Paso Robles Yard. The truth is, I have more than one, and probably a few I don't even know about. If you look closely in the photo here, which you can enlarge by opening it in a new tab, you will see a small b
