Good cloudy 36º morning.
HEY! One month til Christmas!
Yesterday stayed pretty cool. Warmed to 45º. At 10am there was snow on my
mountain!
Never did come down here.
Travel over the Siskiyou Summit south on I-5 is not somewhere I'd want to
be today.....
Here is a cute story of an 8 year old standing up for a stranger..
I finally got out and went to Grants Pass (Grass Pants) yesterday. Raining
here, but that was OK, and not raining in GP. Stopped to drop some stuff at
Brian's office. Then to The Kitchen Company to pick up a 'treat' Jennifer made
for me. Then shopping at Safeway. As Nancy says, I have a parking lot angel
watching over me. I generally get a spot in front wherever I go. Yesterday was
no exception. With all the people shopping.... parking spot right in front of
the doors! Pretty day... heading back home:
For those of you who don't...
(In the very beginning of this Eagles video, they were awesome!, there is a
gal taking a toke off a joint!) I want to go to Winslow and take my picture on
the corner!

November 25th
National Parfait Day
Berry Parfait:
Lamon:
Smores:
A parfait consists of layers of ice cream, whipped cream, and any
combination of syrups and fruits. Yes, it's basically a fancy word for a
sundae. And, it's usually served in a fancy glass.
Celebrate this day by eating Parfaits. While chocolate is by far the
favorite, use your imagination to create a wide range of single and mixed
flavors.
Savor your favorite flavor of parfait, as you enjoy National Parfait Day.
