Busy Saturday that I'm missing as I sit at home on "bed rest" for a few days...sciatia yet again.

My granddaughter, Jacey is in a pageant today, that I would have attended.

Good Luck, Jacey

and thanks to Jacey's Mom, Jennifer (my daughter), who makes it all happen.

If I were walking around Midtown today,

I'd see lots of these...

 

Today is very cold, I'm confined and I'd rather think about spring,

birds hatching, flowers blooming, warmth in the air.

 This nest was in the eaves of friend Nancy's home in Port Orchard, WA.

 Then, it's 'dream' on to Paris in May...

 Of course, there would be freshly made scones with my caffe, each morning

Later in the day, I'd indulge in a little bit of this..

 I'd buy a few baubles  to match my champagne and apartment

Spend a few days in Provence

 A few more days on the Amalfi Coast

 

Break bread with George

 

Back home to Sacramento to plan my next fantasy trip!

Deflated

Christmas is over.
Chubby creatures have have been deflated.  

At Jennifer's on January 2. 

 She was taking me for an overnight sleep study.

  Site of the sleep study at California Sleep Solutions.

I hope they come up with some...solutions.

Not sure they can give me any help about sleeping, as they didn't catch me sleeping very much.

We can verify that it's difficult for me to get to sleep.  

New Year's Day

For many years, I've been fortunate to be invited to a friend's home  for her 

New Year's Day Southern Dinner.

On my way out...Christmas cactus on front porch

I took lite rail and then walked about a mile.  It was a cold, but very sunny day and I enjoyed the walk and the photo ops.

 

 This is what I see while waiting at the 16th Street Station

There are still a few Christmas decoration up and out

Winter is here

 Wonder if they had persimmon cookies for Chrsitmas

 I love Sacramento neighborhoods

 I particularly like this house

I'm glad the people who live here don't care that the lawn is worn under the swing.

Who could resist that nice limb for a swing?

 Almost there

 I've arrived

I got permission before I took photos

They were cool with my (could be) intrusive photo taking

 And then there was dinner

Pork chops, spinach, mac and cheese, black-eyed peas

Thanks again Jackie, it was delicious
