Lyon's Crabby Christmas


Shelly & Chad hosted the family for a great evening of crab, kids, and a sighting of Santa! Chris, Liz, Sammia and Isabella came down from Chico. Grandmama Meena and Papa Ray were surrounded by all their kids and grandkids. We shared special Christmas memories around the table, and made a new one in the process. View the photos on Flickr.

Holy Crap - It's December

How did it get to be December? What happened? I feel kinda like this Santa, needing a stiff dirty martini and a change of pants. I can totally relate to screaming Dougal-Baby Scott and dumbfounded Little Dell (photo circa 1967). "Wha Happan?"

It's only 21 days till Christmas, and I am so not ready for it. Trying to get in the spirit, but it is slow coming. Maybe soon, hopefully soon... Nora is really helping, with her advent calendar excitement, and her pink twinkle lights in her room (not white or multicolored - they had to be pink). I bet after this weekend, it will really kick in. Crossing my fingers.

Thanksgiving in Lakeport


Nicki and Andy hosted a lovely Thanksgiving this year. It was a smaller group, but it was still full of love and thankfulness. We missed those who weren't with us this year. Love to everyone! View the photos on Flickr.

Plant Trees + Stop Junk Mail = Green Dimes

I just found this web site to deal with my huge junk mail problem: GreenDimes. For a dime a day they get your name off direct mailing lists and keep it off, and plant a tree for you every month. So if you want to stop your mailbox from overflowing, and save some trees, take a look at GreenDimes. Note: I have noticed a HUGE reduction in the amount of junk mail I have been getting!
