We are here in Sacramento and are expecting rain. Hope we get packed and on the road tomorrow for our RV trip down to Palm Desert. Spook is fueled and tuned-up and appears to be champing at the bit.
I wish I were in that shape. I have a sore shoulder from a slip on the ice up on Reno last Monday. (Pulled muscle) DMSO is doing its work in relieving the pain.
Oh well, Southern California sunshine, here we come. Might also visit our Northern California water while I am there.

We have rain!
It is not raining right now, but it rained almost all night here in Sacramento. Hope to go back home to Reno tomorrow, but it is very possible that travel over Donner will be severely limited and we will have to stay here in Sacramento for another couple of days.
I am a bit disappointed with the bowl games thus far. Sure saw a lot of sloppy football.
Hope to troop down to the Palm Springs area next week. We just might get out of this cold for a while.

Bud was here this morning!
He will return tomorrow morning for breakfast.
We went to the park again and played on the jungle gym, using the slide and then did the swing thing before heading back to the house.
He is truly amazing! I can't wait to have him talk.

Dang!
Bud and his parents couldn't make it to Sacramento last night, but will be here later today. So, our trip to Reno is off for another six months or so. Bud will have to have his experience with snow another time.
It is a bit chilly in Sacramento this morning. Heat should come on automatically in another hour and one half. I am currently debating as to whether I should turn it on manually right now.
The front room is stacked with gifts for mom and the kids. Kirby won't know what is going on (only two months old), but Bud (15 months old) might just be a riot.
We will have Xmas morning here with the kids. Peter and Laura will then head up to Grass Valley for Xmas with her family and the rest of us will head down near Elk Grove and have Xmas dinner with Bud's other grand parents (Vicki and Chris). (It will be a long day.)
After we get home, we shall start preparing Spook for a trip to Palm Springs, San Diego and Fullerton. Hopefully, we shall be able to get out of the cold for a couple of weeks and re-connect with old friends in Palm Desert and San Diego.
It has been a very good year. Hope we have another one like it.

Mo Rain!
The downspouts were talking to us this morning, but are silent now. The rain sure made it smell good and apparently cleaned the air a bit.
The sad thing about that is that now those contaminates are in the soil, washed there by the rain. (Can't seem to win. Cure the problem, but by-products can kill ya.)

Dogs
Yeah, we have two, Teddy and Winston. Teddy is a Bijon and Winston is a Lhasa. (Both are rescue dogs, so we take the breed suggested as an educated guest.)
Teddy came from a shelter in Lodi. Winston came from the Sacramento pound. They have vastly different histories. Winston was on the street, but somewhere along the way was given some very expensive eye surgery on his left eye while Teddy was from apartment living and was most probably spoiled rotten.
Teddy was three when we adopted him and Winston was four. Both of these ages are estimates, but seem to work fine for them.
We have had them since 2005 and haven't regreted their adoption for one second.
