Some new decorations
I didn’t have to walk far to see deer. They were in the yard munching away.
Arlo got a new light up necklace that Jax has to wear.
It was time for my surprise. Shan and Erin took me to a Sip and Paint at Moonraker in Auburn. On our way down the hill was a colorful sunset.
So much fun painting a gnome.
The best part was it actually looked really good.
Thanks Shan and Erin for a memorable night.
Sunrise again to start our day.
Arlo has been watching his “dinosaur” hatch.
Next was decorating the tree. Fun helping Shan decorate their new house. The tree is perfect.
Shan and Donna treated me to a night out at Tinsel Town for drinks and food at the Holbrook Hotel. Then to the Miners Foundry for Christmas sing along.
Donna really gets into the singing.
With temps in the high 50s, we dropped Arlo at Gigi’s (his daycare place) and left to do errands.
What a treat to be able to eat out side in the bright sunshine.
In the evening, we all watched Arthur a Christmas movie.
Monday, Dec 1
Shan and Carl’s new house is a great place to see sunrises. Starts the day off just right.
Arlo is at a fun age. Talks all the time (and I can understand most of it) and smiles a lot. We had fun playing in his playroom and decorating his “felt” tree I got him last year.
Then it was time for our annual tradition to search for the perfect tree. Carl drives us up in the mountains and the search begins.
Shan really did find the perfect tree this year, but it did take a little climbing up a snowy bank.
Fun time decorating Arlo’s tree.
A morning walk along the American River to hopefully see the sea lions. We also saw lots of evidence of beavers.
Finally we spotted several sea lion.
A successful but chilly walk.
For the afternoon, we went to the B Street Theater to see Dog Mom. A comedy with tears and champagne at the end.
Time to meet Shan and Arlo for my time in Nevada City. Drew and Erin handed me off at Moonraker Brewery.
Busy day today. First a walk with Winnie and Drew around the neighborhood.
The trees still have pretty leaves.
I’m always amazed at the fruit trees that are covered in fruit. Wouldn’t it be fun to go outside and pick oranges for your morning drink?
I enjoy watching Drew and Erin decorate their outside. They usually add something new. This year it was another corgi.
Then downtown to see Wicked For Good with friends of Drew and Erin, Samantha and Justin. Second time to see it and loved it just as much.
Last was Plant Bingo at At Ease Brewery. Lots of hoots and hollers when we got close to winning but didn’t have the right numbers.
No, they didn’t win so we bought some!
Their neighborhood loves to decorate so on the way home from the brewery we drove around to see the bright lights. Hoops are a huge item.
