Good Morning,
It's a cold 46 degrees here in unsunny California. For all you cold weather people laughing at me and preparing to throw your earmuffs my way, just remember that we get to 115 here in the heat of the summer so adjusting to the cold takes some getting used to.
My Thanksgiving trip to Placerville went well. My sister has a beautiful home on an acre and has a creek in her backyard. I keep asking her to trade houses with me, but she just gives me her happy smile and doesn't say a word.
Been busy trying to play catch-up now that I am back - so many things to do here. Hubby is working in Newport News VA on a nuclear missile cruiser (he can't tell me which one yet) welding a launch tube missile bracket that broke. He said the ship is full of Sailors <sailor says turning green with envy> and they are very nice to him and he gets to eat his meals with them. Hubby is civilian but works for Navy. He says they all look like little boys in uniform.
His first day there, as he was going through the gated parking lot in his rental car, he had the Marines rush up to him with their guns drawn. They got him out of the car, searched the car, ex-rayed the underside and then questioned him. Yes, his car was a rental, no he didn't read the sign at the gate that told him to stop there and wait for the Marines to escort him to the ship. Guess he won't forget to do that again. They then proceeded to fill the windows of the car with a ton of stickers and escort him to a parking lot and gave him a ride to the ship.
Hope everyone is having a great day,
