Just wanted to get caught up. TURKEY DAY This Thanksgiving was very nice. I didn't have to cook. We went up to Brent's aunt's house in Lake County on Clear Lake which is just north of Napa County. Teet and Brent helped to cook the turkey. Anyway it was me, Brent, Andrew (who was soooo good) Joseph (he was also very good) Teet, MaryAnn, Mike, Tony & Cassie. Carmy and Richard showed up at 2 on Thanksgiving. The trip is about 7 hours for Brent. There was a nice crowd, not too many people. We left at 4 in the morning and had traveled a good distance before the boys woke up. The trip is 454 miles. We arrived at 12 on Weds, after taking the scenic 101 through the wine counties of Sonoma and Napa. We got a hotel in town because it would have been too much to stay at MaryAnn's. I Turkey Day was fun. Andrew helped Mike make non-alocholic drinks. Haha! I bought Marie Callendar pies, a pecan, blueberry and french apple. On Friday, Brent, me, the boys, Carmy & Richard, and Tony & Cassie went to Napa, to Calistoga where we visited the Sterling winery and then the Beringer one. Sterling had a gondola ride which Andrew liked. Joseph slept through it! haha. Saturday we traveled back home, leaving at 4 in the morning again and I went back to work that night. I wanted to take some scenic pics ones but we forgot to bring the battery charger and the digital camera died. ENT I went to the ENT yesterday because I was feeling some pressure near my old surgery, near the temple. He said I might have allergies and gave me some XYZAL and Dermamist to take for a month. XYZAL makes me drowsy as it's an antihistmine. I was very tired at work last night. It seems to work because I am feeling much better. PreView Reader Views did a "preview" of my book.
