Christmas...once the gifts have been opened, the laughter and joy shared, the food eaten...then what?
We decided to go visit the daughter and her hubbie, who were going to go to Portland to see his parents the weekend before, only to have their flights canceled. She said they would have been stuck at the mid-way point for three days, waiting to go on...

The weather was a brisk 20 something the other morning when we left, and a balmy 52 near the ocean where they live, on the north part of the Monterey peninsula. They just moved to a more spacious two bedroom apartment, which honey estimates to be about 900 sq ft compared to the 477 sq ft they lived in. I still cant see how that small a space was renting for 1600 a month, especially since it had been built in the 1920's..and looked it.

Their new place (same rent, just bigger) is further away from the ocean, which doesnt bother them since they never go to the beach anyway.
We had a good time, and thankfully now they have a place big enough for us to stay over at, honey said we might come down to visit them more often. When we went ot see them before, it was so cramped we would rent a hotel room, usually for about $200 a night, so extended stays were a little expensive...and so they came to see us more.
I think from now to the new year I am not going to be so busy online, and catch up on some things...

Have a happy NEW YEAR, hope your Christmas was joyous!!!
