I know it is a fuzzy shot through an airplane window, but we went by Mt. Shasta on the east side this time as compared to the west side two weeks ago from I-5. Here is the other shot of Mt. Shasta: SHASTA

345 - In Memoriam
We commemorated my mom's life with a memorial service. It was simply beautiful in every way from beginning to end. Good-bye dear Mom and thank you.

In my beautiful balloon?
We looked out the French doors of our villa this morning to see this balloon floating by. It was so close, we could hear the flame.
343 - A Place of Refuge
Sunday, December 9, 2007
We made our way down to Southern California today for my mom's memorial service. We decided that we needed a place of refuge apart from family members to have privacy and rest and relaxation while we mourn. We are staying at the South Coast Winery Resort and Spa. (http://www.wineresort.com/) We have a beautiful villa with a HUGE bathroom overlooking the vineyard. It is lovely (and for a discount price!).

342 - From Dear Husband
Yesterday, when I was making arrangements for the memorial service, my dh walked in the door with these sunny flowers, and it cheered me up in my grief. Yellow flowers are my favorite!

340 - St. Nicholas Day Tradition
Thursday, December 6, 2007
We have been celebrating St. Nicholas Day with the "I" family for the past six years. What a joy to have such a fun tradition with such a great family!
St. Nicholas Day Sunset
I was looking at the beginnings of this as my hands and arms were covered in flour while making the St. Nicholas Day cookies. I did catch it when I drove away and had to stop and take a picture!
