SoCal Thanksgiving

We visited Grammy and Papa for Thanksgiving this year. It was the perfect timing, too. While we were gone it snowed about 14 inches. But in Southern Cal it was warm enough to play on the beach. Yahoo. Our departure morning, from Spokane, there were 5 fresh inches of snow...the first of the year. We made it to the airport with not much time to spare. Before long, as you can see, we found sand to replace the snow.

We wouldn't be doing this in Spokane. Fortunately, we had a local golf pro (Grammy) to provide a few pointers. And for a hard days work on the course...well we made ourselves 2 beautiful pies. 

After Thanksgiving, a harbor tour of Newport, with it's bazzilion dollar homes. I think this guy in the glasses must live in one of them. 

Playing electric trains. 

Last touches on Amber's quilt. Thank you aunt Linda and Grammy.

After relaxing away from home and work, the time came to head back. Wouldn't you know, we flew into a Spokane snow storm. There were piles of snow everywhere. Thank heaven for snow blowers and good neighbors.
