This weekend was a cold one at least by Southern California standards. Late Saturday night or Sunday morning, the 20% chance of rain sounded more like 20 inches of rain. It just poured and the wind blew. We were the recipients of an Arctic blast and when Carolyn and I went out late Sunday afternoon, there was snow on Saddleback (quite low in fact) and people were even bundled in parkas and gloves! Not us, of course, we've been to Scotland!
I had left work early on Friday afternoon because I wasn't feeling that great and got home around 4 and crawled into bed for about a two nap. Carolyn said I had a slight fever, but the nap sweated it out of me, I think.
Saturday, Pattie Brown came over (she's here from London for about two weeks) to visit and later Wanda came over and helped Carolyn re-arrange pictures and knick-knacks now that the downstairs painting is practically complete while I got a haircut (the pre-Thanksgiving rush) and took my film to Cal's Cameras to have printed (esp. the 1 roll shot at the wrong ASA speed) as well as to have a few favorites enlarged.
Sunday, because Carolyn still didn't feel that well, we skipped church and read both papers in bed and then continued to work on de-cluttering our house. I ordered some new closet doors for our guest bedroom from Home Depot and went through piles of shirts, et al, that I began to iron while watching pro football. Then, in late afternoon, we drove out El Toro Road to watch the sun setting on one side and snow capped Saddleback Mtn. on the other. Afterwards, we grabbed dinner out in Foothill Ranch, Carolyn choosing Indian while I chose Mexican.
Now, I only have a short week of work (my favorite kind) and the view outside my office window is of the snow draped San Gabriel mountains! I heard this morning that there was even snow in Barstow.
May you all have a happy and tasty Thanksgiving!
