Christmas must really be over


It has nothing to do with Christmas, but I saw this stick stuck (a stuck stick?) on the edge of the deck. When I tried to pull it off (to unstick the stick as it were), it MOVED! It's not a stick at all. It's a bug. Kinda cute and really well camouflaged - except when it's stuck to the deck.

Now to Christmas - The village of San Antonio took down their Christmas light from the plaza. (If you remember, they were among the first to put lights up.) And this morning I took the Christmas lights off the Ola Lola's web site home page. Still haven't taken the "tree" down from the front of Ola Lola's though. Our family tradition is we don't take down our Christmas tree until at least Valentine's Day. This year we're going to change the green rope lights and the star on top of the tree for red rope lights and a heart and make it a Valentine's tree. We may never take it down. Just keep changing it for whatever season it is.

We got word today that a dear dear friend of ours, another kite flyer, passed away. Brisas suaves, Tom.

Yesterday was beautiful here. Great waves for the surfers, big wind for kite surfers, sunny and warm all day. I missed the surfing and kite surfing (but not the sunny and warm parts) because it was a day of work around the house.

Our friend Tito helped us replace the shutter on the "guest room" and repair a couple of other doors. I'm building a railing around the little deck and putting fishnet in all the upstairs railings to make them safe for our grand daughter Kennedy who is coming to visit next week. Lots of little chores that tend to get put off 'cause doing them would interfere with play time. But they gotta get done some time. Speaking of which, Tito is here to finish up so I gotta go.
