Christmas 2008

Leisure Lee and I spent Christmas evening at his sisters house in GrassValley. Though this picture depicts a good time... I did not feel the Christmas Spirit. I find myself at a loss of words with his family anymore with the exception of the grandchildren and my sister and brother -in-law. I do find myself interacting with Big "E" this is Leisure Lee's nephew... I was happy to be at home toasting the close of the night with an egg nog!

One of my favorite past times is looking into the sky, whether it's a glorious sunrise, a red-lined setting sun, and my ultimate time is the night sky! Recently I enjoyed gazing at the full moon with one of the planets and north star sitting next to each other. Also, Leisure Lee and I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary. We celebrated by attending a Carpenter's Service Pin ceremony whereby he was awarded his 35 year service pin. I enjoyed being with him and meeting new people. I actually met a woman who was born in Auburn and raised in the little town of Penryn. She knew my Dad and her family knows my Mom and Dad - we went to the same high school too. Anyway - it was great. Our traditional night out for dinner and attending the Festival of Lights Parade was preempted by a night of surprise
