Hats for Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego

I knitted more hats for RCH in larger sizes for the kids that go through Chemo therapy. The San Diego Charger colors probably won't be very popular.....

The Wedge - Cheese & Beer & Wine

We managed to stop by all 32 participants and had a great time. $35 seems expensive but all the food and drinks where well worth it.

Hope it will continue in 2013.

Driving along the Oregon Coast

The Oregon coast is so beautiful and weather was perfect.

 Bandon Oregon is a nice town with lots of drift wood on the beaches.

 Yellow flowers and a yellow condom.....

Cinnamon Streusel, and Chocolate Swirl

Plus "The House Specialty"

That was a lot of delicious food!

Kris Kristofferson in Jacksonville OR at Britt

Andreas and Tammy bought us tickets to spend an evening with them and Kris in a beautiful setting in Jacksonville, Oregon at the Britt.
We know the words to most of his songs and so did the rest of the audience. He is 76 years old and his voice sounded accordingly but he is still the same great performer. Made fun of himself when we missed a word or started in the wrong key. The songs he wrote and performed are classics and we enjoyed the evening very much.

The Rady Potties

What a great bunch of gals ( Penny where are you?).
