Gosh, where did December go??? I just spent a couple days in California--holy, moly--I could not live and commute to a job in all that traffic. It seemed as if we spent more time sitting in traffic than we did anything else! We did eat some spectacular food--if you ever find yourself in Burlingame, California have dinner at Cafe Figdro Italian Restaurant--one of the best meals I've ever had and not expensive! Did a little Christmas shopping and was taken aback by the clerks saying, "would you like a bag for an extra $0.10?" WHAT, HUH???? Yep, if you want a bag to contain your purchases, you will pay $0.10 for it--sure was glad I was carrying a large handbag!!
My cowboy and little Emmi were sure glad to see me this afternoon--they've been working on a few projects, doing a little walking and enduring some not so Arizona like temperatures.
Christmas will be here before we know it!

The temps have been way too cool, but we've had great sunsets:)
ReplyDeletePaying for a bag was common in Spain, but we've yet to encounter that in the USA. With the push for folks to bring their own reusable bags maybe that's a good thing. I hate seeing Walmart bags hanging from trees and laying alongside the highways. Nice sunsets!
ReplyDeleteInteresting that they charge you a dime for a bag while at the few stores I've been at that reward you for bringing your own cloth bag, they only refund you a nickel. ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the bag charge is spreading, we had it in SoCal for a couple years. You definitely were in the worst area of CA for traffic, although it's also a very beautiful area :-) It was nearly as bad in L.A., making my flying commute to Sacramento shorter than a drive to downtown every week!! Hope the new OLW works for you.
ReplyDeleteLove your new kitchen.
ReplyDeleteGreat cabinets.
Enjoying your ATV adventures and the remodeling of your house.
