DECEMBER!

I'm taking a break from putting away fall & getting out Christmas decorations. It is all coming at me too fast and it will be good to "relive" the past weekend before moving on to all that is coming up.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Dinner for three on Thursday (with lots & lots of leftovers);

An afternoon of jam & jelly making on Friday.

Shannon & Mom taking a break; with blackberry & strawberry jam done; apricot in containers cooling and apple butter in the bowl ready to put in containers.

On Saturday Kevin, Shannon, Mike & I went to Healdsburg & Santa Rosa for wine & beer tasting. Kevin is in the beer division at Safeway now- so one stop for wine & two for beer.

Our last stop was at Russian River Brewery for dinner and a beer sampler; we had 13 of these tiny glasses.

And since Charlie couldn't join us because he was working on Saturday, we stopped by the Charles Schultz Museum just for the photo op.

(We love you Charlie & missed having you with us.)
