Finding friends and family

I have been hearing about Facebook from S and M and others, I never really felt like joining because I was already busy enough in the Internet, didn't need anymore places to go. But then I decided to join, and it's pretty cool .
I don't think I'll be looking to add friends I don't know just for the sake of having friends, but one nice thing is I got a request to be a friend of my sister's oldest grandaughter in Spain. I was surprised because I didn't even know she had Internet at home (she doesn't, she signed in from a friend's house). She's a goth girl, self described as "different", she's 16 years old.
So now I am in touch with both my niece and my other niece's daughter. Also in touch with my two Swedish nephews, how cool is that!

Just the 2 of us

Today we took S and T to the Long Beach Airport. Then when we got home, L and DK left to San Diego. It was so nice to have them all here even for a short while, and I will surely miss T!!!!

We took a looong nap, then I went to a couple stores and came back home with nothing, y'all know how I love shopping.

M and I were thinking of something fun to do for Thanksgiving since it seems it will be just the 2 of us. He suggested going someplace by the beach for a couple of days. I thought of Cambria, I have always liked that town, has some nice restaurants, and beautiful beaches, close to Hearst Castle. After over an hour online, I realized the US economy is not as bad as they say, because there were no available rooms anywhere! I checked some other areas and same thing...I guess if one wants to get away on holidays one must make a reservation weeks earlier!

Now we are thinking of maybe going December 22 & 23, sort of birthday and pre Christmas get away, we'll see...

Watching movies

I just finished watching "Love actually" and of course I cried at the end, I think I mentioned I cry reading books, watching movies, etc etc. Even comedies, is kind of sad lol
T called from Disneyland saying they will be late because they are staying to watch the fireworks. I am sure it will be awesome!
In a way I wish I had gone too, but I know I would be soooooo tired, I'd probably would have been ready to leave hours ago.
M and I went out to dinner at El Torito Grill in Brea. The hills behind the restaurant had burned down in last week's fire, but the Restaurant was OK, is a good thing because we enjoy eating there.
T just called again, they are ready to leave the park, it's 11:15PM. Fun!

La familia


Tonight my husband, grandson, 2 daughters, L's bf and his daughter are all here, only missing is S's husband. It will be like a mini Thanksgiving, but without the food.

It's a nice feeling having everybody here, since we all live in different places is not very often we can all get together.

Tomorrow they will go to Disneyland :)

Love you all !

Just a Kinder song :)




Albuquerque Turkey(to the tune of "Clementine")

Albuquerque is a turkey

And he's feathered and he's fine

And he wobbles and he gobbles

And he's absolutely mine.

He's the best pet that you can get...

Better than a dog or cat.

He's my Albuquerque turkey

And I'm awfully proud of that.

He once told me, very frankly

He preferred to be my pet,

Not the main course at my dinner,

And I told him not to fret.

And my Albuquerque turkey

Is so happy in his bed,'

Cause for our Thanksgiving dinner...

We had egg foo young instead.
