We are now in Palos Verdes visiting my mom's parents after 3 days in Beaumont with grandma Theresa. While we were in Beaumont Bonnie and I went on a hike with my dad and his brother Dale to the Morongo Wilderness Preserve. Here is a picture of Bon and me that Dale took while we were on the hike.
We are going back to San Francisco on the 29th and it is supposed to start raining again in the middle of the week so hopefully our flight doesn't get delayed again like it did coming down!

Family Vacation
Tomorrow we are flying to LAX to visit the grandparents. We will first drive to Beaumont to visit Grandma Theresa and spend Christmas with her, then we will drive to Palos Verdes on the 26th to spend my mom's parents' wedding anniversary with them. I think it will be their 79th anniversary, give or take a few.

Seattle, again.
I went back to Seattle last weekend to visit with my friends at the Yellow House. It was a real good time. Among other things we: got me a library card, made footprint reindeer decorations, made a gingerbread house, got a pizza, ate burritos, put up christmas lights, and made a cake. I am in San Francisco for a week until we all fly down to LA for a week. Here is a picture of Rosie putting up lights that my friend Emily took:

No One Was Like Vermeer
I came back from Santa Cruz! Only without my bike helmet. I went to Jonathan Richman at the Great American Music Hall with friends Andrey and Elizabeth. It was a good show, a bit sillier than last February in Brooklyn, more dancing less sing-a-longs. I think that one thing that was the same is that both times he didn't even get all the way off the stage before he came back for the encore.
Then I went to the MOMA with Bon yesterday, we saw the 75th Anniversary exhibit and then we walked around some other stuff. It was the once a month free day but it wasn't that crowded except for the Henri Cartier-Bresson exhibit which I also saw in New York during the summer. We briefly walked into the wine exhibit but decided we were in over our heads. Bon said, "Are you gonna blog about this?" I said, "No." Then I said, "Yes." Then Bon said, "Blog."
We were going to work in the garden today but it rained all day instead. Maybe we will tomorrow. I am going to plant squash everywhere.

Bon and Pat have fun all day long.
I have been in San Francisco for a while now. Things that I have done are clean the room (mostly), fix the computer, ride the bike to West Portal, go to Mariah's choir concert, get burritos (2). I am going to Santa Cruz tomorrow to visit Stef, we're gonna have a great time but I can't stay long because I have to be back Sunady night to go see Jonathan Richman at the Great American Music Hall!

We made it
We arrived in San Francisco late last night after a long rainy drive from Portland. It is nice to be back in the city but unfortunately the rain followed us down the coast. Erik is here for a couple days and then he will keep driving down to Ventura County. I am excited to be in SF for a little while and see how different it is. I already don't understand how to ride the bus.

Idaho and new pictures
We are in Northern Idaho, in Dover which is near Sandpoint on Lake Pend Oreille. It has been raining on and off mostly on but only a drizzle, sometimes more. Because we crossed into the Pacific Time Zone on Daylight Savings Day we are frequently very confused as to the time. Tomorrow I think, or the next day we will drive to Seattle if the weather is nice. I have some more pictures now, they are all on flickr but here are a few:
