Everyday is like Sunday

Sunday we went to visit Gram in San Marcos, driving by the fire lines. I understand now why the freeway was close. On the East side of the road, there was nothing standing. Just little white piles of ash where chapparel used to stand. San Onofrey got licked, just grazed really. Hardly anyone on the freeway. Quiet and gray.
We ordered in because Gram wouldn't go out. Restriction because of air quality are still in place.

When we came home, we went on a nice long ride through Irvine. We found a park called the Incredible Edible Park--interesting. Food plants throughout. We took home some zucchini and oranges. Yummy! We rode to JE's future work. He goes from 1.4 miles to around 9. So much better than most commutes in this area. I just wish Irvine would figure a way to make a better bike trail over the freeways.

Monday I started working on a quilt for Tia for Christmas. I actually started it 5-6 years ago, made all these great patches, put them all together and realized that they created a swastika. Nope none of that, so I pulled them apart and sewed them into long stripes of stripes and put the whole quilt together in 2 days. I will eventually make another for Lou, but will have to ship it.

M&D's 40th anniversary, I bought tickets for them to come to Portland. I will be going Saturday and am excited. I love Portland, I love my Sisters. Hurray!

Last night we went to visit Swantje for her birthday Halloween party. We went as grape apes, space monkeys, Disco yeti, purple people eaters, people wearing cheap purple fur costumes. Funny and Fun! Didn't realize most people wouldn't be dressed up. We stopped and picked up some sangak bread, which was a hit because she had a Middle Eastern Feast. Yummy! We went to a neighbors house that was all decked out, no really really decked out, like thousands and thousands of dollars decked out for Holloween. So much stuff! The question on the evening was where do they store all that stuff? I don't understand that kind of thinking, why so much?
