Dave often wonders why we have so many linens. I did sort through them and get rid of some really old sheets before the move. Now I know why I kept so many- and these are the ones that aren't already on the beds awaiting our soon to arrive guests. In addition to the sheets I had to purchase some "frost blankets" at the local garden center. The citrus look quite cozy all wrapped in their blankets.
Yes, my cold weather friends in other locales, this is Southern California in the winter! It may be sunny most days and you are picturing me frolicking on the beach and admiring the surfers….. Well let me tell you when that sun goes down the temperature plummets rapidly and we had a significant frost last night and one predicted tonight with a low of 29. I learn so much from goggle- because of the low humidity here the air cools and warms more rapidly which explains the huge temperature variation between day and night. Well, I have done my best with the materials I had on hand and the rest of the plants will just have to take their chances!

| Bought these for Dave because he thinks "sea" salt is ridiculous. He says salt is salt! But these caramels do sound classy…. and they are very tasty. I feel so sophisticated eating them! |
The "monkey factory"- sock monkeys in all stages of development. Please note the middle monkey is a MUG cozy. Oh yes, I am getting quite creative! But monkey production will be slowing down since we have many exciting guests coming. They arrive on Thurs, Fri, Sat, and Tuesday form all corners of the USA: Wisconsin, Washington, Kansas, and S. Carolina. Have a wonderful holiday and enjoy the special people in your life :)
Who is coming from SC???? Have a great time with ALL your company! Sounds like you'll have a blast.
