Crazy November weather!

It is beautiful out this morning... Prediction is for rain...guess one must dress in layers these days..When I turn the heat on here in my apartment, I just barely turn it up...in no time it is too warm and I have to open the door to let in some coolness....

The river has gotten high with all the rain happening lately. I think most of the fish are gone now - it is hard to see them with the water all dusky from the speed of the current. There were three more dead ones on the sidewalk yesterday...guess the seagulls pull them up out of the water. It is gross!! I guess further down the river are where the larger fish are and where it smells bad.

The beautiful trees have lost most of their leaves. The Renton Park Department does a wonderful job of blowing them up and disposing of them . Wet leaves tend to get slippery. My biggest complaint s that whenever Fritz leaves a "deposit" I have a hard time seeing it...leaves are sorta the same color,.,..lol! It is especially bad at night now that daylight savings time is over..and I pack a flashlight when I go out now and even that doesn't always help..... Oh the problems of the aged!!!!!

Saturday Jocelyn and I took a trip to the casino.....I didn't win anything, but did partake of the wonderful buffet which consisted of lots of crab AND a lobster tail...Boy that was good!!

This weekend is our family friend's Quincenera....Hope I spelled it correctly. She is turning 15 this month and it is Mexican tradition that this party is thrown for her to celebrate her ascension into womanhood...Marcia is doing most of the organizing for this and the rest of us are contributing one thing or another to the event. It will be hugely interesting.l I have never been to one of these...let alone heard of it. Should be fun. Karina is a wonderful young girl whom we have known since she was born. I consider her another granddaughter!! I'll let you all know all about it next post.

This past weekend was the building's annual fall bazaar. I had decided last year that I would make up a bunch of tote bags and try to sell them....well....so much for that idea...I am still on the first one....Merry Christmas everyone. !!

Gotta go....haven't had breakfast yet and it is 11AM!!
