Doing tons of walking this month, strengthening the leg muscles. . . . going great. enjoying the colors outside walking the neighborhood. It was already getting dark this afternoon around 2pm mostly because of the rain, and the sun is down by 5pm. Enjoying the holiday lights, Hayes Valley is lighting up.

Had a nice birthday yesterday. Clearing out the head. Thinking of a few holiday decorations for the front work room. not sure what i will do. (if anything) I always like the little white mini lights and sometimes border my back kitchen door, if just for a night light, so dark back there at night. Boo!

Getting along just peachy since the surgery. About to lose the cane (walking stick) and enjoy walking everyday to build up strength in my leg muscles. Joined a gym once again to use some cardio machines, have yet to find a routine there. Walking the semi-hills here in my neighborhood is cardio enough.

Cheers Everyone!

Today is my birthday : ) ) . . . . going out soon to have some lunch, then off to a gallery exhibit later in the afternoon to see an exhibit of oils by friends Randy Beckelheimer and his other half Miranda. Randy's paintings: [link]

Cheers Everyone!

I've been starting to get very busy the past few weeks, . . . all good! - I traveled up to friend Evan's place in Rohnert Park, Sonoma last week and snapped a few pictures like usual, put together a panoramic shot that Evan decided to use as a label for the Pinot Noir 2006 grapes. Here: [link] He has a some acreage of vines up the steep hill on the back on the property. Looking down: [link] and so the grapes from 2006 are ready to drink. Will open my bottle tomorrow to give a try
