Happy New Year

We decided since this was our last year to celebrate New Years in California that we would take our camp trailer out to the coast.  One Our of our sons and a few of his friends joined and in total there were 11 people,2 tents and 3camp trailers and a cabover camper. 4 amazing dogs, .7 crabing pots, 27 Crabs caught and 50 BBQ oysters.  Sunny weather and lots of fun.
Going to miss CAlifornia coastline,but we are so looking foward to living Idaho.

A Christmas vacation visit.

Every year over my Christmas vacation from work,we get our grandaughter for a few days. This year is especially special to us,as it is the last year in our home here in California. We move this spring to Idaho to live out our dream of having a hobby farm. Don't know how many Christmases we will get to have Autumn at our home for vacation after this. Hope we still get to have many visits still.

My Purple crazy lady.....

 I love searching the Internet, I find the most beautiful things, images, poems....

often leaves me intrigued, inspired, awestruck.  I love reflecting on the things I find... for example. My most favorite color is PURPLE.

Santa actually came to town on a cow. Who said anything about a sleigh or reindeer.  I love my new teapot.

My friend Annette and her mom are so talented. The crochete plum pudding is a pattern from France.  And the pillow crossstitch is also made from a special fiber from France. Thank you Annette.

Tis the season.

Love my crafting projects,especially at Christmas time.

Bonnie

Carin with Baby Remi and Mommy. 

Being raised on a ranch in Half Moon Bay, I remember being around horses as long as I can remember.   Earlier I posted some pictures of horses I love that are my neices.  Here are more.  My best day is a day riding with my kids and neice out at the ranch on the coast of California.   She has a trail riding business and has rescued and rehabilitated most of her horses.  She has a Horse rescue Non Profit called Hoof Beats of America... if anyone wants a horse she adopts them out to good homes.  She is Keeping Remi and Bonnie.

Peek a Boo


I could not possibly post all the pictures I have of over 27 horses here on my blog.   These are just a few that I took on a day at my niece's ranch.
