Where does the time go? Can it really be almost 2 months since our last posting? We had a fun Halloween & great Thanksgiving, too. Just before T'day we did a bit more remodeling on the desert cottage. With Laura's help, we planned a new tile floor for the master bath and closet. We also made major changes in the closet with the installation of a wonderful closet system. All our clothes now fit into one closet instead of three. Organization is great!Then we moved on to Christmas preparations. It's a different experience to put up outdoor Christmas lights wearing shorts, T-shirt and flip-flops. We didn't once need to come indoors to warm frozen fingers. Christmas shopping evenings are fun - the weather is temperate and the tall palm trees at our favorite shopping center are decked out in lights. It's a big contrast to what we were used to in Michigan and sometimes seems odd. But it's also a whole lot of fun!
