It rained last night. Bright and breezy this morning and the ocean is covered with whitecaps.Better go take in the umbrellas on the patio.

Debbie, the only time I like colder weather is for Christmas, but I could get used to a summer Christmas, that's for sure.
Ruth wrote: "Overcast and dreary here in Sunny Socal, too."But warm. I'm jealous, Ruth. ;)
Clear always mean brrrrrr! in the winter, NE.
Carol, I'm sorry, but I don't know any book titles that fit what you're looking for.
Speaking of witch,(little pun) I am reading a fiction about the Salem Witch trails. Anyone know of a well written non-fiction about same subject. I am on a history kick this year.
You're welcome, Carol.I have a friend in the warm, sunny Canary Islands, who wants to fly home to England for Christmas and there's so much snow and fog in England he thinks his flight will be delayed.
Here, it's just overcast and dreary.
I hope she gets to your home soon. At least in time for Christmas. She would make better time with Santa maybe.
Glad to hear they got there safely, Carol. And tell your son to take heart, spring comes early to Virginia and it's gorgeous when it does.I must be a very odd person, I LIKE the Newark airport. But Amsterdam's Schiphol is the best. That first one looks sort of like a space station. Well, how I picture a space station. I don't really know what one looks like. Don't want to, either.
That sucks, Detroit is not an airport I would want to be stuck in for too long. There was an article not to long ago about which airports were the best to be stuck in. here you go

Mine lost her flight out of Seattle yesterday and spent all day at the airport. Got one this a.m. and NOW is hung up in Detroit.Planes. Can't live with 'em, can't live with 'em.
YEAH! THE KIDS MADE IT SAFELY TO THEIR DESTINATION IN VIRGINIA. THE ROADS WERE CLEAR SAILING. IT IS COLD FOR MY CALIFORNIA BOY. HE BOUGHT HIS FIRST PAIR SNOW BOOTS. HAHAHAHAHA Thanks for listening to my play by play.
Change the name to my son's and you will have about how I feel. I am happy for them and their career advancements. I have encouraged them to make this move, but I an devastated for me and my husband. we will miss them very much. Thanks for the chuckle David . I needed that.
Puts me in mind of this:Long distance information give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave a number but I know who placed the call
'Cause my uncle took a message and he wrote it on the wall
Help me information get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis, Tennessee
Her house is on the south side, high upon the ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge
Help me information, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee
Last time I saw Marie she was waving me good-bye
With hurry home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eye
Marie is only six years' old, information please
Help me get in touch with her in Memphis Tennessee
Daughter -in-law is from there and they were married there. They want us to relocate there. I don't know what will happen.
The snowstorm has moved into southern New England now, Carol, so the roads to Virginia should stay clear for your son and his family. The trip should be fairly easy. Alexandria and Fairfax are beautiful places. I lived in Falls Church, Virgina once for a while and loved it. Close to Washington, D.C.
This is an update on my son. They have left Memphis heading to Nashville. They send pictures along the way. The roads are clear for now. There will be snow flurries the closer they get to Va. They want to make it to Blacksburg Va. tonight , and go the final leg tomorrow , They will relocate in Alexandria, Va. But for now they will be in Fairfax with relatives.
Hopefully, you'll hear from your son and learn he's in Virginia today, Carol. I'm sure he'll be fine. The roads are always cleared when it snows. Here in Ohio, it's raining instead of snowing, but I'm in southern Ohio. In Cleveland, by Lake Erie, I would think it's snowing.
The kids are bunked down for the night.I should say hunkered down. My son said the wind chill is 0 degrees. He has never been in this weather before. I have to fix some dinner.
I think he needs to drive a tank! LOL He's a good driver. All the accidents have been the fault of the other person. Terrible!
I think brother needs a red car, so everyone can see him. Or a James Bond car with spikes on the hubcaps that keep other cars at bay.
Unfortunately, it is, Carol, but any time is bad, really. My brother's car got hit for the fifth time when we went out to get dinner today. At least this driver was insured. The other four were not despite the fact that Ohio requires every driver to have insurance. You lose your license if you have an accident and have no insurance.All five times were someone else's fault, too, but this guy wasn't a jerk like some of the others were.
My kids are in Memphis, Tn. They have stopped for night. I have been on-line, giving them driving and weather updates all day. They are on their way to Va. It is bad weekend to travel.
You have to be careful with candles. Most of them burn bad juju into your air. I'm not clear on this, though. I only know that beeswax candles are safe -- and maybe the new soy jobbers. Nothing is as it seems. That's what I like about this ride.
They need all that light to go squid hunting. Let's go down to the sea
bring the candles if you please
hooligans doused the lighthouse
so man the shore
with candles galore

Yeah, but Yankee Candles (and you're a Yank!) sell just about every aroma out there in it's candle aisle!
Luddites and early adopters alike light candles!
Plus, octopi always scored with the babes. The squid just got ink all over everything -- prematurely.
And don't forget your coconuts. I thought that was funny. I have heard it said that squid were smart but never an octopus
