They're baack

The SDG&E helicopters were back today. This time they were picking up the metal crates and pallets from the equipment they left off Sunday.

Mannheim Steamroller

Last night Mom, Dennis & I went to the Civic Theater downtown San Diego to see the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas concert. It was great. This is my favorite Christmas music. I've been buying their CDs for years at Christmas.

Spike

Spike had another seizure last night. It's so hard to watch, first the seizure and then the wandering around as though he can't see and doesn't know what he is doing or where he is going.

But this morning he was looking for his breakfast like normal; tonight he blasted through his dog door and ran around the living room. He ate his lunch, his dinner, and now is staring me down for cookies. Good boy.

Spike sleeps in the closet most of the time

Power Link

SDGE/Sempra has been on our block for months and will be here until December 30 presumably. But on Saturday they arrived at our house. Helicopters began arriving in the early morning, delivering equipment to the two tower sites just on the other side of our property lines.

Look toward upper right to see the parade of towers coming toward us.

Dinner

My crockpot cooked a whole chicken today and we had that and asparagus and Mom's potatoes for dinner. Angie and Gary came over with Mom and we had a nice dinner together. Dennis made a carrot cake for dessert and it was delicious.

My Sister Returns

Yesterday, Dennis left around 2 a.m. to pick up some equipment in Orange County. I spent the day going to physical therapy in the morning, then doing some grocery shopping. I'm starting to do some of the cooking at home and I needed some condiments. Dennis got home around 5 p.m. and we were both tired; Mom didn't feel like going out, so we all stayed home.

Angie and Gary are returning to the ranch today, but will leave tomorrow for Flagstaff. A short visit.

This morning we are going out for breakfast and then we're going to Blue Dolphin Stained Glass to shop for some glass and maybe a new wine bottle slumper.

No T.R.O.T. Today

Dennis is using the truck today so no trail ride. As it turned out, it's raining so we wouldn't have gone anyway. The vet is coming this afternoon to see if Happy is doing any better. I'm making 3-bean vegetarian chile for dinner tonight. Not too tough; the crockpot is doing most of the work.
