November started with a fabulous trip to San Francisco!

My two precious daughter-in-laws gave me a 65^th birthday to remember!!

Pat and I flew north from Palm Springs while Maria and Karen flew south
from Portland and we all met at the airport. 

We had a gorgeous limo waiting to take us to
Fisherman’s Wharf – My first limo ride!!  EVER!

San Francisco was beautiful.  The weather couldn’t have been nicer. 
We took several tours……..through downtown ……
across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito

Isn’t this a quaint little Sausalito building?

Another tour – this time to Chinatown – it was so much fun!!

The TransAmerica Building

The Coit Tower

My two sweetheart daugher-in-laws ….
How on earth did I ever get so lucky to have them?

We took a boat tour over to Alcatraz.  A very interesting self guided tour.

I would recommend it to anyone!!

I wouldn’t have wanted to spend much time here.

Our hotel was right on Fisherman’s Wharf and Wow was it beautiful.

We stayed at the Argonaut.

We all had such a great time.

Our entire trip was just the best ever.  I had a most memorable birthday.  

It was well worth turning 65 for ………..

Back to reality …….. Mike & I drove over to Algodones Mexico to get
our teeth cleaned and checked.  This is the border crossing.

Our lot in Indio is looking very colorful this year. 
We have the most beautiful geraniums.

We had a wonderful surprise visit from one of Mike's best friends
(and the best man in our wedding 45 years ago)
Joe Lewellen was in town for some business and
we were lucky to spend an evening with Joe.

We went out to eat on Thanksgiving with friends.

The food was wonderful…….. but no leftovers!

Finished out this month at a purse party with
Pat and our friend Sharon.

Life in the desert is outstanding.  The weather is fabulous.  Our friends are the best!

I just can’t tell you how much I love it here.
