well, i didn’t do much blogging last year. looking back i can’t believe it. we didn’t do any traveling, but i did want to post a lot of other things. the name of the blog is ‘see the usa’ which we didn’t do, so i guess i will have to change the title this year. we will probably keep our travels in california now. there is still a lot we haven’t seen and a lot we want to see again.
so ‘california here we come’ will be the new title.
i had cataract surgery early this month which kept me from sending out christmas cards. I was constantly putting in eye drops for weeks. I had 4 medications that I put in 4 times a day. It was hard to focus. Yesterday was the last day.
we didn’t put up the tree or set up the polar express train this year. I did put my bottle brush trees in the living room window.

and my glass trees in the dining room window.


And more bottle brush trees in the kitchen window. I’m getting quite a collection of them. They are one my favorite things of Christmas.
I couldn’t do a post without our hats. Jose came over as we were trying to figure out how to do it. It turned out good. Thanks Jose.
We’re going to Tony’s for dinner tonight and tomorrow we will go to the Queen Mary with Kara. So we will miss Chris and Jose’s evening with his family this year.
So you all have a jolly good time this Christmas.
❤️ Love jillyandjerry ❤️
Merry Christmas you two. It’s always a delight to see your blogs. Maybe Ray and I can see some of California with you.
Merry Christmas looking forward to the time we get together again and plate some silly game that we take so seriously. As you know our life depends on me or Jill winning. and i like it best when I win. Love to all
No, it actually depends on me winning Ray. I like it best that way. Don’t I have one up on you? I will for sure the next time we play.
Did you see Martha’s comment? Your going on a trip with us.
Hi Grandma! I love your pretty window. I’m excited to see you today!

I love the stained glass window in your dining room. I don’t think I saw it before. I always enjoy your pictures and blogs. Have a merry, merry Christmas. Say hi to the Queen for me!
Glad you’re done with your eye drops and that your surgery was successful. I love you.
