Gold In Them Thar Hills !!



Phewwww...this is a busy time of year !!! So very fun, but too little time in the day. Sunday was a relative day of rest. We had a leisurely waffle breakfast then headed off to Coloma for a 1849 California Christmas celebration. Coloma is a very tiny town and State Park about 20 miles from us down on the South Fork of the American River. It is the site were James Marshall discovered gold in California and started the massive Gold Rush. It's a beautiful setting and always a pleasant day to go there. This Sunday, however, we were there so Jim could play with The Dry Creek Rounders who were providing wonderful entertainment for all the visitors. The band is so good, so fun to listen to and , of course, such awesome people that it's always fun to hang out in their sphere !
I've been looking at a lot of houses with Molly,but so far everyone that she's interested in is sold before she can get in an offer ! We saw a cute possibility this afternoon and now she can't get ahold of her realtor to check out the interior. Sooner or later the right combination will come along, but it sure is frustrating !!
The weather is staying very un-Xmas like. Cold up here , but sunny and warm in the valley and the prospect for a white Xmas this year looks bleak ! Maybe the weather is why I'm having trouble organizing myself ......baking, shopping , gift wrapping , etc, .......this year. I'll just panic next week and power through it all !
