Holiday Doings

Here is a random accounting of some of the holiday fun we've been having.

We're heading into the Courthouse Sing in Quincy CA

Looking down from the 3rd floor balcony

Sara and Jeffery

Jeffery and the Bear

Dorothy loves the Christmas window at Forest Stationer

The characters in the window

The top of our Tree

Night view from the deck; you can just make out Rudolph flying away

Our tree

The National Hotel in Jackson CA, where we had a hot toddy and a bowl of chowder after our chilly wend through town.  

One of the pretty window displays

The hill above town was all decorated.  This is just part of it.  Jeffery drove his Mom and me around for our traditional Christmas Lights Tour, which we normally do in San Francisco.

Loved this window!

Here's a different view of it.

The jewelry store window display

The front doors of the National Hotel

Sparkly view

The front lobby

In Angel's Camp, we noted the plaques which were implanted every 10 feet or so, noting the winners of the Frog Jumping Contest.  Note this one is only 3 feet 9 inches; a world record at the time.

Ripple jumped way farther.  The frogs get 3 hops, and the highest total is the winner

This was the furthest jumper we saw, but it doesn't say World Record, so there must be a better frog somewhere

This bridge was bracketed by lovely trestles

This man played the ukulele!  (My yenta blood tried to arrange for him and Mom to get together)

The Amador County Museum.  It was really cool, but I didn't see much of it, as I got to gabbing happily with a historian

I've never seen a sewing machine like this one.

Jeffery and his Mom
Merry Christmas to you all.  Ho ho ho
