We are still in town, but tomorrow, Wednesday we will go back to Burbank, LA, there it is probably something warmer than here, and the next holiday is coming up; Christmas. We have had a great time here, attracted over many activities in a very few days. Our hosts have been wonderful, and we feel we have made the City and the Bay Area! The trip up to Sonoma / NAPA was great, where we celcbrited Thanksgiving, and it is actually the first time for us doing this in the U.S.. Yesterday accompanied Liecel & Matt as they would pick up a Christmas tree - it is really taken seriously! We found EMERALD FOREST, it sounds as if there is a forest, but there is a firm, located just off the 19'th Avenue. Here they sell pumpkins for Halloween, and now it Christmastrees apply. There are beautiful trees, and good service. We found a wonderful fine one, of course, and it suited the car, and when we came home was set on foot with water, and here Liecel and Matt keeps the tradition, we were served Norwegian Astute, and dinner, the tree was decorated with lights, (all of which worked), Christmas tree decorations came out. Here too it becomes more and more each year, Liecel makes some, but here there were embellishments of history. Last year, she and Matt made a movie about the Christmas tree. Elizabeth ensured that the new curtains were sewn to the kitchen and on the machine, SINGER, still in business, and Liecel got new curtains. Advent star is in place, so now you can say that Christmas is approaching? If you want snow here, they just take a trip up to Lake Tahoe, (they might do so during the Holidays).
En liten Irish Cofee på Buena Vista er noe man må ha med seg! Siste solnedgangen fra vår Suite på California Dette treet på Union Square er 80 fot høyt og 40 fot widt! Så var treet i hus - Liecel & Matt følger tradisjonen med "levende" juletre!
