Fact: Clement Moore’s poem introduced eight more reindeer for Santa’s sleigh, and their names were Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Duner and Blixem (for the German words for thunder and lightning).\u00a0 <\/strong>These later evolved into Donner and Blitzen.<\/em><\/p>\n

We were up and getting ready to traverse the highways at 10:00 AM; Orange to Camarillo, 90 minutes of terrifying traffic!\u00a0 We were off to visit Mary’s grandkids.\u00a0 We also had to take the van because dum dum me forgot the change the address on a few Amazon orders to Dianne, and the kids had a potting table, three garden shears, two rolls of see-through paper, and other goodies.\u00a0 It was a good excuse to visit them!<\/p>\n

55 to 22 to 5 to 101<\/p><\/div>\n

We had lunch at the Lure restaurant; excellent food!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Fun with family!<\/p><\/div>\n

At the end of lunch, Steven popped in and joined us!\u00a0 We got all the details about his college application activities; the boy is doing good!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Steven was a bit late, but we got to visit him!<\/p><\/div>\n

We went back to their house and loaded the van with all the goodies that I had accidentally sent them.\u00a0 We pointed the Grey Ghost towards home, and off we went.\u00a0 This time we went to the 405 and caught the 22, making it home just before sunset.<\/p>\n

I noticed that the sizing tool had been delivered to Amy.\u00a0 We had a deal with Amy; Amy was to wear it as a necklace to see if Joe would notice.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Joe learns to be observant!<\/p><\/div>\n

It really did look like a lovely necklace, and of course, Joe DID NOT notice.\u00a0 Well, Amy put it back on, and Joe went up close and looked.\u00a0 Here is what he saw up close!!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Each “bead” is a male\/female screw\/nut of different sizes, both SAE and Metric.\u00a0 Handy to have around when replacing hardware.<\/p><\/div>\n

It looked like jewelry from afar!<\/p>\n

\"\"

I sent jewelry to Joe and Zack!\u00a0 Do YOU know what it is?<\/p><\/div>\n

We had a good laugh at Joe, but Joe reminded us that he does get even!\u00a0 Oh, dear!<\/p>\n

Scout showed us his Christmas Cards and now he wants us to address them1<\/p>\n

\"\"

Spoiled, you ask; the answer is a resounding YES!!!<\/p><\/div>\n

We watched a Christmas movie and had a lite dinner before going to bed at 6:30 PM; even though we sat all day, we were both tired.\u00a0 180-mile round trip on the free is tiring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
