January used to be a month of darkness and gloom. Now I am just grateful to have the time to hibernate, yes, but also to get out in the short sun. Last weekend we went to Santa Cruz, to Steamer Lane, to see the high surf. It was actually Homer's trip. Here are the photos:
Things I have done so far in January 2006: bottled wine, lunch at Stanford, played bridge, went to book club, Chinatown in San Francisco, planted primroses

Sunday I go to Texas for my Mom's 85th and a minireunion with sister and cousin. And then to Houston for the Rice Alumni Board meeting and a visit with Karen.
