We love San Deigo! Stayed at a lovely bed and breakfast in the historic area. You have quite the talent for taking photos as well as your lovely finishes on your ornaments. Your eye for what you use in the finishing is really beyond compare. We have yet to have any snow here, but I was just mentioning that we haven't seen the sun for several days. We had such a lovely fall, it's hard to get used to the glum winter weather!

I love Monterey Bay area. Mostly because the fun seals and sea lions. I could watch the for days without getting bored. I loved your pictures! Thanks for sharing. Glad to hear your son is enjoying being there and you've already been able to visit. So sorry you'll have to be forced to go back hahaha. Love your two snowmen finishes. They are finished perfectly!

I've been to the Pacific Ocean in Cal. twice and find it interesting after growing up in Newfoundland, Canada on the Atlantic. What a great place to visit but like you, I think I would miss the seasons after awhile. And yes, here's hoping your country heals, unites and continues its great history.

Lucky you that you are up to date with this snowman challenge. I always find it difficult to stick to such a challenge although it sounds so easy to stitch and finish an ornament a month.<br />Great days that you could spend in San Diego. Not only did you see your son and his fiancée again but you could also visit some great places there. Thanks for sharing all these beautiful pictures. I have never been there but I have heard about the fantastic weather there. And these beaches seem to be just gorgeous. Coming home to some snow must have been very special, lol.Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922122091202289138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-15825270252909282372016-11-26T10:00:18.995-05:002016-11-26T10:00:18.995-05:00Your snowman finishes are lovely.

Now, where to start? First of all, how good is it to see your son in his new home? And what a gorgeous home, it is. San Diego sounds fabulous and his new job sound wonderful. I found that once I had been up to see my DS1 and DDIL in outback Roma, it made me feel much better about them being so far away. Lots of great photos - wonderful roses and the sunrise/sunset photos - just stunning! I am with you, I think that i would miss the seasons too much to live somewhere like San Diego or Hawaii or Queensland. Beautiful stitching on the last of your snowmen and thanks for the link to the beading tutorial, I am always looking for help with how to Finish ornies properly. hugs, Kaye xxxxKaisievichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466159839339896483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-78721250512643766982016-11-25T13:18:06.312-05:002016-11-25T13:18:06.312-05:00Great stitching Carol, love the birdie with the lo...Great stitching Carol, love the birdie with the long legs and what wonderful photos of amazing America, what a country with such contrasting states and beautiful views.

I have to say at that time I didn't miss the seasons, but I was a kid. I do remember making fun of the natives in their ski vests and jackets in low 60s weather. lol! I'm glad you had such a wonderful time there! Lovely pictures and a lovely time for sure! Love your stitching too! And amen to your sentiments about the election. Agreed!

And you’ve really inspired me to try a beaded edge finish. I’ve never done one yet, but you make it look easy even if you say it takes ages :)<br /><br />It was lovely seeing your California pictures, but I KNOW I would miss the four seasons. And it may be an unpopular opinion, but I truly LOVE wintertime and snow, so San Diego would not be my cup of tea.<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! <br />Emily in NEAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12804070295295742579noreply@blogger.com
