Shannon came down to Drew’s in Sacramento for the Penn State vs Ohio State. We watched the game at Drew and Erin’s friends, Robbie and Megan. Guess who was their team!Even though we didn’t win that game, we were pleased that it wasn’t a blow out by Ohio.
After the game, Shan and I left for Nevada City for a few
Days. The sunset we saw on the way there.
On Sunday we took a 6-mile walk. Milo is still able to go along with us.
This is the new sliding glass door they put in their great room. It really opens up the space.
Plus, the new door opens up to their new patio and hot tub. We sure made use of that while I was there.
As we were leaving for Sacramento, it started to snow. We later learned that they got about 18 inches.
Shan and Carl left to have Thanksgiving with Carl’s family in Boston.

Drew and Erin made homemade fusili with sausage and a pistachio pesto for one of our meals. Yummy.
When Milo and Bandit and I were walking, I saw this palm tree with a cactus hugging it. And the cactus was blooming. I’m always so enthralled with the different flowering plants here.
Drew and Erin’s friends, Lorena and Boye, invited us for Thanksgiving with their family in their new house. Drew decided to make a rack of lamb. This was their first time to make this (mine, too). It was delicious.
Of course a trip to Drew’s wouldn’t be complete without a trip to some wineries! This was no exception. This time we visited Skinner and Turkey wineries. This is the view from Skinner. Unfortunately it wasn’t warm enough to sit outside.
Now it’s time for baking Christmas cookies.
It’s fun watching Drew and Erin cooking. They attempt so many unusual dishes that turn out so tasty.
Look who wants to know where his cookie is—Milo.
Saturday’s meal was Khachapuri, a Georgian meal. Drew has this when he visited cousin Joe in DC. I’m always impressed what food challenges Drew and Erin try.

What fun to try new things. It was delicious.
Next experience was a play in the BStreet Theater called On An Open Fire. A IChristmas Play with a lot of metaphors Then a beer at the Ruthskeller, almost like our own Rathskeller.
Next was dinner at Kodaiko Ramen Restaurant. I relearned how to use chopsticks. I think I’d be much skinnier if that’s all I used! The tonkatsu ramen was very challenging but they gave me a spoon. Again this was delicious, too. So much so, we are having dessert!
Here’s the macaron cheesecake ... oh my!
Even though it rained a lot Monday, Bandit and I were able to take a walk around the neighborhood.
When Drew and Erin got home, we went to the Sac City Brews for dinner, beer AND bingo to benefit a neighborhood school. What fun.
On the way home, we drove through the neighborhood to see the Christmas lights. Some of the places go all out.
