So - just so you know - it's not all studying and class time.
Rick is watching Monday night football right now at the club house here at our apartments. We don't have a TV, and it's a short walk. I'm making chicken soup to nurse my bad cold.
We take walks along the Sacramento River (see photo!) and, until my bike was stolen a month ago (sob) I would enjoy sunny bike rides with a friend.
Baking, knitting and reading awesome books are also part of my fun - along with sitting in the hot tub. We've enjoyed hiking in the mountains and visiting nearby towns, too. Here we are at 400 feet elevation and the air is thick. Our former home was at 8500 feet elevation, so that's quite a change for us. The roses are still blooming here, the days are in the 50s and 60s and mostly sunny and breezy. Redding is a pretty and clean town. The palm trees that decorate main street are covered in Christmas lights that wind up the trunk. They are so pretty. The grass is still green, and I understand if we have anything at Christmas, it will be heavy rain.
We miss our Colorado family and home and what we know will be a beautiful, white Christmas.
We won't be coming home, but our daughter, Bess, is coming for a week and we can't wait! We're going to see the California Redwoods while she's here, and maybe see Christmas lights in San Francisco.
Have a happy day! - Chris
