to stroll or not to stroll

taking a break from my lazy day by enjoying the sun by the pool

i strolled. lazy day. i really really needed to catch up on a few things so no gym today but i did walk to the beach for the Holiday Stroll in Riviera Village (downtown Redondo Beach). lots of families as always. i took a few photos, listened to some carolers, ate a christmas-tree shaped cookie before walking to Trader Joe's for some groceries. and then it was a short walk to that neighborhood with all the christmas lights. a few more photos, a video or two and then back home in time for The Office. that's my thursday. here is a photo from thursday a week ago. . .

more autumn colors from Kyuanji

and here are some holiday images from tonite:

how many times have i taken this photo?

Christmas Stroll

i left home around 430pm and returned from the beach, from the Christmas Stroll, from the neighborhood with the Christmas lights, from the grocery store at . . . 1030pm.  i am tired but i had a nice day.  i left a little later than i planned due to checking my mail on my way out.  i received a package from my sister.  one of the gifts in the package was a cd of French music.  as you may or may not know, my little sister and her husband are studying French up in Monterrey in preparation for their continuing "blessed" life adventure, they are moving to France.  so, i "imported" the cd into my iTunes and then "sync" it with my iPod so i could listen to it on my walk to the beach.  i love my iMac.  and the musique Franciase too.  Merci, mi imoto.
