Remembrances of Christmas Past

Good morning! I hope all things are wonderful out there in the great unknown cyberspace. I am having a great day already and I haven't even had breakfast. Mel brought me all the way to.......Boise! Actually that is kind of nice. We were both so exhausted, that a long drive anywhere would have been counterproductive. So we are staying here by the river and it is soooo nice. I miss being in Boise where all the action is. I guess when it comes right down to it I am more of a city girl....or at least a suburb girl.
Today we are going present shopping for my birthday. I get an iphone! Yay! So that should be fun. Then we may do a little Christmas shopping. I love the stores downtown. They are old and smell right, like the Capwell's or Macy's in Oakland. We always shopped there when I was small. I also remember the City of Paris department store in San Francisco. They always brought in a huge Christmas tree and we would go over to see it each year, and also take a tour of Pedesta Beldocchi's. I'm sure I slaughtered the spelling on that. It was a florist that did a kind of festival of trees. The ornaments were fabulous and unique, and each year my mom would buy a new one. Her ornaments were unbelievable. The line to just walk through the florist's shop circled around a few blocks. It was something else! They moved the store now, and I don't think they do it quite the same. We went about 15 years ago, and it was disappointing.
Well, I know this is crazy to be blogging. Mel is still getting ready for the day, and the computer was just sitting here:) Hope you have a wonderful, fun-filled day! Take care! Melody
