I'm packing up my Christmas stuff, which increased dramatically this year. It's making me sad because we had such a great time. In fact, today I took a break because the end of a good Christmas is depressing and headed off to the beach with the dogs. When I moved to Ventura I said that life is going to happen no matter where I am, at least here there's better scenery. And today's sunset was fantastic, plus it was warm out, so the dogs and I enjoyed a cool afternoon by the ocean.
I found a big, old tooth while I was there. It almost seems to be stone, but has a middle. I also picked up some shells. I love strolling by the ocean and one of these days I'm going to put the stuff I collect together into something. Until then it just collects. I'm not sure what the point of it is, but someday, I'll figure it out.
It's also the time of year to start dieting, so I've been trying to cut down (actually, truth be told, it's only been a day or two.) But it's time to hunker down and eat fresh veggies, whole grains and lean meats. Last year I gave up drinking. This year I want to lose weight and get healthier.
Oh, I'm also posting pictures from the time I spent on nearby Lake Casitas with my daughters and their husband/boyfriend. We went fishing but caught nothing, which is fine with me.
