Hope you are having a nice weekend! Not much to report...quite dreary weather around here, but nothing like the big storm and blizzard predicted.... Dad headed out on his first trip to the snow this season, and mom and I decided to hang back, thinking that the big predicted blizzard was on its way...it never really materialized. And, dad reported nice snow, low wind... Oh well, next time. Anyway...always game to tag along with mom, we headed out on some errands...
Looking towards the Marin Headlands, SF Bay...3pm..storm light...flash on...
Watching the storm off in the distance and a lone cargo ship coming in...
We were checking out an old bunker just over the bridge on the SF side.
Some errands near the piers....there is actually someone swimming out there! Bright pink swim cap and all...
Mom had recently shared with Gus, Louie and Callie of Three Happy Heeler's, that visiting their site always reminds her of two of her dearest friends, rescued heeler, Boomerang, and his mom, Lynn. Lynn, with 'Boom' moved from our area to New Zealand a few years back.... Boomerang, a most wonderful buddy, accompanied Lynn and my mom on numerous camping and climbing trips and lots of local hikes. Boomerang is one of the smartest and most loyal pups mom knows. And, amazing eyes, one blue and one brown! Below, Boomerang sits on the deck at his new home...watching his mom closely as always...waiting for that next adventure.... 
My mom actually visited Boom, Lynn and their fabulous new location in 2006....the Marlborough Sounds, South Island, New Zealand.... An amazing place!
As Boom's mom Lynn, then worked at the Bay Of Many Coves Resort, Boomerang had a most amazing area to explore, swim, hike and play in every day! And, views views views!!
A photo while hiking along the Queen Charlotte Track with Lynnie and Boomerang...
Missing her friends dearly, mom hopes to visit again, as they are now living on the North Island! (She'd better take me along, right!?) Below...while still living here...Boom and (mom and dad's - now over the Rainbow Bridge) Golden Honey!
We will end here....and just say that this is a first holiday season for ME, and the first one (in 14 years) without mom and dad's Golden Honey. Remembering Honey every day and also sending our holiday wishes to Lynnie, Boom and all of our pals! 
There may be more on this later....as there were some pretty delicious smells around....so, this is what I thought of mom's hugs at the time.....ya know what I mean pals?
See ya again soon pals! Much love to all for this season!
