Thank you. The bay was teeming with birds the other day
It was about 70 yesterday... I can say I'll take 70 over 80 any day
That's great! I have family down from Beaverton and they say it's HOT. I guess 80's is hot for the end of December :) I'm sure the coast is much nicer.
It is really lovely. Foggy tonight in MIssion, but we spent the day at the zoo and it was warm and wonderful
