Movember Moustache

To support his Wellness Committee at work, Don is participating in Movember. During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the US and around the world. With their Mo’s, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. Don started Nov. 1st. This photo was taken Nov. 20th. 10 more days to go. Unfortunately, there are more white hairs than dark ones.

Visitor

Well, after having an open doggie door for the past year or two, something besides the dogs finally decided to use it - one of the Stellar (Blue) Jays that live in our neighborhood. We found it hiding behind the curtains. It didn't seem hurt, but our 3 chihuahuas went bonkers chasing after it. Don finally shooed it to the bathroom where he closed the door, took the screen off the window and let it fly back home. Happy ending.

31st Wedding Anniversary Excursion

Don and Michelle were married November 21, 1980 but due to schedules celebrated their 31st wedding anniversary Friday Nov. 11th with a trip to Seattle. It was a blustery and rainy day, and Michelle's travel umbrella was blown to pieces. The celebration started off with a trip to the Seattle Art Museum, followed by lunch at the Metropolitan Grill, then on to the Fremont district for a tour and sampling at Theo's Chocolate Factory. They then stopped at Southcenter Mall before heading to the Showare Center for a Disney on Ice show (Toy Story 3). It was a fun day.
