i have a blog because if i tried to talk to you you probably wouldn't hear me. i woke up with no voice this morning. still pretty snotty too. oh well. dad and maria took parker and ME out to breakfast and then we went to the japanese gardens. parker loved the turtles and KOI in the pond and it was really beautiful to see the leaves changing colors. yes it's winter in california folks: 70 degrees and clear!
