Okay, so I didn't go to bed yet.

I forgot I had a photo upload running in the background. While I was over tonight, I downloaded the last pictures Dad took from his camera to my computer. I'm afraid I just popped them up to Flickr unedited since I am fairly tired, but they are up. They were taken on the 19th - two days before he died - when it was very frosty (and fairly pretty) up at their house. (I also have a bunch of photos he took that may never have been uploaded - he uploaded far less than he took, and at least some of that was because of only having dial-up - but those are on CDs and are fairly extensive and I will have to actually go over them in more detail - another item for later - before uploading.) Once again, I am too lazy to put in the small photos as links, so just the links to the ones I uploaded tonight:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyrielle/332484032/ - first three are the vineyard north of the house, which Dad had intended to photograph once a week for the entirety of 2007, to show how it changes over the year. (He considered every day, but that would be a lot of photos to upload and it does not change so much day to day, so he discarded that idea.) I'm sorry he won't get to do it; it would have been neat.

Now I will go fall over gobed.

Oh lady...that's what I get for not checking stuff for a while.

Here's the biggest hug I can possibly give, and all my love. I'm sorry I wasn't there so much earlier...

*HUGS*

*HUGS* No worries. See, now I get hugs from you when I need them, because it's Christmas and I miss them and I love them. Going to spend at least the afternoon, maybe evening, with Scott's aunt and uncle.

Vineyards

I love the vineyards. I am a native Californian, born and raised in Napa, so they remind me of home.

All the pictures are really wonderful.

Aren't they lovely?

I find it a bit hard to look at icy-like things right now, but they're still pretty.

I can understand that.

Take care, I am glad you have such wonderful memories. They will be with you forever.

I lost my parents long ago, but I am thankful for having all the wonderful memories.
