The Meneses Spot

Semi-Random Question of the Month

Here it is, last day of the month! The question will not live up to the anticipation that led up to it, but this is what I came up with.

If you were given an award this year, what award would it be

and why would you be receiving it?

Christmas Pictures

Hey Everybody! I'm looking for Christmas pictures to put up here on the blog. Unfortunately, my USB cable is somewhere with my camcorder (hopefully Terra Bella). Anyway, since I can't access my photos just yet I would appreciate if anyone would email me photos. Otherwise I'll scour everyone's facebook pages and steal some that way. Also I believe Greg and John are working on the video, that should be cool to see.
Happy New Year everybody!
Oh yeah, East Coasters send me pics too! Or post them yourself either way we would love to see them here.

there can be only one!

DVD/CD Exchange

We are planning on having the usual game/exchange at Aunt Elvia's house on christmas eve. Anyone who wants to participate needs to bring a wrapped DVD or CD to play. And no Doug, you cannot bring killer clowns from outerspace back!!! See you all there, and don't forget, Mrs and Mr Claus are planning their appearance for 8 o'clock.

Not So Random Question of the Month

We haven't had a random question of the month for December yet, I thought somebody would post one by now. I, personally, hadn't been able to think of one in the small amount of time I've been online. However, it was easy to think up this not so random, not so original question:

What is one of your favorite Christmas memories?

PreSchool Christmas Program

jack and sofia enjoyed a night on the stage for their christmas program. Who would've guessed that Jack would be the best behaved? Sofia made an adorable angel, and Jack was a suberb sheperd. Enjoy!

Ladies, reminder

Hello just a reminder that all the ladies are invited in to the Mother/Daughter Christmas Tea this Sunday (the 13th), 3 pm at Connie's. Please give her a call if you are able to come!

December Question

It's a little bit cold in December for many of our favorite activities. I mean it's hard to go up to the river to fish when there's snow on the road, I guess we could start ice fishing. With that in mind, I thought I'd ask people what is their favorite December activity? Indoors or Outdoors?

Christmas Eve

My apologies to one and all, since we normally celebrate on Christmas Eve I took it for grant it that we would just continue with the tradition. So yes, you are all invited to come and celebrate Christmas Eve, December 24, 2009 at my house.(Elvia Grimsley, 16284 Ave 172, Tulare CA)
That's 1/2 north and 1/2 west of Woodville(559-784-2747) from 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Time is not set in stone and we are very flexible so relax and just come and enjoy each other.

Pot luck please, South of the Boarder sound good, but I thought we could all just bring simple food. We have all changed our eating habits and there is always so much left there is never room in my refrigerator. I don't know if there will be tamales, but I'll make salsa for them. Here's a list; Appetizer, Vegetable tray, Fruit tray, Chips & dips, Chicken wings, (we'll put salsa and make them Mexican), Egg rolls, (add salsa and they come from South of the Boarder) Christmas Cookies, Christmas candy etc. I hope you get the idea. I'll provide coffee, tea, and water if you want sodas you can bring what you want and take home what's left. I'll have paper plates, napkins, plastic utensils. Susan do you need pickles and ice cream? Let me know I'll make sure to have some on hand:) If you have any question call and let me know. Also I'll see if Santa and Mrs. can come between 7:30-8:00p.m. Elvia

Keeping in Meneses Tradition

It seems we will be keeping with what seems a growing tradition. Our first will be a BOY!!!

Elias and Susan

Happy Thanksgiving Thread

Hey everybody, just in case you wanted to send Thanksgiving holiday wishes, or share what you're thankful for I thought I'd post a little blurb here. I hope you all enjoy your holiday. Eat lots of good food and drive safely. I'm also hoping to get a picture of Susan's pecan pie.
I'm thankful to everyone out there who have kept visiting and sharing here on the Meneses blog for 5 years now. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

First Cafe Press Update

Alli asked for it, so I went out and added a new design to the Meneses Spot Shop. It's also available on t-shirts of different colors and sizes. I'm working on a couple of different ones to add in time for Christmas. Hope you enjoy 'em and I'm always open to suggestions.
Alli, hurry up and make that CD for Doug!!

What you would see diving with me at the point!

So heres a bunch of stuff that you would see if you were to go diving with me at the casino point! Huge schools of fish in kelp bed that reach to the surface. Lobsters hiding in cracks or crawling out in the open at night (which was a fun diving experience for me). Scenic shots of fish swimming above the kelp by the surface. Sea bass swimming all over the place. They love to come right up to you and give you a look. You would also see larger fish swimming around. Sea bass can get about as big as a v.w. bug. sorry for taking up so much room with these pics but i hope you enjoy them!
