Depending on her schedule. Stanford also has free shuttle buses from the East Bay over to the campus and medical center. Just a thought. https://transportation.stanford.edu/marguerite/eb And people she works with might have other suggestions, once she arrives. ☺️ Housing here is really expensive. 

 

She is moving from the Gold Coast in Chicago so she is used to high prices but this overly protective, nervous mom is not! I'm flying out with her about a week before she starts work so that will give us time to look around. Thanks.

My daughter is a travel nurse and starts a new contract on Jan 2. She will be in Palo Alto CA at Stanford Medical and there aren't very many Airbnb close to the hospital. Can any recommend any nice, safe cities that are near there? She doesn't have a car so she will be using Uber. Thanks!

How long is she staying there and what is her budget?

When my son and his wife did their Post-docs at Stanford, they had an apartment in Sunnyvale, not far from the Caltrain station.   From what I recall, that wasn’t a bad area.  I know housing is very expensive in that area.  She could expand her search, if she looks at areas that have train service.  That is probably less than Uber.  I think the train from Sunnyvale to Stanford is around $3-$4 for a 20 minute ride.

I'll tell her to look in Sunnyvale. It sounds familiar to me but we left the area 30 years ago. Thanks!

Daily elf sighting.  It appears the elf likes a nice beach vacation.

I am not sure who that is, trying to get some sun, but she is eyeing him up. 
 

Also had a Ricky sighting.

I tried to get Leonard to come outside & play in the snow for some pics but my Texas-imported feline would not have anything to do with snow or the 28 degree (feels like 23) weather. 

 

So instead, here he is waiting for the bathtub to fill up with water.  Don't cats hate water?

It may just be the name .The last time I was in a bathtub was 1967.

Thank you @aussielozzie18for your kind words 

I had my operation just over 2 hours ago at 10.45am UK time.

It is -2°C here and I had 4 inches of snow to clear off my car at 07.00am when I took Pauline to work.

Looking forward to you posting good results from your procedure.

We had snow here overnight.Toby was out early to clean off her car as she had to bring her car in for service.

It is 33 degrees here now but quite sunny.

⅕@Sea Dog Here is a sample of the 360 camera.   I was surprised how well the volume picked up.  This is zoomed in a lot so the quality could be better. 

 

 

This is cut from the same filming just framed a different area.

 

Oh my goodness....the way Kenzie kept backing up when she heard/saw Santa and then went into the other room...💕

I love Santa's southern accent 🙂 

I told Jim I'd never heard Santa talk with his Southern accent before!  😉

Sounds like y'all don't know where Santa is originally from. 😂

LOL, John!

All that worry about their travels, and look how they responded!!  I'm glad it's worked out for your trip!

I cannot recall if I shared Santa photos.  Santa and his elves passed thru 270 then the esplanade with a group playing trumpets.

Thank you for sharing all the holiday pictures on the ship, Debbie!  I'd love to go on a cruise during the Christmas Season!  How are you and Eric doing?

I sure hope you are feeling well after your operation today, Graham!

Best of luck to your daughter as she relocates to her new job in California!

He is so nice and fluffy.  Does he play with the water when the tub is full or just watch?

 

He's definitely bulking up for the cold weather, putting on a winter coat.  From certain angles, he looks like a little lion with his lion mane.

 

Mostly just watches the water but once in awhile will dip his paw into the water, then lick his paw.  He does the same with his water bowl occasionally, dipping his paw in & licking it. Repeatedly. Like 10-15 times.  I wonder if that's his way of showing distaste for tap water??  We have a community well that serves out little neighborhood of 80 homes.
