Stained Glass Blue Monday

 It is time for BLUE MONDAY!!

I am back again after I don't know how long for Blue Monday.
Today I have Stained Glass Rhapsody in Blue.
 My cousin made these for my aunt and uncle.
They have them hanging in a window that does not have a curtain.

 They hang in the same window side by side.
We were at their house the day after Christmas to celebrate the marriage of my cousin and his new wife.
They had gotten married in July and came to California for a reception to celebrate with California family and  friends.
When we went I already had one cataract surgery but the other yet. So driving at night was still uncomfortable for me. My niece and nephew are both driving now and I had planned to have one of the drive us all home. So how do I choose which one to drive home. 
Solution: I had the niece drive us there and the nephew drive us home. They both did well, but did give them driving advice like which lane to be in and keep a comfortable distance from the car in front of us.
The above picture I took on the way home coming down a steep hill looking over the San Francisco Bay. If you look carefully in the distance, you can see the Golden Gate Bridge.


Happy Blue Monday!
