JOY

Although I had to work and didn’t get to spend time with the grandkids, I experienced great JOY to have these pictures texted to me.

Bruce & Maya at the beach.

& yesterday afternoon, Bruce had Alo.

When I got home from work, I sat with Alo for a little while. He was doing some “tummy time” on my lap and before I knew it, he had scooted & pushed with his feet and legs until he was completely off my lap. I patted his little bottom lightly and the next thing I knew, he passed out.

So precious, and we are so blessed to have these little people in our lives.

More Maya at the beach last week

That long strip of piled sand they build to keep the surf where it belongs isn’t just for looks …

On the grass near the south beach parking lot…

Having fun is what being a kid is all about!

Alo & the Super Bowl; Maya & the Beach

Robb & Alo came over and watched the second half of the Super Bowl with us yesterday, and Alo proved that he does, indeed, contrary to my attempts, take his mom’s milk from a bottle.

He sucked that thing down. I think the trick is that he has to be really hungry – really REALLY hungry.

There’s not much to say about the Super Bowl except I figured Denver would win, and none of my squares won, which means the grandkids were losers. I think the game was over at that first-play safety. Pitiful.

Here’s Maya and Papa at the beach last Friday.

We’ll have our hands full, as well as a lot of fun, when Alo is a little older!

Parallels

While I was heading out the door to take the dogs for a walk this morning, my friend, Lynn, in North Carolina texted me that she was heading out to walk her dogs, and sent these pictures.

It’s not as cold here, but the sky as I headed up and over the hill was beautiful! I wonder if the people in North Carolina know that trees are supposed to have leaves on them???

Friday with Alo and Maya …

Alo was being a little fussy …

Annie wanted to play too. Ok, well, really… she wanted the toy.

I guess I got busy yesterday and by the time I thought to blog, it was too late.

Lots with a view

I paid a visit yesterday to my long ago passed relatives. It was a little hazy, but still a beautiful morning for a solitude drive to the point. It had been so long since I visited Grandma and Grandpa that I had to stop at the office to do a search and get a map. I can’t believe it’s been thirty years… Their site is so beautiful, I should really go to visit more often.

The plot is to the far right near the big tree. You can see a small bouquet of (plastic) flowers… it’s just in front and to the left of that.

If I could come up with one word for them, I believe it would be “GENEROUS.”

Then off to visit Jon, but first I had to find him. I ended up going back to the office to take another look at the map. I bet it’s been since before Billi died that anyone has gone to visit him. He, too, has a great view, only his is of SD Bay, North Island, downtown and to the east.

I had to take a closeup of this really cool, huge sailboat. What the picture doesn’t show is that it looked as though there were a LOT of people on it. Next time, I’ll bring the telescopic lens and hope for a clearer day.

Well, I’m back at work today after having four days off. My usual work week – three days on, four days off. It might sound like a vacation, but I really do spend a lot of time working at the computer on work related projects, Billi Trust related projects and property management for Cape May, not to mention teaching five yoga classes a week & a Friday afternoon babysitting (complete with baby yoga) gig.

Yesterday proved to be a victory over a final detail of getting a “troubled” tenant to move out by January 31! General Release is now signed by both tenants of the unit. Heavy sigh …

Tomorrow – baby picture(s).

Long walk = great photos

Yesterday I took a long walk from the house to the end of Sunset Cliffs, to OB & walked along the pier & back up the hill. It was a perfect time & perfect conditions for some great photos.

All these photos we’re taken on my iPhone.

Tragedy at Sunset Cliffs

… or was it mere stupidity?

Last Sunday morning as I worked in my home office I heard sirens. Lots of sirens. Not unusual in OB on a day the Chargers would be playing their 2nd game of the post season. First time in … how many years???

But the next day I heard on the radio that a young woman from Chicago fell to her death off Sunset Cliffs while backing up so her sister could take her picture.

Yesterday on our regular Thursday morning drive along the cliffs, we saw the spot where the incident occurred. I, of course, had to get out of the car and take a picture. There’s something seriously wrong here.
