Above – Yard Art in a neighbor’s yard. The notion that dogs can’t read so maybe they can decipher hieroglyphics doesn’t make much sense to me.<\/em><\/p>\n

Below – After gymnastics and playing at the park, the kids got to greet Great Grandma outside the Bali Hai after she played bridge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then back at the house – Two hungry kids. Usually one of the first things we do when we get home is raid the refrigerator!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Brave ones forming a heart very close to the bluffs. I figured if someone was going to fall, I’d at least have my phone ready to capture it!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Ever wonder what it’s like taking these two boys grocery shopping? Here’s a glimpse.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Another outing with Daddy at Knowland Park Zoo in Oakland.<\/p>\n

\n

At the frozen yogurt shop next door to gymnastics.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Silly craziness. That’s what Amma’s are for, right?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Say cheese. (I have no idea what they’re doing with those credit cards …)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

If you ever need to know what time it is, you know who to ask! Ooops … Just a minor dressing faux pas. LOL!<\/p>\n

July begins a new chapter in my life. June 30 was the last day of working as an independent contractor for Pacific Medical Buildings. I began working there in 2004 as a full-time employee and then in May of 2015 I “retired” (whatever that means). After that I took my laptop home and began “virtual paralegal” duties for the company. I loved my job, and especially my boss and best friend since 1992, Evan Stone, who passed away two years ago of lung cancer. It was especially great working remotely in my home office with my little buddy, Bear, by my side. \u00a0I’ll still do work for some of my smaller clients and, of course, mostly for Kelly Enterprises, which is Bruce’s and my “other job,” and not to forget the nectar of life – being a grandparent!<\/p>\n

Maybe now I’ll be a little more consistent posting on my blog?<\/p>\n

On another note – I’m enjoying World Cup. There have been some GOOD games!! And no, I don’t miss playing. Being pain free is more important to me at this stage in my life.<\/p>\n

\n

I’ll leave you with a photo of the July family calendar page.<\/p>\n
