After our family reunuion in San Fran, we drove on to Yosemite and spent 3 days and four nights in that enchanting place.
I’ve been slow to post on it, (even tho while we were there I could think of nothing less than how much I wanted to) because I wanted to do so with photos […]

So tonight I’m reading books to my three kids just before dinner time. Ella picked a Bible book that had short stories and a question at the end of each one. After the story of Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethlehem it asks the question: Pretend you are going on a journey and […]

Thanks to Mike’s post commenting on the 10 commandments of web design, I have decided I can keep commandment number 1 that is “Thou Shalt Have Purpose”. And as Mike comments: Think about a blog.

I believe I have now reached Grecian Goddess status, and stature (!!). Ahem. Yes, much like the statue […]

 
Us, at Golden Gate. It’s a beautiful bridge.

Almost all the cousins. (missing Desi and Dean)

Us, on Alcatraz island with the San Fran skyline in the background. The kids on the audio tour in front of a cell. Kiddos and Darren in front of the ferry “Respect” that took us across the bay to the island.

Soooooo TODAY. Today was a good day. I got to go for a wonderful run with my trusty IPOD, in a beautiful park adjacent our hotel that has the most beautiful trees.
