Back From CA

Santa Clara University was beautiful.   What a gorgeous campus, nice facilities and I met some nice "parents".   It was great to see my old friend Dori and her two kids Sophia & Grant.  Sophia was in the jacuzzi with her friend and I heard her say "Did you see the boy yet?"   Then she paused, took a deep breath and told her "He's sooo cute!"   Oh my God I wanted to die.   From then on she was completely enamored with Max.   Here's a photo of Max and Sophia at the beach in Santa Cruz.   Love you to all!

The Lily's are in Bloom

More and more blooms this year - so much rain has made things alive!!
I'm taking a lot of photos of my flowers this year since I know it will be the last year in this house.  A bitter sweet exercise in appreciation and gratitude.  

Time again for corn from the farm stand!

Happy 4th of July!!!

Not really.   Not really unhappy either.   I did get out on my mountain bike for the first time in a long long time and that was nice.   It was actually a very weird day.   Went to a great women's meeting this a.m.  but I ended up finding out things that I wish I didn't know about another person.   The weight of another's truth is heavy in my heart.  My good friend has a rough journey facing her in a failed marriage and my heart want's to help but it's not my journey.  She's been a rock to me in many many ways when she didn't even try to be anything but true to herself.   I'm also angry that some - that many -  people just can't be trusted.  

It's been quiet in my home without my kids around.   They are growing up and seem to be gone 85% of the time.   I better start getting use to it and figure out what I should be doing with my time since it seems I'm no longer a full time mom.  I miss my kids.  Uh oh.
