I realize, and have heard from some of you, that I have been remiss in posting regularly to this little blog outpost of mine. I apologize. What can I say… the whirlwind of life sometimes takes over and before I know it a month or so has gone by. This phenomenon happens most especially when we are busy busy. Which, for those of you who actually know us, is the case for us in the last three or four months. Building an addition onto your house will do that.
So… we are almost done with the addition. Trim work to finish and we will be done. Kev is taking care of that for us so we’re looking like it could be completed shortly. Yes!
Currently we’re in San Jose visiting Karen’s family. I’m sitting in her parent’s living room as I type. It’s beautiful here right now. Warm and sunny. It was humid earlier today when we walked to Starbucks to get our customary chai and latte. We are in the habit of walking to the nearest Starbucks here every morning. Kind of a nice way to start our day… with a walk, a chat, and a cup of something tasty.
Tomorrow we are heading into San Francisco to meet friends and hang out for a couple of days before returning here on Sunday for another half a day of hanging out with the fam before heading back home on Monday. Should be fun, on both counts.
Right now I’m being driven mad by the tasty smell of roasting turkey and the fixings. It’s not Thanksgiving, but I’m thankful.
Oh, and for those wondering… the photo shoot the other day, my first paying gig, went well. At least, I feel like, given it was my first time, it went well. I was happy with the photos. Not too bad a deal… shooting for an hour, coming home and putting on the headphones, and working on the photos while listening to music. Life was and is, really good. I loved it. Made me very happy.
Right now eating some turkey is going to make me very happy. Yum.





















Is it hot or cold there in San Jose?
“The Family is the Country of the heart. There is an angel in the Family who, by the mysterious influence of grace, of sweetness, and of love, renders the fulfilment of duties less wearisome, sorrows less bitter. The only pure joys unmixed with sadness”
