It's Official!!

We got the BEST news today!! I think we are beaming ear to ear! Our youngest daughter, Melody had an ultrasound today and they were able to detect the heartbeat! She started feeling pretty sick about the middle of September and suspected she might be pregnant. Her first appointment was 2 weeks ago but there wasn't a heartbeat so she had to come back today. Isn't it great to be able to peak in on a brand new life. Ummm, life is SO good! She is approximately 7 weeks and 5 days pregnant and her due date is May 23rd of next year.

Coffee T. Rice House

Isn't this a beautiful Victorian Style home? You can't see all of it because of the shrubbery and trailer park at the base of the house. It made me curious about the history of the house so I looked it up. Here is what I found. This is the historical information I found written  HERE . Coffee T. Rice House Oceano, California History and Description: Coffee T. Rice was a wealthy financier, with enterprises throughout the State, who migrated from Ohio to San Francisco. When a railroad was surveyed through this area he envisioned an industrial center here and acquired various properties close to the right of way. He introduced celery production to the area.

Remembering Loved Ones

Halloween...it's on the horizon. Stores are going all out with candy, costumes and decorations. Kids are practicing their very best, "Trick or Treats" and making costumes ready for the big night. Church's are organizing carnivals in an attempt to keep kids off the street and safe. My kids participated in Halloween until they were way to old to really get away with Trick or Treating and they loved every minute of it. Frankly, so did I! But now that they are grown, I've started a new tradition in my home. It's loosely based on El Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead. I spend October "re-membering."
