Perhaps Love

Perhaps love is like a resting place A shelter from the storm It exists to give you comfort It is there to keep you warm And in those times of trouble When you are most alone The memory of love will bring you home. I Love You Honey!!

A Poem For My Friend

I don't have cancer....yet. Cancer is in my family though. My grandma, mom and older sister all had it. My two best friends lost their daughters to cancer. Locally, we have the opportunity to support cancer research with the Relay For Life . You can even donate through this website. And if you get a letter in the mail asking for donations to support a runner in the Team in Training marathons, give generously. Cancer is an enemy waiting to take your loved ones from you and it must be stopped. Support continued research with all your might. The life you save may be your own! This is a little poem I made up for my friend who is "traveling the path". 10 years ago tomorrow, she lost her oldest daughter, Amber, to cancer. Since then, she has written a book and supported cancer research by running marathons, donations of time and money, helping with Daffodil Days and many other Cancer related activities. You can find her blog HERE . Hop on over and leave her some words of enco

Kite Surfing At Oceano Beach

Sunday afternoon we went to the Beach looking for interesting things to photograph. The wind must have been blowing just right because there was at least a dozen Kite Surfers out enjoying the wind and water. After having a photography false start (I had my camera on Manual focus and everything was coming out blurred!!! ARRRGGHH!) we were able to get a few good pictures of these guys and gals. Look at the speed and determination.... we'll talk about the big smile later! There were people driving on the beach, playing in the surf looking for shells, kite surfing and people like us just spending some time enjoying everyone else. This is looking towards Pismo Pier. I count 7 kites in this picture and there were even more facing the other direction. This is how far up in the sky the kites fly. I don't know how they miss hitting each other or getting tangled up. You spend a fair amount of time in the water getting wet. Brrrrr! Doesn't this look like FUN??? Yup, it must be....

Here are a few of the things on my list so far: RV Camping Drive-In Movies Our Local Fair Impromptu Picnics Visiting Family Hwy. 1 Burgman ride to Monterey Blues Baseball Games Santa Maria Speedway Races Sycamore Hot Springs (Hot Tubs!) Trips to Avila Barn for Local Fresh Produce & Ice Cream Solvang Theaterfest (Les Miserables & Spitfire Grill) I'm just getting started and will be adding to this list over the next few days. Do you have Summer vacation plans yet?
