lucky

last week, chuck and our puppy owen went camping. they were off to find and photograph elusive sandhill cranes. i stayed home because of work. and i took some photos of good things right here...thanks to brilliant computer repair man, the dreadful virus i had is gone!

did you see the above book? could you spot the photo of mine in it? (it's the top sunset silhouette) when we returned home from our trip to big sur, it was there on our doorstep. i definitely jumped up and down a little. and seeing the birds in our marsh through my new camera is an almost spiritual experience, i feel blessedly lucky to own this.

i still can't believe my nineteen year old (she turned twenty over christmas), bought me an ipad for christmas. still in shock over that. my goodness. my son (newly away at university) sent a sticker home with his dad, for me, for my car, it says asu mom. he said 'i knew you'd like it mom.' he picked one with flowers on it. sigh. sigh. sigh. my kids.

this weekend, a good friend of mine is hosting a day long 'crafty day'. over a dozen ladies are invited to come, and bring whatever interests them, sewing, knitting, bookmaking, jewelry making are some of the things that will be made there. we can work on what we bring or learn something new.

and most exciting, my grandbabies are coming to spend the night! and we'll get to share the day together at the beach, watching chuck in a surf contest. i hope i can sleep tonight.

:)

have a great weekend too everyone,
