My photo
Boy have I needed to come up for air. And now that I'm breathing again, I love the fresh air and world around me. God is great ... and as one of his creatures ... I know I am worthy of love and life!

Pacific Islander Festival 2008

Another great Pacific Islander Festival ... and this was my grandson, Franco's 1st ... he loved seeing all the hula dancers and hearing the island sounds of the drums and music. Leilani came with Hermann, his mom, friends and other family members ... and I was there with my Gary ... who was also experiencing the Festival for the first time. He's photographed here looking on as we pose for a little family photo and is enjoying his first "shave ice"! Hope to see you at PIFA in 2009!

Labor Day Weekend with my Two Men & Gorgeous Daughter

It doesn't get any better than this ... a day with the two men in my life, Gary and Franco, and with my gorgeous daughter, Leilani and her sweetheart, Hermann ... what a fabulous day! Sun was shining and nature was in it's glory and we were all together at San Dieguito Park ... Hermann (Francos' papa) and his family invited Gary and I to spend the day with them ... delicious tamales, carne asada ... and all the trimmings ... Great volleyball game and two families coming together!
We had a totally wonderful time! And look how cute they are!
