This is about me being a mom, grammie and Laurie ... because life is a balance of holding on and letting go!

About Me

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!

"Our" First Tree - Christmas 2008

Gary and I had so much fun going out to pick this tree ... and decorating it. It's at his home so that his granddaughters coming can find their gifts underneath ... but we're enjoying it when we cuddle in front of the fireplace to watch a great movie on these cold days!

Wild Animal Park Trip














Another "great" day ... terrific day at the Wild Animal Park. A little overcast so all the animals were out. We fed the lorikeets and waundered around the park ... the WAGASA Bush Line that goes to the part of the park that the animals roam free is now a tram not on an electric rail ... but on a paved road. The cheetahs, lions and the other animals seem to enjoy the break in the weather ... they were right out front for us all to enjoy.

FRANCO is ONE YEAR OLD TODAY








Here's the birthday boy, Franco, and his mommie ... my sweet Leilani ... we went out to the mall in Escondido. Franco enjoyed flirting on the elevator with a little girl ... and Leilani and I enjoyed shopping at Ann Taylor ... they had a killer sale. Hey, Leilani did all the work a year ago ... and deserves a little something pretty! Happy Birthday Franco ... I love you and your mommie!
