Week 51

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance. 

~ Eckhart Tolle

This week I got in a few walks in between the rain. We celebrated Christmas Eve with the 4T's, had our favorite neighbors over for cocktails, and watched the Golden State Warriors beat the Memphis Grizzlies on Christmas Day. 

It was a little too quiet but also nice.

Happy Solstice, Happy Winter, Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays. 

A Great Egret that let me get this close and didn't fly away.

Always look up. My favorite kind of sky.

This Egret again, the next day. He flew away this time.

Christmas morning and all my snow...beings.

Our little Christmas tree for our little house.

Family Lego session before dessert which was Dr. CynCyn's famous Mixed Berry Crisp.

Inspired by my Christmas cards, I played around on my iPad.

Week 45

"We need joy as we need air.

We need love as we need water.

We need each other as we need 

the earth we share."

Such a busy and fun week with the Diaz Family home. It's been a long four years since they were here last. The cousins had a blast together, we celebrated Melissa's birthday with dinner at El Tap + a pumpkin cheesecake, and we were invited to a 49er game where we got to watch our son-in-law parachute into the stadium with the Army Black Knights. 

Yes, I did!

All together!

Little pilots. We took a trip to the Oakland Aviation Museum. 

Mini-Air Traffic control tower.

Cousin buddies.

Joy = All four of my grandchildren together.

Blurry and beautiful!

Another blurry one, but so adorable.

Devin nailed it!

Perfect 50-yard line landing.
