What I've Been Up To ...

I've been having fun and loving the beautiful San Diego weather!

Enjoying the beautiful view from my parent's patio

It is the perfect place to read.

Enjoying Dad's yummy dinners and dining al fresco on the patio

 Working on genealogy and scanning old family photos.

Love this one of my mom as a baby with her parents,

 and this is my great-great grandmother with her sisters.

 I've been to a few Padre games.

LOVE that stadium.

I also loved Bernie.

I didn't realize how much I needed to see

Jack Black dressed as Harold Hill 

singing "76 Trombones".

My life feels more complete now.

I've been hanging with this crazy girl.

I taught myself to crochet,

after watching a lot of

weird you tube videos

made by old woman with cats,

and am almost finished making enough granny squares

for a blanket.

Now,

I need to find someone who can teach me how to 

put them all together.

Back to you tube ...

I'm working at the San Diego Temple once a week.

I love being there,

and enjoy the peace and the focus that it brings.

My cute sister,

who really loves her dogs,

saved Snuggles from a coyote.

She was being attacked in our backyard

in the wee small hours of the morning.

We had a serious puppy ICU for a few weeks.

I spent more time

in an animal hospital

than I ever imagined I would.

Let it be known,

that in times of crisis,

I can find compassion in my heart for animals.

She's better,

and I am back to enjoying a puppy free zone.

This is the view from my bedroom window.

I love to sit on my bed and read,

study,

or watch Netflix

and enjoy listening to the

 wind blowing through the palm trees.

I think it is one of

my favorite sounds.

I have also spent a lot of time at the beach.

How could I not?!?!?

Hot sand,

cold diet coke,

and a good book

equals

the PERFECT afternoon.
