Something To Sea

This morning I drove to the steps
The beautiful steps by the sea
I listen to the waves crash
It's a wonderful song to me

The water is cold and blue
The air is crisp and bright
I love the way it feels
In the day and in the night

Sometimes I bring Gigi
Sometimes I bring Van
Sometimes it's just me
Alone in the sand

This place is Redondo Beach
A special place to me
A place I call home
A charming place by the sea

Man Crush

Dear Diary,
I love watching their bond grow.  Jeff and Van.  Father and son.  My 2 favorite guys in the world!

Josette's 14!

Dear Diary,
My baby is 14!  Everyone says time goes by so quickly... and it's true!  Josette is so many things.  She's beautiful, smart, kind, fun and creative.  Josette has always been our little pack leader.  She's an awesome daughter and a great example to her sisters and brother.  I love watching her grow and handle life's challenges with grace.  She's an amazing girl and I'm so proud to say she's mine.  I love you JoJo to the moon and back and back again!

Wine Tasting in Santa Ynez

Dear Diary,
We celebrated Sherry and Missy's birthdays wine tasting in Santa Ynez.  We played slots at Chumash Casino and visited Sunstone, Brander and Roblar Wineries.  We had the best dinner at Root 246 in Solvang, danced at Mavericks and caught up on all the happenings of our busy lives.  Couldn't ask for anything more... beautiful weather, big winnings, best friends and great memories.  Let's make it a tradition and do it again next year!
