christmas wrap up

California Coast, according to phone pictures

the california coast: part one

isn't it breath taking? i think so... all of California coast is beautiful, but i think Pismo Beach is magnificent. it's basically where i grew up so i hold a special place for it in my heart... i miss terribly but have hopes that one day i (bear included) will move back.

Bear, my cousin Cory, myself, and of course Mr. Shento stood on the pier for what seemed like hours just watching the waves and surfers! it was incredibly peaceful, one of those moments you wish you could freeze time and hold onto forever.

a quick hello

Hello there.

These past two weeks have been magical.

we have visited with so many of my favorite people,

enjoyed the sunny California weather, and have eaten lots of yummy food.

I have a lot to share, but for now I am off to enjoy a big glass of egg nog

and an evening catching up with family.
