Haven't posted in a bit. Nothing much new. Starting to gear up for the school year. So many transitions will have to be done. This will definitely be busy. Minor news, haven't had new glasses in.... oh 7 years or so. I really only needed them for driving, but lately, my eyes started to hurt if I drove for too long. Finally went to get them checked. My prescription went up a tiny bit and I decided on funkier frames for a newer look and here it is!

Con Familia

My uncle and aunt passed through this area last week. Haven't seen them in years, so we went to meet up with them in down town Seattle for dinner. Auntie Beth and Uncle Melvin John don't have grandkids yet so they were trying to lure our kids back to California with them. My son was getting bribed with promises of attending football and baseball games by my aunt. We had a blast, talked about growing up on the island and memories. My uncle was basically a teenager while I (and a lot of my cousins) were elementary school age. We laughed about all the stuff he and his age group made us do. Funny to talk about and remember, but thinking about it, kind of surprised I survived my childhood. I remember once him and my other uncle put me in a large towel and them holding both ends, swung me around and upside down using centripetal force to keep me in the towel. They got beat for that particular one.....


Heat wave break through

Last week had a heat wave. So, since Hubby was off of work, we all went to the beach together. Very rare that we would CHOOSE to go into the water in this area! Considering though the temperature got up to the lower 100's it was definitely time to do so.
