It is what seems like
just a few short years ago that
we were blessed with
our darling daughter, Tami.
In celebration
of her birthday
we took a day trip
to the beach.
"Yay!! Road Trip!"
An early morning journey
through the
California redwoods and
the coastal fog.
We had hoped that
Jake and Jacenda
would be able to join us,
but they are embarking on
a journey of their own.
They have moved to San Francisco
where Jacenda is starting
an intense two year program
at the
University of San Francisco
School of Nursing and Health Professions.
Jake is loving his job
at Kaiser and
this move puts him closer
to the airport
as he travels quite often for his job and
the rest of his work
is done from home.
It is hard to believe
that a year has passed
since the both of them graduated
from Santa Clara University.
They are both doing so well and
we are so proud
of them.
We took Tami and Tim
to dinner on the Santa Cruz wharf.
It seems that this is
becoming a tradition.
We had a wonderful meal,
good conversation and
great views...
...after dinner
a stroll on the wharf
with more wonderful sights...
Just every day life
in Santa Cruz!
We were blessed
when we lived in Santa Cruz
most of our young lives and
doubly blessed that we can return
to enjoy it again with
our beautiful family...
...and that we can
bring a bit of the beach
back to the mountains.
...Judy...
Happy Birthday, Tami.
Love you to the moon.

What a nice day trip! Those are just perfect. I always like coming back to my home and not having to sleep in a "strange" bed! I'm such a homebody! Love the photos.. the seal and her pup is adorable.. and love the pic of your daughter and husband. Good luck too to Jake and Lucinda.. sounds like they are real go-getters and you must be so very proud. I love the smells of the ocean and do miss that alot, although I didn't grow up there... but visited many times as a child. Just glad you got to spend time with your family. Hugs.. Marilyn

Belated Happy Birthday to your daughter Tami! What a great town with so many beautiful views! Love the baby seal laying on top of its Mom! It appeared lighter in color? Do they darken as they age! P.S. Your porch is beautiful and still strong!

ReplyDeleteMy friend convinced me and i had no choice than to follow my friend advice,because i never dreamed of loosing my lovely Husband. And i contacted_________Robinson.buckler@ { yahoo }. com, and i discussed with him all my problems and worries and so surprisingly,he told me that I’ll get my husband back a day after. I didn’t believed Him, until when i got home,the next day,my husband called me to inform me that he is coming back home…..So Amazing!! That’s how i got my back through spell casting and our relationship was stronger than ever. One of the price i was asked to pay was to tell it to the people around me that problems like this,can always be solved by Robinson Buckler So! my advice to you out there is to visit this same E-mail address,and tell him your problems too,if you are in any condition related to love issue or getting your ex back or and problem at all, pls Contact him and have a happy life.
