JUST A DAY AT THE BEACH...













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.

  4. 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

  11. 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!

  12. My 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.
