Catch up
I haven't posted in awhile. I've been on vacation and really just didn't want to hop on my PC if I didn't have to. I enjoyed just spending time with my family and not having to do too much.
Just to catch up: The family and I went to Coronado on Wednesday to enjoy the sun and the surf. It was a beautiful day and worth the long, long, long, long, long (ok you get the picture) walk to get to the water from the beginning of the sand (it's a wide beach). The sun was bright and warm and the water was equally exquisite. The waves were a bit flat, but that made for some good lesson time on surfing with Hannah. Mackenzie enjoyed staying in the break waters and riding the small breakers. Zoe had a great time eating sand and playing. The only draw back was the presence of black jellyfish. The waves break the slimy critters up and so you have a
bunch of tentacles left over dashing about the waves. Luckily, we didn't get stung... badly.
Thursday and Friday were back to work days. I spent most of the days catching up on unfinished business and then trying to get ready to leave on Sunday for Denver.
Saturday was Gay Pride Parade day in my little neighborhood. We left the area... to the beach of course. Something happened between Wednesday and Saturday. It got really cold at the beach. The sun was out but the water was cold. Don't ask me why, I did hear something about an upsurge. Still, all-in-all, it was a good day with the family.
It was good to be back in our church on Sunday, even if attendance was down. I so much enjoy what I do; I just have to remember at times that God is always in control, period. It was also a sad day for me. I had to say goodbye to Jane, a wonderful mother-in-law. She isn't leaving until Wednesday, but I left to go to Denver. I won't be back until Saturday. It was also sad because I've haven't been away from the family for this length of time in a long time. Over the course of this vacation, my kids got use to having me around 247. When I had to go back on Thursday, they sort of forgot and wondered what they'll do without me. That's a great feeling.
