Smiles From San Diego


I've seen as many cloudy days in San Diego as sunny ones this trip. It hasn't dappened our plans, though. Here we are in the Botanical Gardens. This plant speaks to me of this autumn season!
Mysterious!






We took Susanna to the pediatrican last Friday. She got a vaccine and we took her to IHOP afterwards (so that we would feel better.) This was a first for her. Pumpkin pancakes...yum!




We visited the ocean and enjoyed eating our lunch on the beach, watching the surfers. Today it's suppose to rain. We're heading for the zoo. Hopefully, we'll see the elephants this time!

    Ms. Susanna is a doll. The day I took Savannah for her shots, I took her shopping for a doll afterwards. She was too little to care, but it made me feel better. I get it!!

    Looks like you guys are having lots of special time rain or not. Hope you find the elephants, today.

    Blessings and prayers, andrea

    PS: Urgent prayer request on arise 2 write.

    How did the pumpkin pancakes go over? If she loves them, then somehow she & I are related (cuz I am a pumpkin nut). Beautiful pics!

A Memorial Day Reflection

  Memorial Day is always noteworthy for me and my girls.  Next Thursday marks the third year of missing their father, my husband. So many thoughts  run through my mind.  The journey of loss takes on various emotions.  The strongest feeling, at first, was emptiness.  In a split second, I would forget he departed forever.  I imagined things I needed to talk to him about when he got back home.  My mind is realistic now.  He's not coming back.  There will be no more times of sitting on the porch swing together on the front deck staring at the moon and the stars.  He would tell me all he knew about the majestic night sky. I have so much I wish I could tell him, like the excitement of seeing our oldest grandchild make a decision to follow Jesus and get baptized on Mother's Day!  And our little Amy, 11 years old, I wish he could have seen her on stage receiving her induction to the National Honor Society. Our daughters have their own ...

It's Not Always About the Tomatoes

I like to travel with buddies and rename them.  I vacationed in Costa Rica with Lupe who loves margaritas   and gets a little loopy.   I don’t drink but I’m a fun gal.  Just ask my co-worker, Frank.  I nicknamed him Jellyfish.  I packed my underwater camera.  Jellyfish can hold his breath really long.  He modeled for my underwater photo shoot in the colossal pool at the resort our company chose for us. I am fascinated with rain forests so my favorite thing to do in Costa Rica is to take walks in them.  I signed up for the tour of an organic cacao working farm.  Lupe chose it too.  A group of us piled into tractors to view crops of watermelon, mango, rice and cattle while we chewed on natural sugar cane, their largest product.  We observed monkeys, Toucans, and sloths. The best part of the tour for me taught about climate change and harvest time as we walked single file among papaya trees, cacao trees, as we...

A Christmas Card for You

Merry Christmas, friends!  I cherish every one of you.  Your friendship means so much to me and I know I am a blessed woman to be connected with so many wonderful men and women who inspire me throughout the year.  I look forward to the coming year with you   I wish for you that God will bless you, your family, your relationships, your work, and your gift of writing and lead you powerfully in the New Year.   This Scripture turned up in my reading this morning and I claim it for us in 2017.  As we draw close to Jesus today and in the coming year, may we see Him in one another! He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.’  John 7:38
