It's gorgeous on the Northern California Coast today and all weekend it was clear and sunny, 70-80. Currently (at noon) it is 80 degrees and sunny with no wind. This weather calls for shorts, windows and doors open, and gardening, and most certainly a walk at the beach.
My brother and his wife just left after visiting for the weekend. We had a great time. Barney, their frisky Australian shepherd, always comes but is relegated to the back yard. We played pickle ball, I started to teach them mahjongg, we shopped at my favorite natural foods store, and of course broke bread and enjoyed red wine with dinners.
We also got to Face Time with my sons and their families who live in the Midwest. My grand daughter, Rosalie, has not met her great uncle and aunt yet. But thanks to technology, they got to say hello to her while my son Jesse gave her a bath. She is a very happy little girl and it was priceless to see her happy smiles. Everything they do at the age of 14 months is adorable (well, almost everything:) Waving bye bye, blowing kisses, meowing like a kitty cat, or barking like a doggie. Why do adults turn to baby talk? Because we want to relate with them. Sometimes I watch her videos from my phone for a long time, and talk to her, because I miss her so much.
We also got to Face Time with my other son and his wife, Ian and Tina. Life is too busy and we are all going in many different directions. But I am grateful we had family time across the miles. We got to talk about what is going on in their lives, and what we did here in California.
Family time is important and I am very grateful for my 3 sons, their wives, and my grand daughter!
Thank you, good night and God Bless! Aleta
