A moment to appreciate

Love all!

It's been a summer of hanging out, flopping about & enjoying those moments of complete freedom. We haven't been tied down to much and that's working for us just fine.

We have been hitting the courts lately.

Dan & I have been waiting for the moment that that 4 of us can play doubles!

And we're basking in this moment.

We're laughing at our killer hits & our silly misses.

I, too, feel that way on the courts sometimes!

Yes, Dear

What is "When your husband asks if you'd like him to make you a margarita."

In need for a Spring Break - Part 1 of 4 or 5 {depends on my mood!}

We aren't the only ones who get anxious for Spring Break, Poliwhirl does too.

While Poliwhirl gets us to & fro from here & there in town - stop & go, slow down to the red, speed up before it's yellow, sliding door opens & closes as kids jump in & out - day in & day out - reliable, dependable & well-used.
It tires of it.
It longs for the open road.
It purrs when it has the chance to hit the road less traveled.

Tiger purrs, too...when we get back home - and when he gets fed, for that matter.

We desire that open road, too - so we comply.

One {or 4} must keep Poliwhirl happy :)

Carrizo Plain

Mustn't look back...

Day 2 - must move forward!

Where have you been?!

I've sort of been in hiding lately.

I've been meaning to make an appearance to share with you our happenings and to reflect on these moments that are passing us by - certainly far from being unnoticed, but passing us by as time does.

I'm aware of the changes around us - I can feel it, smell it, even taste it.

I'm experiencing and absorbing the moments not wanting to take it all for granted and not wanting it to slip away without fanfare, whether it be huge or minute.

But I've been distracted lately...

I, the main author & chronocolizer of this blog, has been thoroughly immersed in Facebook. I once felt strongly about not being a part of that "my space" internet socializing but became intrigued when friends separated by a great distance were keeping in touch with the same bantering & giggling that we did when we lived in the same town. My curiosity was also peaked when another friend was reconnecting with friends she hadn't seen in years. Finally I took the plunge and I haven't turned back yet. It's been such a fun way to keep in touch and to get in touch. I am forever grateful to those dear friends who "forced" me to sign up! Unfortunately, even though my digital photo albums have multiplied ten-fold, my postings have been non-existence. The bright side of it is I have reconnected with manymany people. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I do realize that I need to continue to visit this blog/journal of mine. My intentions of it being for family and curious friends still holds dear to my heart, so dear family & friends who dare to visit here, I have not forgotten you [now if you were my facebook friend you'd know that ;) winkwink]
