Memorial Day weekend

We are at the "official" start of summertime. Only it is feeling a little more like going into fall. Kinda been a little chilly out. Foggy in the morning, sometimes letting up. And other days not so much.
Yesterday, we took Lucy and a fried chicken deli picnic to the beach. Awesome day. The clouds opened up for us and it was gorgeous. Thank you cloud Gods! I was needing a good Sun day.. Funny it was actually Sunday too :)

Other than that, this past month has brought us a few welcomed, and surprised visitors.
My nephew Dante surprised us. Great time visiting him. He flew down to Utah from Alaska bought a car drove from Utah to visit. Super cool. And drove all the way back, not taking any ferry short cuts! Very cool, and wow! That really means he's grown up. Time just flys.

My sister-n-law Geri also made a surprise visit. We had such a good relaxing visit with her. It was short, but good.  Wish it was longer. Took her to a couple wineries and for a good breakfast/lunch of chicken and waffles. We all had a good visit.

Then Mother's Day Lourdes surprised us with a overnight visit. We all took her to Brasa, this brasilian restaurant in town. Real good, super filling food.. Actually overload of food.

Update on home-front...

Erin's knee is slowly but surly healing..it's taken a few rounds of physical therapy and exercise. But, he's getting better. Love him❤️

He's put up new ceiling fans in all the rooms. Getting ready for when summer really hits. (Hopefully soon)

We are considering a remodel, we would like our kitchen and baths done. So we're gathering lots of quotes. Ugh. Don't thing we'll ever afford life. We'll see on that. And I will keep updates. This will definitely be awhile.

I'm liking my job. Low stress.. No complaints here.

Our birthdays have come and gone. Our 22nd wedding anniversary is on the 29th. 💜

Memorial Day weekend is at its end today. We planted plants, worked around here. Ran over to the coast..visited with friends. We could always use one more down day. But, grateful for the time we had. And it was off together.


Quote I found, thought I'd share:

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow."
