PS I didn't mean to do that....

OK--I didn't mean for Senator Obama's pic to be up at the top of my last posting. Obviously, I need some practice at this blogging thing. Now for a picture of the New Zealand branch of the family.....but come to think of it, he (Barack) looks like he could be part of our family....anyway, aren't they gorgeous??

Wow--when I said sporadic, I didn't even realize how prophetic that would be. So much has happened in the past few months....I lost my big brother...I miss him lots and lots....I am grateful I got to spend the last days of his life with him.... that's us a few years ago...I was 10 and he was 15...he had that "California Surfer Guy" thing going on back then!

So, I got home from California and broke my foot, had foot surgery, and lately work has been a real challenge. I got baptized on May 17th; Jenna, Anthony & Alyssa came for the occasion, as well as my friend Tammy. A very special day.

I am so pleased that Barack Obama is our Democratic nominee for President. Oddly enough, even though I have supported Obama since before the caucus, I found myself shedding a few tears for/about Hillary Clinton. Please God, let the Democrats win....enough is enough!

I have a new grandson, Josiah, who I haven't been able to even hold yet. He and his mom & brother are coming in August for an extended visit. As always, I have to share them, but it will be good to be able to hug & kiss all of them in person (Look out Nish!)

Here we go!

And another adventure begins! I am joining others in my family who have already entered the blogging world. I've also read fascinating blogs by other folks who write about their passions. My blog will a much simpler, and probably somewhat more sporadic thing than others I have read. My intentions are good, but I am often distracted by one of my many interests.....

I have a page on Myspace (coached by my very handsome techno wizard grandson, Anthony!) and I have one on Eons (for the over-50 crowd).

I live within walking distance of the Pacific Ocean. A dream come true!
