We had some good times in August. Not that you would know... We went to see Rosie in Chico. We visited Monterey. We went camping at the Ice House Resovoir. My favorite part was visitingmy Poppy and Aunt Carol in Santa Maria.




Always a little bittersweet, but always good.

Jack really took to Poppy. He was a big fan.

Wonderful pictures of the children with their great grandpa Paulson. He looks equally smitten with Jack. Poppy looks to be in fairly good health.

In September, we were gifted a wonderful stay at a fellow pastor's vacation home- a lovely little pink house with shells everywhere and two huge rooms just perfect for all of us.  We were just a walk away from the white sands and calm, clear ocean, and we spent more time than my pale and sand-hating husband understood, but it was just lovely.  I have pictures on my phone, but I only pulled out my big camera for these few on the first day.









It had a fenced yard for the dog, a golf cart to drive us the two blocks beachward and lots and lots of shells and quality family time.  This was the trip that we watched Knight Rider together, so that's notable.
