Safari is in the Air !

The time is getting near. WonderWoman and Superman are off to Kenya. It is an Eastside mission trip, ten planned days that I will probably be mentioning in this daily blog. They have had their yellow fever shots, and just now started their malaria antibiotic. I am so happy for them, they love to travel together, so I am betting there will be more mission trips in the future.

WW took me lunch at Hiro Sushi today. She was so hungry for sushi and knew there would be none on the trip. They have been planning this trip since early in the year. Their best friends, Tina and Larry are also going, so the planning has been even more fun for them. I have their itinerary and a day by day schedule. They leave tomorrow, as you read this, Saturday and fly to JFK-NY and on to Paris, then to Nairobi. Lots of hours in the air, but a great reward for their patience.

I will be at their home, with Zack aka GH#3 and my grand-dogs, Zoey and Duke. I won't be giving them their daily 3 mile run at 6 am that they are used to, 

Thursday am.

 but with an 84 year old Grandma, that's what you get. Lots of love, hugs and naps together. We'll make it!

Safe travels Superheroes, we'll miss You!

I got up late today, WW had made egg salad for me to make a sandwich on a pretzel bun, delicious. I went to the back yard and sat under an umbrella, I have to avoid the direct sun but enjoy the heat. While looking at the sky and plants, I thought I might "double dip" and share with you, a little tour of this part of their backyard?

this is my view of the sun through the umbrella

the sky was a magnificent blue and the trees shone.

the contrast of the plum tree with the blue sky, to me, was gorgeous

the primroses near the wind chime seem happy too

several sago palms

meanwhile, me and my bare feet enjoyed it all.

lap pool and jacuzzi

such a nice combination of plants, rocks and did you see the big jug?

and the newly planted Meyer lemon tree has fruit!

See you tomorrow.
