WonderWoman invited me to get a mani-pedi Monday morning.
So much pampering felt decadent, but I loved it. 
 Then she treated me to a fish taco at Wahoo's, yummy!
She also gave me a huge bag of clothes and shoes to go through.
I love getting these hand-me-down bags, I snagged some goodies!
The rest I will donate to Tustin Assistance League. 
WW does not procrastinate, so she checked on my
progress in getting the necessities for my upcoming trip. 



Did I get my power adapters for my laptop etc? No, not yet?
She pointed out the Best Buy, in sight, so I went there. Done.
Did I get my folding stool at REI? Not yet?
 She mentioned the REI in Tustin was on my way home.



I did, so that is now done!
I was on a roll! 
I went to Nordstrom Rack, and more.  



Maybe they had something I didn't know I needed?
They did. 
How was your Monday?









JB/ just because...



darling?












A smile for Tuesday ...

Once upon a time there were two crazy teenage superheroes.




They met in the gym, dated and the young Superman...

1994


 asked the young WonderWoman to marry, on her 21st birthday.


1995

8.26.1995

It's been a busy 24 years ... 
adding three young men to the equation.





WonderWoman, 3 Grandhunks and Superman, 2014

August 2015

Their sons have grown.
GH#1, 21, 6'5-1/2" college junior,
GH#2, 20, 6'3" college sophomore, and
GH#3, 18, 6'4-1/2" college freshman.
Good job parents! (The writer is admittedly biased)
 

November 2017
 
Now, twenty tfour years later and it seems to me ...
they are more in love than ever.

Proof that marriage & faith can be wonderful!

Happy 24th Anniversary!








On my last day at the house on the hill.

 



I am sitting at the high table on the patio with a beautiful view of the yard and beyond. We can see LA sometimes when it's really clear, after the winds. Seems there is always a breeze here.




The granddogs are so lucky.



Heck, we are all so lucky and blessed indeed!


Once or more times a day, Zoey gets supercharged, as if she has consumed a bowl-full of red bull. She tears around the yard in big ovals, at feriocious speeds. Laker is behind me laying on the cool



pavers, Zoey is out stalking prey. She tries to catch bugs or a fly and of course, eats anything. 




I just heard her chomping and looked over saying,"what are you eating?". She stopped chewing and looked at me with a eucalyptus leaf hanging out of her mouth, and an innocent look of "who me?".
Earlier today, we three were on the outdoor couch watchingTV.



when Zoey decided to nuzzle me?


It was appreciated.
 


She's funny.





I will be home Sunday afternoon.
Hope you had a great weekend too?






A smile for Monday ...

(Probably, no definitely tmi. But, it's all I've got.)



When at the house on the hill, my day revolves around 
my granddogs, Zoey, age 1-1/4 and Laker, age 8-1/4.
I mention the age because we are waiting for Zoey to 
get out of the puppy stage of digging up & tearing up. 
Not there yet.
All three Grandhunks were in and out today, there was
going to get gas, a haircut, all three worked out and
GH# 2&3 are at work now, GH#1 is at his girlfriend's.


I watched the Little League World Series this morning, 
to see Louisiana defeat powerhouse Hawaii 9-5. 



They play Curacau tomorrow, I will watch outside.*



 
More photos of Zoey because she likes the camera, 
she is a teenage girl after all.






There there is the daily sunset.
 
 
Saturday 7:30 pm
The sun goes down fast from here.
 
Saturday 7:32 pm 






















Quick Update: Day 3 of my tiny helper in my left ear.
So many things make noise, including me.
Zoey and Laker's nails click on the hardwood floors.
Zoey's collar has a jingle as she walks.
Air-conditioning at this house roars when it comes on.
New discoveries.
 




A smile for Sunday ...
