To my Valentine.
You have been my Valentine since we first met.
You make me smile when you need a smile. You make me laugh when I don't feel like laughing. You make me feel special when things aren't so special. You help me make the best out of every situation. You make me a better me. Happy Valentines Day L.B.

Monument Beach

We took a drive yesterday into Falmouth and went the long way home through the back roads in Bourne. The familiar sights look so different in the cluches of winter. It's all so beautiful. Believe it or not we missed this frigid Cape. I can't wait till spring.

It was a little chilly out but we were determined to visit the play ground in Onset. The slide was a big hit. Joseph spent lots of time with Memere and Pepere in Onset. The walks on the beach were the best.

RIDING THE WAVE

This week on the beach with Joseph, Danielle and Owen reminded me of how much I love the sea. The sounds, the sights, the smells and the feel of the sand and sun. It was what I needed right about now.
One of the books I read to Joseph on his sleep overs with Memere and Pepere was " Is there really a human race". He loves this book. It's a good view of how life is a race. I can relate to this. It just good to slow down the race and share the journey with those we love.
There will be another wave along soon to ride.

Life is good!

This was taken a week ago when the sun finally decided to show. Since then Joe has been reclining at the VA in West Roxbury. The doctors were perplexed that his heart passed all the tests. It's difficult to measure how big his heart is. No test can measure his love for giving to others. That's what he suffers from. His heart is unblemished by envy or greed. He is always there in times of desperate need. It pains him when he can't give as much as he wants. In tough times he suffers not for himself but for those he can't help. This is why I love my Joe. He makes me want to contribute in any way I can. No matter how small. With a smile or a hello or to hold the door open for someone. He has taugt me that it doesn't cost anything to be kind yet kindness does not mean weakness. In these difficult times we are all tested. I don't test well. Joe does. So I guess that's why we seem to always land on our feet. The yin and yang of it is what makes it interesting.

4TH OF JULY RIGHT COAST STYLE

Great day all around. Beautiful sunny weather and a day to celebrate. Hope you all had a super celebration. I know we did.

SUESUN

How blessed am I. Exactly one week ago coming to the Right coast to start a new adventure not knowing what to expect and already I'm in a comfortable, welcoming space. The sun hasn't made an appearance physically but Suesun has. She made sure the sunshine in our lives was present in our sweet abode. Familiar and precious photos, delicious foods and drink, keys and a sincere welcome home from Suesun. Life is good.
