My baby is going to school for the first time after 6 years of homeschooling. I don't know if I'm ready for it.

Why Bother?

I guess when you can't see out the windows anymore, it's time.

Life is mostly froth and bubble, Two things stand like stone,
Kindness in another's trouble, Courage in your own.

Baseball

We went to see our local baseball team play tonight... The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes.





Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.

My Dad

It is so difficult to believe it has been two years. Why is it that it feels like no time has passed at all. At times I can still feel the horrible knot in my stomach that I felt when I first got the call. The shock. The disbelief. The feeling of "someone make this all go away because I can't deal with the pain". Sometimes I still think I can't deal with the pain. I did need to post a couple of photos of him today to remember who he was. We may not have had the best of relationships, but I did love him.



And here is the photo I took today. I woke up to a gorgeous sunrise so before I ran I grabbed my camera and drove to the base of the mountains to capture it before it left.

Name This Bird Contest

Actually, there is no prize, but I am very curious. He was sitting in our palm tree (yes, the ugly one) bright and early this morning. This was the best photo I could get before it flew off. I've never seen anything this bright around here. I looked in my bird book and online, but can't find it. Anyone have any ideas?
