Summer...Glorious Summer!!!

I have walked with a friend in The City, 

 Hiked in a local preserve,

and saw lots of Banana Slugs....note my sunglasses for scale.



I have gone to 7 a.m. yoga, tried out a boot camp type class on the pool deck complete with tractor tires to flip over, push ups and sprinting and all kinds of torture in 10 centers over the course of an hour. I can now touch the top of my feet when I am warmed up....the goal at the end of summer is to touch my toes....I am one of the most inflexible persons in the world!

I have sewn, embroidered and played around in my sewing room, I have sold things on craiglist and ebay...I have avoided cooking, have been getting my dog fix by dog sitting this cutie...

who has stolen the hamburger buns off the counter and devoured them...but he has been forgiven and he now cannot be left in the kitchen unattended.....Goldens always behave like they are starving!

Soon we head out on the road trip we had planned for last summer...the summer spent in the hospital, with little sleep and worried that The Captain would not recover and taking years off my life. But in comparison, this summer we are beyond excited to be going on our trip...and I have had time for myself...and us.

Yes...school looms on the horizon, but first- v.a.c.a.t.i.o.n!!

I'm so glad you are enjoying break! I didn't realize the UC Santa Cruz mascot was that large! Blech!.
It's hard to stay mad at a face like that, isn't it?!?!
I'm trying hard not to count the days down until we start up again, but it's hard not to. It seems to go by real fast after the first week or so.
