CALIFORNIA CAME TO STAY...

 "summers always seemed longer and warmer when i was young"
                                                                             ~ me (and maybe you, too!)

...until SUMMER 2014.


as a native of the Pacific Northwest, i have always prayed for a California summer.

this year, God answered my prayers.

California came to stay for the summer!
( thank you, God!)

our summer held the  l o n g e s t  stretch of warm summer days on record.

we jam-packed so much into each perfect sunny, blue sky day.

as you know,  A U T U M N is my favorite season.

for the first time in my life,  i am sad to say goodbye to summer.

dearest  golden California sunshine, please come back again next year!

we had the summertime of a lifetime!

 in the mean time, 

 we will gather to embrace our always perfect, PNW Autumn blessings...
