An Afternoon n the City

Mireille, Romeo, Kevin and I enjoyed watching (and listening to) the California seals and pups at Pier 39. I don't think Mireille could quite believe it. She'd never seen anything like our seals.

San Francisco

We took Mireille and Romeo to San Francisco to celebrate Romeo's new job and drivers license.

We had to check out the Pacific Ocean -- a gorgeous day and warm!

And a trip to Pier 39 -- tons of people and music!

After the Financial District and the Civic Center we headed across the Golden Gate. And enjoyed a fabulous view of the City,

And the Golden Gate bridge. Then had a sunset dinner in Sausilletto. A really wonderful day celebrating the goodness of God to all of us.

Talking about Journaling

I was invited to share some of my thoughts on journaling on a Moody radio talk www.middayconnection.org show this week. If you're interested here's the link...my section is the last 15 minutes. Kinda funny to be at work, one minute writing the disaster recovery plan for the library and the next minute the phone rings and I have to shift gears and talk about journaling. I was hoping that my mind wouldn't go blank and I'd have nothing to say. At least that didn't happen.
