“Are you ready to ride? Do you have your ticket? Hold on!” I would say when you were less than 4 years of age as I grasped the chains of your swing at the park. As I slowly, but surely, raised you off the ground,...
I love these 12 photographs that serve to remind of a remarkable weekend four years ago today. The weather; a crisp, cool, Northern California morning, changing frequently throughout the day with a threat of rain that never developed. The sky made a little opening just as the...
