with a grateful heart...

...for love, for family and friends, for an abundance of blessings...

Oscar Wilde and Me

St Stephen's Green...Dublin

Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.
Oscar Wilde

...and one more...

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone elses opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
Oscar Wilde

With my job at a wholesale perennial nursery, I get an allowance each year to pick out up to $100 of plants. So one day at the end of summer, I bring Ana and we normally walk around the nursery.
I try and pick out a few plants to add to my feeble landscaping attempt in my yard. She picks out the ones she likes, mostly pink, of course!
This year it was spitting rain so one of us (namely me!) pushed the cart and all the plants and one little princess who didn't want to get wet...

Back to the Oregon Coast

Jakob chased the seagulls...

Ana looked for whales...

Someone new to love :)

We had everything we could ask for...

...a wonderful house big enough for all 12 of us (minus 1), only a block from the ocean...

...hands-on fun...

...exploring...

...MAN, this was FUN!!!

...and even some time to hunt for treasures...

Same time next year?
