Two Imperfect Beings
"I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together."
— Lisa Kleypas (Blue-eyed Devil)

Seeking Excellence
"Excellence is...Caring more than others think is wise;
Risking more than others think is safe;
Dreaming more than others think is practical.
Expecting more than others think is possible."
-Winston Churchill

Epiphany
"Fiesole" A. Cabot 2011 “One of those flash epiphanies of travel, the realization that worlds you'd love vibrantly exist outside your ignorance of them. The vitality of many lives you know nothing about. The breeze lifting a blue curtain in a doorway billows just the same whether you are lucky enough to observe it or not. Travel gives such jolts. I could live in this town, so how is it that I've never been here before today?” -Frances Mayes

A Sunday Family Outing at the "Pumpkin Patch" in Long Beach
We had a fun day with our nephew, niece and their son, Rex.
"Hey Rex where are you?Oh there he is with his daddy and mommy !
there was alot to see and do at the pumpkin patch...
Rex loves motorcycles
and steering the boat was fun...
this was a hard climb up all those stairs for a very fast slide down, down, down---swoosh he made it!
then there was the pony ride...."yee haw" ride'em little cowboy.
"toot toot" last ride on the train.
One last look at all those pumpkins!
Gotta get a picture with Aunt Barb and Uncle Mike before we head up Pacific Coast Highway for some lunch at Sunset Beach.
After lunch a nice walk on the beach. 
The sun was shining on the Pacific ocean and there were lots of kites in the sky.
This was a pretty butterfly kite.
It was such a nice family day with our favorite little guy, Rex!
We loved our October pumpkin patch outing!
