Breakfast

My brother Tommy came over for an early 4th of July mini-vacation.  He got Trevor a propane grill for Christmas of 2022.

Trevor finally put it to use and breakfast was delicious.  We had an abundance of bacon and eggs.

My Gift Arrived

My son Christopher got me a Christmas gift for the first time as an adult.  I have not received a gift from my children since childhood when they would come home from school with crafts wrapped up in festive tissue paper.  After my separation from their father, I lost everything, including all the little ornaments they made me at school.  I'll forever be saddened by that.

I was always very sentimental about their things, including their baby teeth and little handprints.  

On a lighter note, it was so cool to receive gifts from my boys this past Christmas.  Christopher gave me a gift card to Amazon and this is what I chose.  I needed a new pair of slides.

I needed "sandals" that I could wear socks with, because I like being able to slide my feet into shoes really quickly if I need to go outside, but it's been so cold, that I need socks on.  

These were perfect and I love the colors.

Christmas Move

“Want to keep Christ in Christmas? Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, forgive the guilty, welcome the unwanted, care for the ill, love your enemies, and do unto others as you would have done unto you.” ― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

My sister, husband Trevor, and I have been in the process of moving to Huntington Beach.  We were rushing to get the boxes unpacked for four days, so we could get the apartment decorated for Christmas.  

It happened, finally.  Here is the result.
