Relax this weekend!

Awwww.....to be a cat. Take time this weekend to relax and hang out. Darryl my lounging cat says it's good for you.

First Day of School

On Monday I was able to fill in for our photographer at the Half Moon Bay Review and take the photos for a story about the first day of school. The reporter and I followed a kindergartner from getting up at his house through recess at his school. Since my youngest turned 20 on Sunday it certainly brought up a lot of memories for me. It seems just like yesterday that I was dropping my kids off at kindergarten and crying over them being so grown-up and going off into the world of school with their new clothes and lunch box in their hand.

The future is now for my children. One is 24 and in the Navy, the other is 20 and going to college. It's just as hard now watching them struggle with life decisions as it was when they started off in kindergarten and you wanted to teach them everything there is to know about life at the same time wanting to protect them. I don't know where the time goes and why it has to go by so fast, but it does. As much as you want them to stay young and cute and protect them at every turn, you also want to seem them soar on their own. That's the hardest part, watching and letting them make mistakes.

As for the kindergartner that I shadowed on Monday in the story, his mom informed us that he was very proud of the story in the newspaper. But on the second day of school he woke up and announced, "Today I don't think I can make it." Don't we all feel that way some days?

Famous San Francisco Brown Twins

We were at the Cheesecake Factory at the top of Macy's in San Francisco on Sunday and the famous Brown Twins of San Francisco sat at the table next to us. They were adorable. I've never seen them before. But when I googled famous twins in San Francisco, there they were! I hope when I'm 81 i'm up to flirting with waiters and walking around San Francisco dressed to the nines! You've gotta love The City!

Favorite Golden Gate Renaissance Faire Photo

This is my favorite photo from the Golden gate Renaissance Faire on August 17, 2008. They all looked like they were having such a fun time!

Golden Gate Renaissance Faire

I went to the Golden Gate Renaissance Faire in San Francisco on Sunday. Picked up lots of ideas for my sons renaissance themed wedding in Ocotober. Found lots of accessories for the costumes and was entertained by the many guilds that were there. I posted the photos on my photo website and received an email from Frau Minna of the St Max Guild as I had captured their guild with a couple of my photos. They will be posting them on their website.
