We did it Again!

Yes, another Segway ride! I was coordinated enough to ride and take a short video at the same time.

We rode up a hill to a park, where we met the Handy Husband. His office was having a picnic. After showing off our prowess on the Segways, we rode back down the hill and around the harbor until out time was up.



Rejoining the picnic, Ernest found other fun things to do. "Want a hug, Mom?!"


The birds started lining up on the fence. First one, then another.....then.....it was Hitchcock time.

Glorious weather!

The Best Day I've Had All Week

I've been feeling a little punky this week, a combination of an intestinal yuckiness, massive perimenopausal hormonal fluctations, and a strange middle of the night panic attack. Someone else drove for me Thursday, and the Handy Husband kindly took over my carpool duties this morning --Thank you sweetie, that was so nice of you.


However, I pulled myself together this afternoon to keep a promise to Ernest. (I've had to renege on the Disneyland visit next week because I can't get a reservation at the Disneyland Hotels and I refuse to stay anywhere else). So keeping today's promise was important to me.



Yes, we rented SEGWAYS! Oh my gosh, what a blast! That was the most fun I had all summer! I felt better on that Segway than I have all week!


My top 5 enjoyable events this summer were:

1. The Segway Ride,
2. Seeing Mamma Mia!
3. Dining out with my Handy Husband every chance we got!
4. Having my kids return safely (which should be #1 but the traffic issues dropped it down the list),
5. And seeing this grafitti every time I drove the carpool to the big town:

Seriously! There is a string of railroad cars along the coast, abandoned on a side track. They've been there all summer. Graffiti gradually started to appear. Ernest noticed this masterpiece several weeks ago.
