These Days

I've been keeping pretty busy.

I try to do a little writing everyday, and reading. Right now I'm reading this:

...which usually leads to this:
On Thursdays, Grace Cathedral has Evensong. It is a short service of songs and bible reading and prayers. We like to hear the hymns by the boys choir echoing through the cathedral. 

This is Baker Beach. Turns out Lando is scared of almost everything except the ocean. He likes to play in the waves. Chase prefers to watch.
A few weeks ago we went to the San Rafael Street Painting Festival. Thousands of people wander through the town where artists use chalk pastels to make amazing colorful murals on the black asphalt:


We are half-way through our time here in the Bay Area. I would say we have definitely kept busy! We are starting to miss certain things about Utah that we never really thought about before. I think we will be happy to go home when August comes.

Love the new blog colors. It would be fun to see Lando play in the waves. Remember how Forrest would chase the water and try to bite it as it rushed down the gutter when it rained. So hilarious.

How exciting...books, naps, cathedrals, choirs sounding beautiful hymns, and trully awesome street paintings. There is culture coming out from every direction where you live. TOO much fun for one summer!

Wonderful blog thanks so much for sharing. You will have some choice memories. Grandpa and I are doing well. We will be going to Frazier, CO. with Bev and Max next week. Looking forward to that. Annie, I read Winds of War years ago and it does take time to get through but it is worth it. So long as you can take plenty of naps. We love you, Grannie
