How many trips have I made to L.A. to visit with my dad in the last year? And how many times have I said “This time I’m going to get to the beach?”
Well, dear readers, I finally made it.
This is not to say that this trip is not without its stresses, but it was nice to get away for a couple of hours.
My sister-in-law and nephew arrived yesterday afternoon. Everyone except me trooped over to the hospital to visit Dad and then run some errands. I stayed at the house with Ta-Shi and brother’s family pup, Lo, who is as cute as a bug, but much more inquisitive and puppyish than Ta-Shi. She greeted me this morning and joined me on the side patio for my morning coffee.
I’m up early and caught these sparrows perched on the telephone wires over my parents’ backyard.
