Thoughts and such pride to my many students of so many years!! ;-)
To hear from you now brings such great joy. Individuals following dreams & reaching them and beyond. You make my day when I hear of your accomplishments, desires, goals and step by step endeavors. Thank you! This is a wonderful gift. It is that time of year once again. Dave's body surfiing competitions! + The joy of "Papa" to have grandchildren cheering. Just to hear their voices shouting and see them developing a love of the ocean. This picture was an early 6:30 a.m. surf meet. Ella and Catalina + Alissa and Jacob joined in too. And the icing on the cake, to hear David Endelman's named called to receive a medal. All a family experience + a happy surfer. ;=) Mother's Day is a special day...yes! It is also so very emotional for me personally since the passing of my Mom, my best friend. WAN - (PEN) the creative author group I so enjoy, planted a rose bush in my yard in Mom's honor. xo Suddenly it is 5 feet tall and blossoming in multi colors. A delight! Dave spent the evening with my loving mother-in-law, Clare. I had the joy of an evening with my son, Michael. A highlight! I just appreciate our warmth and relationship. Every time we get together is a highlight truly. This time Michael rushed from work and we then had a relaxing and delicious meal together at a restaurant close by. We lingered and talked, shared stories and laughed. This is what Mother's Day is all about. I love it! I LOVE you Michael. ;-) I am a lucky Mom to have a special son, Michael, and our connection. ;-)
We try to get together weekly for a meal, words and a hug. I loved his thought this week. On FB he has joined to "Save the Libraries" Yes! As a Mom I ennjoy his thirst for knowledge and books. And, learning from him. Maybe some of us can make a difference to keep our libraries up, going and thriving.

The world is watching as athletes compete and put their best foot forward. The excitement, disappointments, goals attained, medals glistening, and the world coming together to celebrate so much. Each skill, individual and team, shows dedication and the support of so many for each athlete to even get there. Watch some of the u-tube, & videos online of the parental involvement in their children and the Olympics. (Especially Gold medalist Gabby) Emotions and so much are shared. It takes a lot for a parent of an Olympian and each and every parent of all of our children. Ryan is turning 21! Oh my! For something unique we are sharing a little of Morocco by going to Marrakesh in southern California. He will experience partaking in the traditional feast as well as sitting on pillows on the floor. Of course belly dancers will add to the pizazzz. Last time Dave and I had Moroccan food we rode donkeys to get there in the heat of Morocco. This was Jared and Kaitlin with PaPa Dave at LACMA exploring the different arts and exhibits. This involved shadows as you see in their picture. |
