George Bailey

Well I hope everyone had a great weekend and made their moms proud. As is our tradition, we celebrated Mother's Day at Presidio Park. One of our favorite places in San Diego. High on a hill overlooking Old Town and the San Diego Bay it is one of the most serene spots in our lovely city. Why is it that the Church and the Government always own the best real estate?

The day was filled with sunshine, family, friends, fried chicken and all manner of food, copious quantities of beer and wine, guitars, baseball and Frisbee, and badminton thrown in for good measure.

All in all it was a lovely day.

It's times like this, that I like to take a step back with La (literally) from the brood and enjoy just watching all the activity. All our friends, loved ones, child and husband and reflect on how our life is truly blessed. As we watch them, I feel a sense of legacy. That after 31 years of marriage to my lovely La, we have something - not necessarily to show for it, it's more intangible than that.
It's more than satisfaction with our position in life, I'm proud and love all of them. It's that we'll be leaving one day and managed to make our little bit of earth better.

It's a Wonderful Life Mr. Bailey.
