my grandson Jeff. Alyssia's brother, my daughter Jenny's son. His Woman, T and their 2 year old daughter Brinley to whom this day was dedicated. They live in Sacramento. A Birthday. She and Emrie are 3 months apart. In this pic, Jeff and T are setting up the rock painting table. He had his times, but i can say, with deep conviction, that he is the best Dad ever. He is now living his dream. He has a FAMILY. His theme song since he was a little boy would be the Barney song. I love you, you love me. We're a happy fam i ly. He's Got it. Finally got it. Bless him, like really, Please, Universe, Bless him. Bless them.
missing from the pic are me and Jenny's man. Otherwise, Us , minus as usual my son, his woman and their 6 year old daughter who live in Colorado. on the right is Fate. Who is doing really very well, finding his own particular Way in this world. You also see Julian with his sling. He broke his arm two days ago. New skateboard incident. The look on his face is often the look on his face to me. I love him. He loves me. We do not find it easy. I don't know why. My challenge.
This is the Feather River. This park was completely under water 2 years ago when the spillway of the Oroville Dam broke and flooded. It took two years but the park is back with many many wheelchair accessible trails. The river is a Salmon Run.
Today we saw many spent, dead salmon at the bottom. Washing to the shore. They come. spawn. die. Feather River.
