....I wish it was just a jiggety jig...for it doesn't really seem to matter how many times I make the trek home, the trip never gets any shorter (well why would it?) or too much easier.
Anyway after 3 good hours of Horizontal sleep (with no bumps) I was up and zooming down the freeway to see the boys and we have had a wonderful weekend of catching up on love, hugs, stories and HOMEWORK! LOL...
Not often that Moms or Mums are thrilled at the thought of that, or laundry, but I guess I make the exception.
Of course I've managed to get down to the beach a couple of times already. The weather is just balmy....28C, blue, blue skies and now that #2 Son David is as much in love with his camera as I am, picture hunting just became twice as much fun as ever!
Even #1 Son, James has wrested an older camera off me this time, so maybe we will see some pics from him too!
So here are a few snaps from the past few days....Leaves, trees, beaches and the most gorgeous little shell that was just waiting for me on my walk this afternoon......
Beautiful photos - love the one with the flowers!!! Do you know what kind of flowers they are? Tree? bush or is it just a flowering plant?
Your beaches look just as nice as here in NW Florida (only they do look a little bigger - and I didn't see any highrise hotels :).

Hey you... girl in Down Under... I am happy with you, reading that you are still home with your boys, enjoying sun, beach, love and laundry :-)
Your photos are so fantastic. Hope to see more, more, more... My favorite is the shell photo. I love and collect shells! Enjoy the weather. Here in Germany after one sunny springtime day it will be again a cold and rainy week. But on Thuesday we will drive to the Baltic Sea in Eastern Germany for Wellness Weekend!
