My morning walk..

 

It's been a month since I walked..

 

The week after our nightmare camping trip I woke up with a swollen knee and by 2 that day I could not even put any weight on it...

 

I saw the orthopedic PA almost 2 weeks later...

 

Some fluid was removed and some cortisone was put in...

And now I am ready to hit the road again...

I did better than expected... one hour on the trail..

 

Enjoy the pictures of my walk at Point Vicente...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What a beautiful place to walk...

and a great way to start the day...



The Getty museum...

My granddaughter and I went to the Getty museum in Los Angeles..

 

It is such a deal you pay $15.00 to park and the museum is FREE!!!!

So If you have 8 people in your SUV its only $15.00...for all of you..

 

You can bring a picnic and find a nice shady spot on the grass areas, bench or table..

It was a beautiful sunny day..

 

Enjoy the pictures...

 

Walking up from the tram to the first of thousand's of stairs....

but around the stair's were ramps and plenty of elevators...

 

  The views of Los Angeles were beautiful..

 

 The beautiful garden area..

 

These are 1 inch re- bar with bougainvilleas growing inside and out the top...

We sat here in some chair's and had a cool drink..

Watching the water.. it was almost silent..

 

 

 

 

The same water turned into a waterfall down to the garden area and this amazing plant sculpture..

 

 

 

We made some wishes and tossed some pennies in...

 

 

 

This is the cactus garden and this is as close as they allow..

 

 

 

 

 

Kid were rolling down this and the other hills...

 

 

 

You could only take pictures outside not inside..

We only spend  about 2 hours and we could of stayed all afternoon..

So much to see..

The inside  exhibits change all the time..

Great with the family, on a date and even by yourself..

Hope to go back soon and see it in the fall..

Today was a good day...

No it's not because I didn't have to work today..

No it's not because I found 4 mcdonalds coupons  so I can get a free iced coffee tomorrow...

No its not because I have a clean house...today

No its not because the dentist could not do x-ray's....

No its not because I folded and put away 4 loads of laundry (one is still in the dryer and it will stay there all night)...

Ok Ok I will tell you.

Some of you will be excited and some of you won't..

SCHOOL STARTED!!!!

YIPPEEEEE....

It was 7am  when my grandaughter (the tall one)and her best friend left for there 1st day of high school 9th grade.

So they made scrambled eggs at 2:30am, were starting showers at 4:30am and I got woken up at 5:30 because they couldn't find the iron...

I really don't think they slept at all...

I am gratefull that my granddaughter has always loved school and I've never had to drag her out the door to get there (she was usually warming up the car for me when I had to drive her to middle school)...

4 more years for her then off to college....

And just to clarify things they are not carrying purses... they are bags...

Sometimes its just poses from the yoga magazine or a video from you-tube.

But this day it was sunset yoga in the back yard..

 

She is learning alot of different moves and is suprising herself of what she can do...
