Remembering the Important Things


We had the most wonderful time in Monterey visiting my brother-in-law and sister-in-law.  It was so wonderful to be in the beautiful city and just play with them for a few days.  


Some highlights:



~Sipping hot chocolate from penguin mugs.
~Playing Bananagrams while listening to Christmas music.


~Eating pulled pork and coleslaw sandwiches on the beach.
~Seeing all the big fancy mansions along the golf courses at Pebble Beach.


~Getting my first whiff of the ocean when I rolled down the car window.
~Taking a walk, finding a playground, and swinging to our heart's content.


 ~Brownie bites, sugar cookies, and homemade granola.
~Inside jokes at any given moment where all of us are instantly in stitches.
~Knowing that family is the most important thing in the world.



I hope everyone here gets a chance today 
to tell someone they love them. 
Nothing can replace those three wonderful words.
