It's the truth!

I don't know who said it but. . .

"There's nothing you can do to make God love you more and there's nothing you can do to make Him love you less."

. . .and His death in place of ours is the proof.

Today

After church we went to Ellie and Bud's where I met Max, their pet rooster, for the first time. He's quite colorful and unique. He also bit my finger. Then we took a picnic lunch and headed toward the coast. We stopped for lunch at the Armstrong Redwoods and took a walk there.




After that we headed to the ocean where I took about 70 pictures of the big waves. It'll take me some time to go through them, delete and edit but I promise to post some of the best ones as well as videos as soon as I can.

Fall in the vineyards

I just can't stop taking pictures of these beautiful leaves.

Floor Work

Al and Bob (our renter) at the end of their second day on the floor. Don't let anyone tell you laminate flooring is easy to install. It's very time-consuming and you learn while doing it. I'm hoping we'll be happy with it once it's done. All the base boards and trim around 8 doors have to be replaced too because it will go down 3 hallways and into the dining room. The walls are newly painted ivory.

This sits at our neighbor's yard across the street near their vineyard.
