Some BODY knew it was my Birthday MONTH!!


Yup, July arrived in SF. This is a typical day at the bridge, taken on our morning run. UGH! Again, if you know me, you know how much I enjoy SUN SHINE!!! To me, this HURTS!

I didn't take any photos - BAD Barbara.... but we met up with David and Vasi's cousin from MN - Timmy and Ragani - and enjoyed a few special meals together.....one at their home and Dick BBQ'd some tri-tip at our home on another occasion. People outside of California are not familiar with tri-tip and they really enjoyed it. Also, I discovered that I can FINALLY make a yummy dessert - Peach Cobbler - from SCRATCH! Everyone seemed to enjoy it with vanilla ice cream on top! YUM! Timmy and Ragani are beautiful, peaceful, funny people that love God, United States and family. They have a similar story as David and Vasi where they left South Africa in the late 80's for MN to have a better life for their family. This was their FIRST one week vacation they had EVER taken from their jobs since arriving! Hard working people!!

We took a quick trip to Visalia to check in on Dick's parents. They seem to be adjusting well to their convalescent home. They are in the same room, which is large, high ceiling, bright space. The food could be improved so we take them In and Out Burgers and Root Beer Floats when we are in town. Dick's Dad hasn't been eating but the float disappeared quickly. Gabby also enjoys the visit. She has been doing a lot of work at this location. The patients see us and ask for Gabby! She loves giving love!
When we came back to SF, we were taking Gabby for her morning walk and met up with one of our FAVORITE Giant's team members! Hey, It's my BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!!
Yes, Brian Wilson, the infamous closer. Yes, I am dressed like it is WINTER!! It is quite a story how we met, we'll have to tell it to you LIVE one of these times. Just trust, it is UNFORGETTABLE!! We talked for a good 15 minutes right around the block from our house!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!
