Style: Who wears it better, Obama or Conan?

And feety-jammies are not an easy look to pull off as an adult.

Phone photos in reverse order… part 6…

My new best friend!

And her best friend. So now we have traveled back in time to early April. I had just found out that my mom had passed away. To cheer me up, my family got me the best birthday present ever. A trail ride!

Yes, we are going to be buddies. Sorry you have to haul my huge carcass around on your back.

And we are off on our adventure. The best thing about this day was that no one else signed up so it was just me and a very nice teenage girl as guide.

Also, it was incredibly green and lush because of a very wet winter in San Diego.

Oh yeah.

Seriously, this is as green as the hills of Southern California get.

Yee ha. Ride ’em, cowboy!

Phone photos in reverse order… part 5…

So now, still traveling backwards in time, we come to a special day for me. I made some new friends.

I had just found out that my mom had passed away very recently. But it was my birthday, and my family got me a wonderful gift.

I got to go horseback riding, but, since these are in reverse order, this shows some friends I met after the ride, just hanging around the ranch in the San Diego hills.

Awwwww. Look at that sweet fuzzy face!

Once again, animals love me, and will always walk right over to say hello. It is a gift.

Dogs and babies love me too. How lucky am I?

Join me next time, when we go back in time just a few hours, and meet some really cool horses.

Phone photos in reverse order… part 4…

So, a few quick photos taken from the hotel we stayed at the first night in the Bay Area… and then, back to San Diego, by which I mean, because these are in reverse order, we will now travel back in time to before we left for the Bay Area… for my mom’s memorial service… and who was, I remind you, at the time of her passing, 99 years and 8 months old!!!

Our cat, pretending she is comfortable on the edge of a shade tent.

And then I got Covid, a couple weeks before we were to leave for the Bay Area. That was fun.

What happens when you wear black pants and pet three huskies!

Lizard in a corner.

Another lizard, looking for a corner perhaps? These are mostly taken at work at my job as a private security officer.

Uh… what does my daughter have stuffed down the front of her shirt?

Why yes, it is a baby chicken. Is that a New Mexico thing… or a nursing college thing? Or maybe just a Mollie thing. She is my kid after all.

Phone photos in reverse order… part 3…

We are still going backwards in time…

These random photos of San Francisco were all taken on the evening of the first day in the Bay Area, and the next morning, from a hotel we stayed at until we could move into the air b and b on the second day.

Now, my mother’s funeral service is still in the future… uh… even though it has obviously already happened… if you see what I mean.

Nothing extraordinary to see, just a different angle than usual on the city, and the usual swirling, ever-moving fog.

Gotta love the zoom lens!

Hey! Colors!

More random photos of our trip to the Bay Area for my mom’s memorial service.

Random turtles.

Random son-in-law.

My friend, jamming at his own 60th birthday bash.

This is the same night as the memorial service, and my friend was at the service too. My mom loved music.

Air B and B.

And some really good food down by the bay.

So there you go, going back in time through my phone and my life.

Phone photos in reverse order…

To show the emotional rollercoaster I have been on, I am going to clear off my phone, starting with the most recent pictures, and working my way back.

These are just random shots of our last day in the Bay Area, a few days after my mom’s memorial service… which was awesome by the way.

You can’t actually see San Francisco across the bay. Too much fog. But Jason, my son in law, will not give up!

My daughter Mollie, the one who is going to be a nurse very soon, and her boyfriend, Ben.

Are they adorable or what?

Nope, can’t see it.

Awwwwwww…

My wife and other daughter, Jessica, were with us, but my wife won’t be shown on the blog, and I guess Jessica was being boring.

Jason says that the hills are alive with the sound of music… or he is trying to fly… or something.

Mollie the mollusk!

You go, nature girl!

Okay, I am back…

I haven’t done any art at all since my mom died. Well, I did play guitar with a friend once, but no tiki carving, no blog posts, no podcasting, no nothing. And I got the Covid.

But I am back on.

Awkward pauses… part 2…

Just random photos of funny moments when I paused my tv.

Plus, you get to see what kind of tv show I watch… so… uh… yeah?
