Calvin's latest

Calvin continues to amaze me. We went to the aquarium today with a friend of his from school today, and it was incredible. He is so determined to question and explore that it literally wears him out. He's upstairs this very moment sleeping off his morning of exploration and fun with his buddy. I am so proud of him.

writing on Pico

So, I've been working on writing my book. It just occurred to me, as I was lost in the essence of reliving my past, that I need to stay focused on what made my early years spent on Pico Mountain different?

Some thoughts:

• I grew up merely steps away from skiing--and good skiing!
• I was allowed to roam for miles and my parents didn't worry--this was before cell phones.
• I knew every rock, nook and cranny, bend in the road, and hill within at least a mile radius of my house.
• We had to keep the pantry stocked at all times as the closest grocery store was 10 miles away, one way
• Often, the weather determined if we went out or not.

Hmmm, maybe this book will work.
