California in August

A beautiful day in San Diego, California, a wedding on the grass above the surf of Sunset Cliffs. My lovely granddaughter, Jessica, wed Dylan Bruce.

This wedding was a wonderful gathering of family and friends. I had special moments with my three California "kids", Glen, Simon, and Diane. The day after the wedding we drove from San Diego to Los Gatos taking the coastal route. We stopped at Mission San Juan Capistrano and the Hearst Castle. The next weekend we were on the road again to Salt Point on California's Northern coast. At Salt Point we gathered with other members of the family and friends for a memorial service for Dan Even, a favorite nephew. Every year Dan, my sons, and a group of friends met at Salt Point for an abalone dive. The event had become a family tradition

The gathering at Salt Point was very special. It was a reunion of many family members that I hadn't seen for years. It was a warm sharing of rememberances in honor of Dan.
