I'm Back

My honey and I returned from Sunny California last night. I feel so refreshed and ready to be home for all the daily tasks again. Sometimes you just need a breather, a time to regroup and refocus. Our time together was special and we had many conversations (and laughs) about our dreams, goals and prayers.

We visited Vallejo, San Francisco, Mill Valley/Sausalito, San Jose and Oakland. We honeymooned in San Fran, so it was rather nostalgic. The hills of San Jose were gorgeous. We drove among them for a few hours. So green and lush and beautiful. We even walked some trails and saw deer, turkeys (escaped from a nearby farm), hawks galore, and a few other rare birds. I guess there are mountain lions in the area, too, but we are glad we didn't see any of those.

We had planned on being a lot more active, but ended up doing more low-key things like sight-seeing via the car and walking around in nature a bit, watching an IMAX movie about the Grand Canyon, shopping, touring the Winchester Mansion, and eating reeeaaally good food. We also plain relaxed...slept in and watched TV!

I will most definitely post pictures tomorrow, seeing that hubby has the camera today.

In the mean time, a few verses for this mild, no-rain Wednesday:

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
I Thess. 5:18

So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Return, O LORD, how long? And have compassion on Thy servants. O satisfy us early with Thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Make us glad according to the days where You have afflicted us, and the years where we have seen evil.

Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, and Thy glory unto their children.

And let the beauty of the LORD our GOD be upon us: and establish Thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish Thou it.

Psalm 90:12-17
