I've been so busy thinking about my father in law I forgot to share with you how good my son is doing. We had some problems when we were in California - he was tired of sleeping at the park or in my courtyard and wanted to come home. I left it up to my daughter since she was staying at my house while we were away.                                                                                                                      She allowed him to stay a couple of nights but he was still being difficult and hanging out with the same people - I really wasn't sure what I would be coming home to. I kept praying that being homeless would be his rock bottom and we would get our son back. He had a c...

I met with Eric last night at Lux  http://luxcoffee.com/  to work on The Shutter Release Project II. First of all, I had the best tacos and chocolate cake at Lux.

It just shouldn't be... don't become so focused on things that you become blinded to what life is for so...
