Share a Smile on Balboa Isle!


When I first moved here, my mom, little sister Bethany and little brother Casey all helped me move down. While they were here, my mom gave me as a "housewarming gift" a plaque that hangs over the front door.

"If you are lucky enough to live at the beach, then you are lucky enough!"

Words cannot describe the feelings that well up on occassion: as I am driving home down the hill and over the bridge to our little island viewing sailboats and palm trees on the horizon, or while feeling the bay-breeze tossel my hair on the ferry rides to the penninsula, or the 2 minute walk/beach cruiser ride to the beach, or while watching baby and mommy dolphin dorsels pop out of the surf. I am lucky enough indeed.

One of these days I will find some "spare" time to take photos with the great, new camera John gave me for my birthday and post them for you all to enjoy!
