Last year, my mother passed away in her sleep without a Will. Becoming the Administrator of her Estate was a lengthy process, but nothing compared to the unknown obstacles I would be forced to deal with it. With my husband by my side, we faced each situation with tenacity and common sense, never loosing focus on what really matters, while maintaining our lifestyle. My continued exploration in the world of knitting, exercise, and photography keeps me grounded.

Hiking while coping with one of the worst storms this year in Northern California. At least, the drought is officially over. I look forward to planting sunflowers this year.

Black and white is so appealing.
