Psalm 91: 9-12 ~ “If you make the Most High your dwelling- even the Lord, who is my refuge- then no harm will befall you, no disastor will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.”

Our weekend in Seattle has been wonderful. Yesterday the girls had an afternoon out. My sister Lana at Above the Clouds has 3 beautiful collages that capture some of the beauty of our day.
The Queen Mary Tea Room
The Japanese Gardens
We’re wrapping up our extended weekend in Seattle. We fly back to L.A. this evening. I’ll be posting more photos from the weekend after I get back to the condo in Southern California. Have a great Monday!
Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007-2015 hostage and they have blacked them all out. I’m slowly working at restoring my posts without their help. Such a tiresome bother!
Here I am on the beach.
And here I am with Dear who is a big part of me, too! So after being around to a couple photo hunter sites I decided to add this last photo of the real me in a shorter leg version than my shadow…
Have fun Photo Hunters. I’ll be traveling today so I hope to get around to more sites tomorrow.

We have finally had some interesting skies here in Southern California this last week.
I managed to catch these clouds in the reflection in this beach pond.
The first three photos are from our beach walk and this last photo is taken through our car windshield on the way home from the beach on May 26th. I took the photo and I was not driving :0)
This last photo was taken on May 25th on the way to the airport to pick up Dear.

I try to choose a verse for Word Filled Wednesday that is from the Book of the Bible that I am currently reading. I just finished 2 Corinthians and I am now reading 1 Corinthians. A little out of order but I’m on a journey of reading each book of the Bible 20 times before moving on to the next and not in order. It’s been a good method for me because it helps me retain a lot more than just reading a passage and then moving on…

Some people call Santa Barbara “The American Riviera”. This beautiful city on the Pacific Ocean has so much style and charm. Along State St. you have many eating and shopping options. You get a very international feel when you catch several different languages being spoken. Santa Barbara is about 300 miles South of San Francisco and 90 miles North of Los Angeles. Just 40 miles North from my home.
State Street and the whole downtown area is very pedestrian friendly. There are many wonderful open air arcades for shopping and people watching.
Here are just a few of the Arcades.
Some of the Arcades have Sculptures to enjoy.
The Santa Barbara Art Museum is also located on State Street and of course you can view some great old relics and Statues or a Monet.
You’ll also find the Mission Santa Barbara up against the mountains. Some call this mission the “Queen” of the California historic Missions.
If you ever travel to California make sure and put Santa Barbara on your “must see” list but be aware that it can be very pricey to stay here.
Now back to my hometown. Horses and ranches have great histiorical significance in Camarillo. Camarillo is named after Adolfo Camarillo. He was a rancher and is known for his famous White Horse which now is called the Camarillo White Horse. You’ll see these famous horses ridden in the Rose Parade. These are some of the Silver saddles from the Camarillo Ranch House Estate…
The Silver Saddles and the Spinning wheel are in the Historic Camarillo Ranch House.

God, the Hope of those who pray,
God, our Help where here we stay,
Life of those who pass away:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
Hear us for the men who fight
For our honor and the right,
Shield them with Thy glorious might:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
Father, Thou Who lovest all,
Help them when on Thee they call,
Ever keep them lest they fall:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
Christ, who died to right the wrong,
Make our brothers brave and strong,
Though the war be fierce and long:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
By Thy cross, O Christ, draw near
Those who die, that they may hear
Thine own voice, and have no fear:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
Holy Spirit, come, we pray,
Guide our country day by day
In the high and holy way:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
Make us all a worthier race,
Formed and strengthened by Thy grace,
Make this world a holier place:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
words by Harold Trask, 1915
What to do with shoes on the beach~
Hold them
Put them on a rock
Just don’t put them on your feet
This is our oldest son Josh and his wife Laura at the beach with us in California.
