Redondo Beach, My new haven

We saw the ice cream/yogurt/coffee shop as we drove by and decided to stop and check out Redondo Beach Pier for the first time since we've been here. The weather was cooperating even at 4:00 PM. There was the breeze, so it wasn't hot at all. The bicyclists were on a bike path that goes up and down the coast (not sure how many miles). There's a beach city bus that actually stops near our place, so we could take a trip down that way and take our bikes. The trip back to our place from the beach has a steep hill - no matter where you come from - that I probably couldn't make. But this might be an alternative. And there were tons of people fishing. It was just nice strolling around and eating our ice creams.

Natural Barrier


At my mother-in-love's house, there is now a ton of colorful flowers that replace the wall that you see in the above picture. I couldn't find a front view, but just wanted you to see the colors that now adorn the front of her house. You need to drive by and see it in living color...I couldn't believe what a beautiful difference it made. And you still have some privacy.

In-N-Out

YAY!!! Another visitor. Actually, a return visitor. Heather's aunt brought her and her mom down to LA because she was getting ready to leave CA to go back to the TX heat. We met at the In-N-Out right there by the airport. Can you tell? I tried to show you by picture. The second was the best because I got the sign in like I wanted. But you can kind of see how close we were if you haven't been there before.
Had to get a Heather and me photo, of course.It was fun to see her this time and not have to rush from one place to the other. Got a chance to just relax, eat and talk, and then off she went. Have a safe flight, Heath.

He's the Hand on My Shoulder

My Child by David Bowman

He's the hand on my shoulder
When I need to know someone cares

He's the hand on my shoulder

Assuring me that He's always there.


He's the voice in the silence

That sounds so sweet and so clear

He's the voice in the silence

Telling me that He's always near.


So I don't ever have to worry

When things aren't going quite so smooth

Just as long as I put my trust in Him

He will always see me through.


He's the light in the darkness

Shining through to show me the way

He's the light in the darkness

Guiding me each step of the way.
