Emmanuel's Visit Day 5

Tomorrow, Emmanuel and I are going to John SB's carpe diem swim. I go every time I can, it is almost my ritual. I would take emmanuel to the beach to find a sea shell to keep forever and remember Santa Barbara.




"Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite.  Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance.  Everyone is just waiting."  ~Dr. Seuss

Emmanuel's Visit Day 4

I am taking Emmanuel to the court house because it is both a beautiful building and is an amazing symbol of the US constitution. I love how the court house has so many nooks and crannies. I am also taking him to go horseback riding at the R Ranch. I love galloping up the hill and think he will too.

Emmanuel's Visit Day 3

I would take Emmanuel to smell a citrus grove in the early morning. I always love the fresh smell of citrus trees covered in early morning dew, to me that is Santa Barbara. The touch I would have emmanuel touch is the freezing cold sand of the friday morning swims. Out of all the things sand always has managed to get the coldest for me.

My favorite sound in all of CA is the night time peepers. I am going to make sure emmanuel hears them. I would want to Emmanuel to meet my brother Jay because Jay always makes people smile. He always is happy and friendly.
