Last week I said I might not upload a blog post this week, but old habits die hard. Helen and I had a fantastic week in California making memories with our precious grandchildren and I couldn’t sit on those memories, and had to share a few pictures.
I absolutely love Hermosa Beach and whenever we visit the family, I insist on some time around the Hermosa Beach pier soaking up the sun and particularly the sunset. Although the wind was up a bit during our latest visit, we still enjoyed a sunset worth a standing ovation and we were able to coax the grandchildren to stand with us.
The town of Hermosa Beach is small, but is a great place to visit. The Strand is always a beehive of activity with joggers, cyclers, and dog-walkers. On this evening, things had calmed somewhat and the sunset cast some soft light on the hillside above the shore.
We also visited nearby Redondo Beach. Helen loves to cruise through the Farmer’s Market that is held weekly in the park above the pier. The produce and the vegetables are some of the best found in the world.
Our granddaughter shows a few of her dance moves on the pier at Santa Monica.
I’m going to end this short post now but, before I do, I wanted to share the spectacular sunset we witnessed on our walk to our walk to the end of the pier. Merry Christmas to everyone and best wishes for a blessed New Year. We’ll be back in a few weeks–Easin’ Along on our way to spend some time in a warmer clime. Join us in Florida.
Lovely pics, Joe – especially the one of you and Helen with your grandkids. Warm wishes to both of you for a merry and blessed Christmas and a good start to the New Year! Travel safely and enjoy that Florida sunshine!
Good morning and Merry Christmas, Mary,
We had a wonderful time with our grandchildren, but those visits are always too short and they are growing up too fast. As always, I appreciate your checking in for a visit with us. All the best to you and your family for a great start to the New Year.
Grinning and smiling…as usual. Love all the red hair….True blue Bruner’s for sure!
I can only imagine all the fun and new memories y’all are sharing. You did a good job coaxing your granddaughter to perform some of her talent. Great photos
Hello, David!
So glad you noticed the red hair because I love it (and her) so much. We had a great time and got to watch our grandson play his basketball season opener…scored six. All the best in 2020. Hope shoulder is healing.
Thank you Joe for another year of “Easin’ Along”. Merry Christmas and continued safe travels in the New Year!
Ron
Good evening, Ron,
Thanks so much Easin’ Along with us. We have some fun plans for 2020. Please join us. All our best wishes go out to you and yours for a blessed Christmas and a wonderful and safe New Year.
Hi Joe! Read this a couple of days ago and am just now getting back to comment. Looks like you had a lovely time in CA – just look at those happy faces!
And, I’d love to join you in FL…as I’m already here!
Good morning, Nancy,
I was a bit worried that you were adrift on a boat somewhere since I saw no posts on your website. Glad to know you’re still around. We’ll be in Lake Kissimmee State Park on 1/1 and leaving on 1/8. We will be joining my sister and brother-in-law. If you want a day trip, come on over. Happy New Year to you and Dan.
