A Lovely Little Spring Shower

By -
After a fairly hot and sticky weekend, we had a pleasant reprieve from the coming very hot weather with a an overnight shower, which refreshed the gardens and parks. So off for an early morning walk (2.75 miles before I just got uncomfortably damp!) The California Buckeye trees are everywhere in the Regional Park, and right now we have the full gamut, from gorgeous full flowers to the picturesque floral spikes that preceed them. What a treat!

Eldest grandson Thomas graduated from San Francisco State University on Friday at Oracle Park...what a wondrous day. The last of our grandsons to graduate from uni...hooray! Ross and I started the day with a great walk along The Embarcadero to the Ferry Building, where we had a bite at the little Cambodian place there. It was a stunner of a day! Then in the late afternoon family gathered at MoMo's for early dinner and drinks with the graduate-to-be, his girlfriend, brothers, mom, dad & step-mom and Ross and I. Lots of hilarity and photos! Then on to Oracle Park for the actual event. There were 7,100 graduates, so fortunate that Oracle holds nearly 42,000 people! Chilly, breezy, and lots of speeches, but we made it, and the graduate was thrilled, as were we!

I just can't seem to get myself in gear. No energy, no motivation to get myself going. It's hard to think of all that's necessary to bring this project to fruition: choosing a zillion things like stoves, fridges, bathtubs, shower surrounds, tiles, colors, flooring, etc. ad nauseum, when you don't know which suppliers are good, what brands to choose, where the showrooms are. Sigh. I know it's silly, because it will all be worth it when we're finished, but I just can't seem to get into it this time around. We've built two houses before this project, and loved doing them both. I think once we finally get going I'll get my house mojo going again, but for now I feel a bit paralyzed. And...
