summer 2020

Hello Good Person,

Summer 2020 has been amazing with lots of memories. We traveled as a family to NC for a week at a beach house, course the world knows about coco, Linwood took a trip to Virginia, we went to the Sand dunes and a few other fun times.  

It was a good time for us to share time this week a joyful time and good memories.

Rented a Cadi during this trip and enjoyed the rain while in VA. Huge out with Dre and some of my boys during the evenings after chillin with family most of the day.

Quita cooked a bomb dinner on Sunday and invited me over. It was delicious and I was glad to share that evening with her. They got a new house over on Janet Dr. in Hampton and it's nice. I am proud of all her hard work.

Quita was in the kitchen making this happen. Chicken tenders, bread and fettucini alfredo. Linwood took a plate with him that evening so he could have another plate later that night.

My dude since we were kids, he was a toddler and we are still riding. Love this dude.

She tried to get him for his hat but he didn't let her get it though. Love Lucy and want the best for her to the end and back.

Yep, we went downtown and let our voice be heard. It was crowded and we tried to stay spaced out with our mask on cause the co co mess. Staying healthy!

Evening summer walks seeing birds, sunsets and a peaceful way to close out a day. The 2 of us have been walking almost every evening and sometimes the girls join us. The Sheed even comes along sometimes and he has been doing really good no barking at other dogs or people.

Red winged black birds hanging out and I don't know what this one below is call but we think it's Cool.

We walked down to this pier every morning while in NC this summer. The morning walk to the pier was like a 4.5 mile round trip. We were able to see the sunrise and we were in awe daily. While there we saw dolphins, rode the jeep we rented on the beach, played in the pool and of course we all loved being in the ocean. The wild horses on the beach was a site to see, they were absolutely beautiful.

We were able to see the VA folks on the day before we flew out.

I took this picture of a bicycle pump and inner tube replacement device on the side of a hiking trail here in Colorado. I never saw anything like this when I got a flat tire on my bike. Times have changed and this is a luxury to have in the middle of a long bike ride away from home.

Here is a picture of the park near our house on a morning walk. It has been a long hot beautiful summer.

Walking around the track while waiting for Jordyn at practice. It was a lovely scene.

The smoke from the forest fires have been rough on the state and having to breathe in all that mess. Yes this sunset looks nice but it's the smoke in the air. Nasty stuff on the eyes and body.

Sitting at the edge of the bed doing some work for school and took a picture. Some days I think I should be a photographer.

We are all outside of nana house and the folks are have church outside. We had a good time out there laughing and chopping it up.

 

It was hot as a forest fire in VA. 

Yep, that's a jelly fish on the beach in NC. Biggest one I ever seen in person. I been stung by jellyfish on multiple times at Buckroe Beach back in the day. I am glad I never ran into this joker cause it would have hurt more than it did from the smaller ones.

Here's a pier they do not allow people to fish from, but it was fun walking to the edge and hanging out for awhile.

We rented a jeep and I took the doors off that joint so we could explore and have lots of fun. Creating memories with the family is a good thing. Crazy Fun!

Go carts one morning before it got to hot was fun no one else was there and the cars were fast. 

Wild horses not raised by man but living on their own. They are shiny and beautiful and kind of amazing to see as we were riding along the beach.

The turkey was walking around our block looking for his lady.

Will you please leave so I can come out of my hole and play/eat.

 

These guys were in front of the house too. Asking have we seen their friend Turkey.

 

 

 We saw this guy while in the sand dunes. I don't talk but I bite says the bird with no friends.

 

Watch this daddy, look dad look.

 

 

 

 

Just a small taste of the summer. More to come in the near future.

Memories from

 Sara loves to take pictures of us from behind, I think she takes great photos.

 Memories! I must have did something wrong so I ran and I'm glad he caught me.

 Linwood loves his new scarf as he poses in the shop on the way back to Cairo.

 Jordyn is hanging out in the fireplace room as Sara was getting ready for bible study.

 Having fun at the pyramids like the apparently the Egyptians did.

 Yes, we were posing, this amazing view cannot be described with words.

 Walking down the Nile as the sun was setting, Jordyn in the background on the boat.

 Just wait, this will be a Christmas Card one day.

 Who is that beautiful lady near Linwood's legs?

 Early morning leaving Cairo, this guy had collected wheat, grain or something before 8:00 AM.

 Sailing down the Nile, enjoying the day.

 Horse carriages down the street from our hotel in Luxor.
