Hi all– It was a grand grandkid time. If you some grandkids yourself, you know what I mean. We made a dash up to SF last weekend to talk and play and read books and eat with our kids. There were some sweet moments. Here’s my favorites…
Saturday morning we trekked north across the bridge to the old Fort Baker, historic military quarters, that have now been transformed into a lodge. We ate at the the Murray Circle restaurant there, overlooking the Bay and the Golden Gate. (pictures: Mae & her mom waiting for brunch, view from our table on the porch, chicken hash & eggs)
We took a blustery afternoon stroll down to Ocean Beach through the Sunset– blue skies and some good sand digging with our Mae. (pictures: Aaron & Grandpa with Mae, some good sandy digging, walk up from the beach).
And it was good to just kick back around the house and have some grand-kid time. (pictures: Grandpa and Eero having a “conversation,” opening some belated Christmas gifts together)
Sunday we ended up at Ani & Brian’s for for luscious lunch. It was the last day of their “vegetarian January” so we got in on butternut squash soup and a bright citrus salad! Love hanging out with them and, of course, that dog Harry. (pictures: warming soup! Bri & Ani, and out walking with that Harry.)
Thankful for a weekend with you all– thanks for the office tour AA, thanks for the time to talk at coffee Jessica–you know I love that, thanks for the hugs & books & smiles Eero and Mae, thanks for the beach walk & the beautiful lunch Ani & Bri. It was the best!
The Thankful Heart 
Looks great, thanks for posting!
Hi Marion! Fun to find your blog– you’ve been so many places!! love your Andalusia pics. That was our home for many years. thanks!
Thank you for dropping by my blog, it’s so nice to read your comments!
I’ve visited San Fransisco a couple of times and enjoyed the city very much. Love the dog on your photo too, what breed is it?
Hi Marion– San Francisco is a unique place. Two of our kids and their families are there, so we get up there often. Oh, and Harry (the dog) is a rescue dog, but think he’s a Wheaton Terrier. He’s really just a big ball of fluff!
Love terriers, we used to have a West Highland White!
What wonderful pictures! (I think Mae looks just like you!!!). Those grand kids are so cute!! So happy for you, Rhonda – it sounds like you all had a very special time!

The photographs are gorgeous, Rhonda!! I thoroughly enjoyed your dispatch from San Francisco. I especially loved your top shot of the bridge. The sky is so blue! Did you find any treasures on beach? (And the soup looks wonderful, wonderful.)
Cheers!
