Lupton's Loving Life

Garfield, I know just how ya feel!

This morning we drove Paul to San Francisco…. where we had to say good-bye. He is off to get his passport & shots in order for his first TDY to Botswana, Africa.

 

Hopefully, we will have the chance to see him for Christmas…or at least one other time before we leave.

 

We will be packing out of our house in March and are looking at leaving the states April 1….

 

So, the kids and I will get to meet up with Paul on the East coast at the end of March….

6 months…

 

it’s not so long… it’s not so long… it’s not so long.

 

And then we are off for another two year posting!  

 

I did start investigating Ghana today…. something to look forward to and all that. (giggle) Oh man! It’s gonna be good!!! (and not just because we will all be together again…)

 

After we left Paul the kids and I took the long way home down Highway 1 for a ways.

Sea_otter by you.

We pulled over at the perfect spot and happened to be blessed by seeing a number of otters floating in the kelp below us AND about 5 sea lions playing in the water, a flock of pelicans that flew by us in formation right at eye level ….

It was a nice drive home…

 

This Monday is so not fun though…..It's gonna be rough around here without him....

 

Oh, we did get to have some Aussie style fun today on the drive home...

we stopped in a bakery on the coastal route, grabbed a cuppa cocoa, a few scones and a blondie slice.

THEN we were driving along and happened upon this sign… of course I had to yank the car off the road for the photo …

now sing along with me, “We’re goin’ to ….”  

and as if that was not enough …  I passed this bad boy by and had to whip us around for a picture… This is a VERY rare thing to find here – but you know how I do love them so….

 

Miss you guys!

Dear Donna,

Will be praying for you often during Paul's absence. xxx

You got some great photos of the sea lions and I really can't believe that mailbox! What are going to do to yours???

If it's any consolation, you have your family with you this time so that will made the separation a *little* easier.

We miss you too.
