Great grand daughter Mariah, granddaughter Susan and Rachel. Maria is Rachel's daughter.


It has been warm here. All time high temperature records have been broken in many areas. Santa Monican’s are fortunate to be living close to the ocean and therefore are favored by the afternoon breeze. This cottage is not too well insulated but has good ventilation so that I can, with a fan, the reasonably comfortable. It is comfortable outback under the tree at the table with the breeze.
