Our little piece of heaven 2017



Body surfing is a huge part of summer time fun and here we see Cecelia and Colton fine tuning their timing. Cecelia was particularly good at wave riding this year.




Ceclia is taking violin lessons and was showing Papi (and the rest of us) how to hold it properly to pluck the strings. Very cool.

Who doesn't love the colors here?

And getting to ride waves on top of that...heaven.


Heather, Matt & Harper visited the roundhouse this year. They introduced us to Spikerball, which will now be part of our regular beach activity menu.


Lauren, Philip, Charolotte, Leo and thoughts of Jemma joined us at the roundhouse this year. Wiffle ball and beach time, jenga and cards and more...lots of fun.


We shared Father's Day with Julie's Dad at Dockside Daves...enormous grouper sandwiches were well worth it!

Jim's Dock with the gang while Lori was in town with Tom & Sarah, Amanda & Ray, C&C, M&D.



Mom and I were #1 fans for Ceclia's softball games and Colton's baseball games, continuing Mom's tradition from the days when she was at all of my games, and before that when she was the start of the softball team.

Catching up with Jim at Charle's 90th birthday celebration!

Leaf composting continues to expand. No leaves left the property in the past three years. Now producing enough compost to no longer need to bring in compost to build the piles. Soon will be producing enough to also do all fertilizing on the property.



Bonfire in the yard with hot dogs, hamburgers and marshmallows to roast with Casey and Aeshlin, Philip, Lauren, Charlotte and Leo, Mom and Dad.

Charles (just turned 90) and Joyce. Two of the finest people on the planet.


Minor cabinet painting job with Tom.


Leo, Charlotte and hats.


Wiffle ball on the beach, of course.

We could not love you more, Dad & Mom!

Expanding the spikerball playing universe with Carolyn, Greg and Giovanni.

In all honesty, I never knew a relationship could be this good. The Summer was filled with work and play, good food and relaxation, and everything good and life-affirming about the Summer and my life in general starts with Julie. xo
