With the unexpected death of my brother I needed some time to heal. We find forms and ways to do it in. For me I try to find it in art, a way of incorporating the hurt into a project of some sort. I knew as soon as I spent time with my sister in law, Cassie she inspired me. You can tell the love that she has for her family and my brother, Dan.

She will never know how much I love her for still coming…<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQZeRrLI-X-qTwFMWGWj6E1umPE_5OObTqwhJ0FEPLa42R8qhPZLU1INNRi1mgmXC-NhzEGWtEp5UCpM-r5fSJcrS1zwdUgdzF4fNPJFPnpCdphoV-w_UrPWImRYJIr5q9A12K6tiE65hh/s1600-h/IMG_0178.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 146px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQZeRrLI-X-qTwFMWGWj6E1umPE_5OObTqwhJ0FEPLa42R8qhPZLU1INNRi1mgmXC-NhzEGWtEp5UCpM-r5fSJcrS1zwdUgdzF4fNPJFPnpCdphoV-w_UrPWImRYJIr5q9A12K6tiE65hh/s320/IMG_0178.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365580464574773922" /></a>Projects I say…these are them…one for Kate my niece…Sisters…the banner<br />Sisters being all women standing strong togetherness<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9pZ05qf7mzvLxTL_pie5l9mb05ufmEA1VXDhnyMfr_kxQdwLxcpja6roPtUaEu6dkHKQ97pvvSknFANMdHkVXAupT20EMUNYHTLCDIghZ7EbVEBJ7s4cPCN5b2PNwE_YZd5R6DWnPhmo9/s1600-h/IMG_0184.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 319px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9pZ05qf7mzvLxTL_pie5l9mb05ufmEA1VXDhnyMfr_kxQdwLxcpja6roPtUaEu6dkHKQ97pvvSknFANMdHkVXAupT20EMUNYHTLCDIghZ7EbVEBJ7s4cPCN5b2PNwE_YZd5R6DWnPhmo9/s320/IMG_0184.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365580744300659666" /></a><br />Cassie is the lucky gal who gets two projects a mini album…all my lovelies and a banner with the word inspire just because she does…I love her…<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYYgQZJsQekXjYgjTkpmKpVka62CZLw6QF2vbYBjiVTWCsKhjs-OV1NKtTFWeSnpFVObfGKjFS2ePz1Av3lt2Rym94h5UoT2TOjXDoQJMoeLeQvS_noG500w2a2e-Xtd9x6vigxM3y1RP7/s1600-h/IMG_0181.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 122px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYYgQZJsQekXjYgjTkpmKpVka62CZLw6QF2vbYBjiVTWCsKhjs-OV1NKtTFWeSnpFVObfGKjFS2ePz1Av3lt2Rym94h5UoT2TOjXDoQJMoeLeQvS_noG500w2a2e-Xtd9x6vigxM3y1RP7/s320/IMG_0181.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365580973329619202" /></a><br />I didn’t make something for the guys because I didn’t think that was their “thing” but if it is I’m sure they’ll let me know.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG1RKklN7Me2wFOV1xnfM4tePqF-E_lC-D176dKZGAGF2I5kOOTR0N1fCAeQmgJFCcvyWjfQZ30atqrxRgv1i92PSyFT4cpOCSaPGCbQ7VXym9jHqAXrXW_ZtCqfzFd46J-cbtyeQd9BMo/s1600-h/IMG_0156.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG1RKklN7Me2wFOV1xnfM4tePqF-E_lC-D176dKZGAGF2I5kOOTR0N1fCAeQmgJFCcvyWjfQZ30atqrxRgv1i92PSyFT4cpOCSaPGCbQ7VXym9jHqAXrXW_ZtCqfzFd46J-cbtyeQd9BMo/s320/IMG_0156.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365581395153501330" /></a><br />And lastly…I have a 2nd grader!!!!

Those of you who know Hayden he has these little teeth for this big ol' body and head. We noticed that a permanent tooth was coming in behind the baby teeth on the bottom row. On Monday I called the dentist to move up his apt. to an earlier date. Well he saw the dentist yesterday along with Liam. The dentist recommended that he pull two of the bottom along with filling two cavities. Luckily through the last days I prepped him enough to know what could play out. He was prepared and decided not to fret over his upcoming break about what could happen so he chose to have it done.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitJiC-gKe-I7W4g00KcquTAtvF703y9iZwSADOKJ7zJPUNv46bd-T6vHX5TvKOef7JAFvwPiWV1b_5Hlv8gcPBVDG1cnTeKN08HOTrXf09A1d_orx4F8Yr7lFAC3Snt8jvQQnLPT8Gswx6/s1600-h/IMG_0380.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitJiC-gKe-I7W4g00KcquTAtvF703y9iZwSADOKJ7zJPUNv46bd-T6vHX5TvKOef7JAFvwPiWV1b_5Hlv8gcPBVDG1cnTeKN08HOTrXf09A1d_orx4F8Yr7lFAC3Snt8jvQQnLPT8Gswx6/s320/IMG_0380.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312512821829529234" /></a><br />My big boy...Liam looked on so he knew what to expect if and when he went.

It was wonderful seeing my sisters and hanging with the Kirby's. Somewhere in the middle of celebrating with my family my father in law went on life support and passed away. I've been very sad dealing with my emotions. The man was an incredible father. You would never know what a life the man had led. He had done so much...to me he was "Chuck". i enjoyed our conversations and i will miss him greatly. With weddings and funerals you get to see family members. In the picture are his grandchildren and the great grandchildren minus a few.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF5VmlTIB5G424LFD9hifv8jdakRAvXpt6EI2PhIKXFzfwlRsc8yTNSRSUbx_sbdkJ91O5GJfnCuxTw-qOQdQkTattQ3fDiCPNvdqrlH-IEtfDik0oSAZmejO7MdkRbq1w2pfjIAO7Zbyv/s1600-h/IMG_0031.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 164px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF5VmlTIB5G424LFD9hifv8jdakRAvXpt6EI2PhIKXFzfwlRsc8yTNSRSUbx_sbdkJ91O5GJfnCuxTw-qOQdQkTattQ3fDiCPNvdqrlH-IEtfDik0oSAZmejO7MdkRbq1w2pfjIAO7Zbyv/s320/IMG_0031.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278290328966102482" /></a> Hayden really enjoyed connecting with his older cousins from New York.

We headed out to Brannen Island. And a funny thing...no pictures. i think the only pictures were from our iphones uploaded on to our FB's. Go figure. Hayden has always wanted to camp there because we pass the campground every time we go to Sacramento or points to the North. We started in site 29 but ended in the nice sunny spot of 30. Yes Diane, Liam and I moved the whole camp to 30 when Bruce was gone on an adventure with the big boys. It was sunnier and warmer. We had a good time watching movies and scrapping at night. Kids were down by 7:30 every night.

He thought they were all beautiful. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY6Wbh9px20CYsHcU6UomGEyykqC23oCg5zakBD8K1yZvGZRALmviz-2ygUp62vXHl8uZlQkeL9r68I3TzaqB4zIYNWSjtms2ceAvtfTiQhzoDA2jmVjliJ-3OaisXT0KFFVeCQvy7Vht_/s1600-h/IMG_0382.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY6Wbh9px20CYsHcU6UomGEyykqC23oCg5zakBD8K1yZvGZRALmviz-2ygUp62vXHl8uZlQkeL9r68I3TzaqB4zIYNWSjtms2ceAvtfTiQhzoDA2jmVjliJ-3OaisXT0KFFVeCQvy7Vht_/s200/IMG_0382.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265602313801064194" /></a>Hayden's school parade was fun to watch as usual. i have memories of my paraded at school. They were always a highlight of the day. My mother only made it to a few of mine so i make it a priority every year for the boys.

I purged 6 years of scrapbooking stuff. <br />breathe in breathe out<br />We did quite well but after we were starved so we picked up the boys and headed out for tacos and margaritas. Yeah then we had to go to the city park to sober up a little by way of the barbers chair. Dueling chairs that is. Hayden wanted a 1 and 1 but he got a 2 and 2. Liam just got a clean up from granddaddys buzz.<br />On Sunday i headed into Oakland chinatown to have brunch with about 200+ of my people. Yes the OwYangs. Very interesting lot. I hadn't planned on going until my Aunt Betty called and said that she was going. A nice surprise was to see my cousin Petrina and her daughter Jasmine. i have not seen them in a while. Talk about life getting in the way. The boys miss camping with them. Never a dull moment. While i was looking for a parking spot i did a ditzy thing. i thought the sign said 8'2 not 6'2. 8'2 was on the other side. So i headed down into the lot and heard BAM...yes it was my racks hitting. Of course i couldn't back out right away because of the pile up of little cars behind me. They had to back out then me onto to busy Webster St. They all moved fast when i went...i skidded out. Well i was on a downhill grade. What was i suppose to do. i also got to go to my favorite chinese deli YUMMY!!Ginger Doughertyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04590316459662458503noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649521534844699571.post-33248620619962740812008-10-16T14:46:00.000-07:002008-10-16T18:59:48.358-07:00challenges, inspirations and little lovelies of fall...So this past weekend was our Art, Wine and Jazz Festival.

Hands up in the air with a whoot whoot. They saved a man in the water. John swam out to him and gave him a hand with his true wingman, Bruce not far behind him "Baywatching" on his windsurf board. He got out to John just in time. John had seen this man floating by on some reeds so he swam out to him just as the man decided to jump off and try to swim to shore. He started to go under and John reached out to him and gave him a hand. They got him to shore safely on the board. <br />Bruce also saved my son, Hayden.
