My youngest is 13.<br />I could very easily sit here with my nose pressed against the monitor for several years, look up and find that it is only my wife and I. Or worse, just me. That's why I have given myself a deadline of another year or so to see what might happen with this new career of mine. I've been blessed to have a book published and to see people loving what I have written. This is all gravy-time. It's the family that is the real important thing.<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />-JimmyJames Garcia Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559119178720751963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232628723576241448.post-42552952932678272822011-08-07T11:40:40.648-07:002011-08-07T11:40:40.648-07:00Looks like a great vacation with lots of family fu...Looks like a great vacation with lots of family fun.

And there's a beautiful view wherever you look. <br /><br />Tomorrow my family heads closer to you. We're spending a week water skiing at Lake Mc Clure.

I'm more of a Zeppelin guy, but I appreciate the Beatles immensely. Although I can't stand that song, no one forced me to take that photo.

If we visit a city that has one, we go to it.<br /><br />Our big vacation this year won't happen until our 32nd anniversary (cruise in December), but we'll be taking a small trip to Toronto this weekend to watch my daughter play Footy. Should be a nice break. I certainly hope it's cooler up there.<br /><br />Glad you had a good time.
