this was us at the Long Beach Harbor in april for lincoln's and darrell's birthday dinner.

the only other pictures i have taken recently are of the house.
one room at a time.
we have a for sale sign in our yard.
and i'm trying to get pictures to the realtor.
and someone is coming to look at it tomorrow.
i have stressed and stressed over how to keep the house clean enough for someone to come in and want to live here.
and the answer is...
it's not ever going to be clean.
ever.
ever.
and i try and try.  
but as soon as i wipe one window and sweep up one pile of sand, 
there are more handprints and another pile of sand behind me.
you know how it is.
so the only thing i can do is pray that whoever comes to look at the house won't trip over toys or look at the dingy grout or notice the pee smell in the bathroom.
what can you do...


anyone want a 2 bed 1 bath in beautiful san pedro????
the house comes with the WORLDS BEST neighbors.
(i was exaggerating the pee smell)


i can't think about it or i will cry.
