Another Blog Posting, Long Overdue!!

It’s been a long while, have been very busy with the family, summer has finally come to SoCal, and with a vengeance!!! It seemed that this winter (which in SoCal doesn’t mean much), was exceptionally dark, so I’m very happy that the light of summer is here!! Of course, at this writing (July 27), we are truly in the middle of the heat!! June went by in a flurry, Chelsea graduated from Woodbridge High, we had some great weekends down at the beach, where the water temperature is unseasonably warm!!! Can’t tell you enough how much I love the beach, even after having gone at least a thousand times, it never gets boring or old. There is just something about looking over the vast Pacific, and standing on the western edge of this great USA. We are blessed, our drive to the beach is about 15-20 minutes, so oftentimes we go down in the evenings just for a few hours, just to watch the sunset and have a dinner at the beach!!! Yes, my life is great, I admit it!!!! The boys have been off school for the last 5 weeks (although they went back yesterday, Bo-Ho!!!), so we have done a lot of stuff with them. The 4th of July weekend was a four-day holiday for me, so we did the beach and Sea World down in San Diego, then just hung out and saw the great fireworks in town. Summer at Casa Lindwall is usually the following: Pool, Beach, Hamburgers and Hot Dogs on the grill, drives down Pacific Coast Highway, and generally enjoy life to its fullest. Throw in a few bike rides and a couple of gigs with the band, and life is complete!!! And yes, we even went to Las Vegas this summer!!! Kathy and I haven’t been since A was out here (1993), and the kids have never been, so a few weeks ago we loaded everybody up in the car, and drove clear across the Mojave Desert in to Sin City. Just for a night, we stayed at the Luxor (the big pyramid), a behemoth of a hotel where one can get lost for hours!!! The kids had a great time, laying by the pool (the temp was a toasty 109F), and then walking around to see the new hotels. Las Vegas is like no other city in the world, truly unique. Where else do you go to admire noting but hotels!? No gambling for the Lindwalls, just a good time and a little adventure. Everybody is doing great, Chelsea is working a lot, before she goes to college in the fall, Kathy is staying home (mostly in front of the fan, the heat wave has been intense), gardening and shopping. The boys are pretty much hooked on Game Boy (my fault, bad daddy!!), but it keeps them from fighting, and what more can you ask for!!!!! I will be taking some time off, a few Fridays here and there, so that I can enjoy myself even more!!!! Work is great, busy, but it makes the days go by, and soon enough it’s the weekend again!!!! Anyway, I will be traveling to Northern California on Monday, so chances are good that it will mean another Post!!! Until next time, all of you out there, have a great time, and enjoy the summer and all of your loved ones!!!!

Yours, Kram, Peter L.
