June 2024

The end of school. Lots of therapy and other appointments. Trips to Rhode Island and San Diego, Becky’s birthday and the start of volunteer programs it’s been a big month.


We met up with cousin Kimn at some botanical gardens in Rhode Island after looking a Roger Williams college.





We saw a sequoia tree here in New England!


Then it was back to school work on Monday. 

Cats are always cute



Becky and Ally working on the Algebra 2 final. 


So relieved to be finished with online school.


With school over we flew to San Diego to spend a few days on Coronado Island visiting Gruncle Phil and Aunt Suzie.


We stayed in a lovely hotel this year. Becky had a friend “seagull Joe” while she sat out on our balcony.

The annual backseat photo.

These these three people!


Becky and Aunt Suzie played some ping pong and 15 games of Spite & Malice. Becky won 8-7.

Out hotel had view of the birds. Ducks and their babies and some flamingos!



One afternoon we walked around Coronado village. Such beautiful weather. Ally bought a book at a bookstore and Becky and I split lunch while she shopped.

Aunt Suzie asked Ally to show her how to “make her eyes pop” like Ally’s do with makeup. So Ally and I shopped for some new makeup and Ally showed Suzie how to apply it.



So fun.


We took pictures on the amazing balcony overlooking the Pacific.





Back at our hotel Ally loved the birds. 





And baby ducks 

Our last day we went to the USS Midway Museum.





This helicopter was used to pick up 5 Apollo capsules! 




A quick selfie before heading to the airport.


Ally was so happy to be home and reunited with her beloved cat Daisy.

A few days after our trip it was time to celebrate Becky’s. Birthday





Ally started her volunteer position at a local hospital.


Cloey was “dog of the month” at our corner market for June. 



And one last cat and Ally photo for the month.

Long over due post.

I got a new haircut…bangs!




Becky was honored for 20 years teaching in her district.

Despite a very challenging time in her life Ally has not missed any work. Here she is heading out to one of her shifts.


Daisy!

Ally's monthly beauty box subscription always makes her smile.

Daisy joined Ally in therapy one day. It was a long drive to the appointment.


Cloey let Ally pick her up!

Cats on their cat tower.

Ally needed to submit a photo for her hospital ID badge. 

Ally got a gigantic set of new markers!

I had to document Ally’s nails. Above are her natural nails no polish. 
Below are her natural nails post manicure. Ally gets a dip powder manicure.  It lasts about 3 weeks. It’s a substance applied to her natural nails to strengthen them and she really likes it.



Ally took the Spring semester off of in person school. We enrolled her in an online school program for the semester to make up her missing credits so she can graduate on time next year. 
Online school was terrible. But she did it and got three A’s !



Annual picture with the flowering tree. So pretty.
