Wednesday 28th December
We started the day with another of your favourites ~ a trip to IHOP ~ you loved their pancakes, especially the apple, cinnamon, raisin and ice cream ones, liberally doused with lashings of maple syrup.
Following breakfast, your brother bought a fishing rod and we went to Sombrero Beach to test it out ~ unfortunately no fish were caught. However it was a lovely place to spend the afternoon, paddling, watching the boats and pelicans, and relaxing.
A large iguana met us as we were returning to the car, with a scaly back and large feet/claws, it certainly fascinated your brother and his girlfriend.
Thinking of you
Missing you so much
Blowing kisses to heaven
Loving you forever
Darling Angel son.

So beautiful, and that iguana is HUGE. Wonderful memories often help us to heal.

Thank you.
It was a lovely day, and yes, the large iguana was a surprise, just lying there, sunbathing on the pavement.

Aaah. I have a special fondness for IHOP on account of how close Eugene’s IHOP was to its bus station. Each time I left for L.A., I’d eat pancakes with friends while waiting for my bus, so that it came to be … a treat for me, wherever it is. Li’l D and I go to one a few miles away sometimes. It’s a different location, but still the same feeling. ♥

It certainly is a wonderful place to eat, but only occasionally ~ far too tempting 😋😄😋
