Highly Recommended Movie

I highly recommend the movie "Temple Grandin", an HBO movie.  It is a true story, which are my favorite.  It is inspiring.

Isabella - the love of our life (of course all grandparents say that about their grandchildren)

San Francisco Photos - Not Exactly in Order

Mt. Shasta in California

Ship in harbor in San Francisco - apparently several movies were filmed here

 A cable car of course

 Golden Gate Bridge (it was a beautiful and clear day - not always the case, as most photos you see show the bridge in the fog)

Zebras eating - seen on a wildlife reserve

Exciting that we were able to get so close



Myself sitting by a Coastal Redwood

My sister and I within a redwood

I snapped this photo while we were driving along Highway 1 and found it calming

Antelope at the wildlife preserve

My sister took this photo and I thought it was beautiful

This was outside where we stayed one night

These are wild elk that we saw along the highway as we were heading out of the redwoods



My Sister and I in San Francisco
It was extremely windy and cold but a beautiful site
