Look Mom! I'm King of the Tree - Wordless Wednesday - 02/29/12 10:39 PM
Look Mom! I'm King of the Tree - Wordless Wednesday
 

 
My little one loves to climb trees.  Most of the time he's great at it and proud of himself, but sometimes he gets himself stuck up in the tree and needs help down.  That's fine, except that my young prince keeps getting bigger.  One of these days, he's going to be king of the tree until Daddy gets back ; )

Daddy, What's That?  It's Huge - Speechless Sundays
 

 
 
When we visited the La Brea Tar Pits, my little one was fascinated by the mastadon/Wooly Mammoth.  He was trying to decide what it was and wanted a better look at the big dinosaur with the big tusks.
Then he wanted Daddy to explain exactly what it was.

I love the juxtaposition of this photo showing an ancient mastadon in front of a modern day skyscraper.
I remember being fascinated with the La Brea Tar Pits as a child, and I still am today.  It's amazing how much we still have to learn about the world we have inherited.

Coming in for a Landing . . . on a Seagull - Speechless Sundays
 

 
I spent the afternoon out on the Newport Bay and saw lots of wonderful things including beautiful homes on different islands and the great outdoors.
 
However, this moment was one of my favorites.  A trick of perspective?  You decide.

During a trip around the Newport Bay, my son decided to feed the seagulls, at least until they got a little too close for comfort.  Suddenly, he decided it might be more expedient to toss the bread, turn around and scream.  Fortunately for me, I had the camera up and ready waiting for the feeding.

Saving Huntington Beach Homes from Foreclosure  
Waiting until the last minute to stop a foreclosure is definitely not the best way to do it. It adds stress to all parties, but sometimes owners do just that. This is a potential short sale for me, and the owner has been hoping that he could avoid that or foreclosure and have a loan modification.
However, after speaking with the owner and learning that he had been unable to reach his loan modification negotiator regarding the postponement of a sale the following day, I jumped in and learned that this owner's loan modification … (2 comments)

Well,  I'm way behind some of the big dogs like Lenn and Todd, but with this post, I'll be joining ActiveRain's millionaire club.
 

It's taken a little less than 4 years, and as I sit here tonight, I realize how much has changed, how much I've learned and how many friends I've made in those years.
I first joined AR in May 2007 and did exactly nothing other than set up a profile.  I didn't start commenting and posting until a year later.  Why not?  I didn't know what to do … (96 comments)
