| Leo's dad Robert took this of us |
In the background you can see John and Gene and my iPad. There weren't many people at the coffee shop so it seemed a good time to document Leo's growth. I am in this place almost every day, and the people I've met there are like family. Leo was only six months old when I first met him here, and now I am invited to his birthday parties and have gone sailing in their 26-foot sailboat.
In a few minutes I'll be heading back outside to see a movie, The Danish Girl, with Eddie Redmayne, last year's recipient of the Oscar for Best Actor. It's getting really hard to see all the movies I want to now, after what seems like a real drought. There are at least a half dozen more I need to see before the Oscars are announced on January 15. I'll be spending a few days in the theaters, that's for sure.
We had a wonderful walk this morning, the ladies and I, although it was very foggy when I set out to meet them and made driving precarious. Isn't it interesting how fog makes well-known streets look like a foreign land? But now it's sunny and gorgeous outside!
:-)
Both of you look fine in your home away from home.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day/weekend.
Leo is a very handsome boy, and I'm glad you and he have become good friends. Happy New Year, DJan.
ReplyDeleteHe's a lucky little boy to have gained your friendship.
ReplyDeleteYes, he's growing like a weed :)

Wow! Leo has grown quite a bit!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute pair you make!! You could pass for kin. You both always looks so full of joy.
ReplyDeleteI remember the photos of Leo when he was smaller – I like this photo - he sure is getting big. I finally came back to the computer a couple of days ago. I read your post on Christmas – it sounded so nice. Starting about Dec 22 I got a nasty case of acute bronchitis – hard coughing all the time, exhausted, no appetite, bed and chicken soup – lasted almost 3 weeks! No Christmas, no New Year, but Chinese chicken noodle soup every evening. We had no visitors which was good for them. But I missed reading blogs. I saw also your beautiful photos in the mountains – I always marvel at the stunning sights you see on your walks. I hope that 2016 will be a great year for you and Smart Guy.
ReplyDeleteI love it that you have your coffee shop family! Hi, Leo.
ReplyDeleteWe opted for working outside in the yard this morning instead of walking.
I have been building a list of movies to see, and will revise it when the Oscar nominations are announced. We don't go to many movies, except in January and February.
Cute kid! Nice to have a little friend.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to have a friendly coffee shop nearby (and friends in it)!
ReplyDeleteGood to see Gene and John too! Leo is growing...seems like only yesterday he was little:)
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how wonderful it is to read about and to see Leo.
ReplyDeleteI love the sweet bond the two of you have.
He is growing so fast....
Cherish every moment.
Love,
Jackie
There's a special relationship between you and that little guy, DJan. He's a cutie.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness....he has grown!! That's a good picture of you two.
ReplyDeleteI love Eddie Redmayne by the way. Les Miserables, the mini series, Pillars of the Earth....just about everything he's in, it makes it better. ;-)
Oh, and as you know, I LOVE fog.
I remember when you first introduced Leo to us. He sure has grown and so has your friendship and I love seeing Gene. Funny, how people grow on you that you have never met. Kinda feels like extended family. Thanks for the update and have a wonderful day my friend.
ReplyDeleteLeo has grown so tall. What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteYou are looking good, too, DJan.
The years have flown by with Leo! You have a very special home-away-from-home. :)
ReplyDeleteHope the movie is good. I really enjoy his acting. Very talented young man with worlds of emotion in his eyes.
Handsome young man indeed. As to all the good movies they seem to come in streaks between long droughts...
ReplyDeletei've come to love your coffee shop crew, too. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie pie; oh, the little boy is darling, too.
ReplyDeleteLeo sure had grown! Your special relationship withhim, and coffee shop friends make me smile. Thankful for the good in our communities. :)
