Hi All,

Zuma Beach & Fireworks!

I've come to love the words, "it was a good day!" You see, with autism those words may or may not be the description of your day. I am so happy that today was a GOOD DAY!


Noah & dad hanging and enjoying the beach.




~ Sweet moments to treasure ~




~Fireworks at Valencia Mall ~



Noah was mesmerized, and NOT scared!




The picture quality doesn't show it (iPhone), but the fireworks were great! I can't believe I forgot my camera!

Memorial Day

We spent Memorial Day with Jack's family in Fullerton, CA. Jack is blessed to have a wonderful family! I am grateful that they adopted me some 18 years ago. These are just a few photos of the Orange County Winkle Clan:
