Catching Up with Ed and Karen

Catching Up with Ed and Karen
We now live in California's Sonoma Valley, north of San Francisco Bay ...All around us are picturesque vineyards.
We've retired after serving United Methodist churches in Washington State, AND as Resident Minister for the inter-denominational Christian ministries in both the Yellowstone and Grand Canyon National Parks. [These vital ministries continue ...see http://www.acmnp.com/]

After living and traveling full-time in our 35-ft Motorhome RV for seven years, we "hung up the keys" and settled into a cozy cottage in Sonoma , California. Here we are easy distance from our kids and grand-kids.

Thanks for visiting!

San Diego Storm, Part 1

January, 2010

We have had a full week of RAINS & HIGH WINDS here in Southern California, and the surf is up!

(However, even the “normally insane” local surfers are not venturing out in THESE waves!)

To see how the wind was blowing, check out Ed’s jacket & Shoshone’s face!



Wed, Jan 20, we were able to drive to the San Diego Ocean Beach area to see the surf whipped up by the storm.

Dozens of waves simultaneously dance like porpoises at play on the ocean.

The wind blows the breaking waves into lace.

The power of God’s creation shows us our “true place" in it all.”



At the Pier, the waters pound against (and over!) the structure.
No one is walking out there today…!

Note on scale:
Can you read the large "CAFE" lettering that fills the building wall at the end of the Pier?

...What about in the photo below?

    ED and Karen, look out, even in calm weather a rogue wave can come up out of nowhere and snatch you out to sea. We learned this is Hawaii. do not go that near waves at any time. Nancy
