QOL Post: Maybe Dock has started a trend 😊

[JWPMP]

Still horseback & pushin cows...

Three years yesterday since our first trip to UCSF with no idea what to expect or all there would be to learn about a new way of life.

I've been specifically looking for QOL posts and totally loving them. Seems quite a few are on board, hope more share. Thank you all...

[treedown]

That looks like fun! Thanks for posting.

[Hidden]

Looks like N. California.

[JWPMP in reply to Hidden]

Yes! Central Valley, Stanislaus County, toward the foothills below LaGrange.Love seeing you've made it 8 years! Gives Hope

[Hidden in reply to JWPMP]

I worked a central valley circuit many years ago. Best wishes.

[JWPMP in reply to Hidden]

Rodeo? California is a big tough circuit, must have been awesome! We just jackpot although my husband did rodeo some in his 20's & 30's. All the best for the road ahead to you also !

[Hidden in reply to JWPMP]

Yes, a very tough circuit in the 70s. In the 80s I spent a few years with Crafts 20 Big Shows Carnival. Good luck, goodbye.

Now don't tell me you know it's Northern Cal. because of the horseshit?

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Ride on

Much Aloha and Love to y'all

[JWPMP in reply to dockam]

Yep! The sailors, artists, athletes, adventurers...And then the way you unknowingly bring back such good memories of my Dad. He loved fishing in Mexico & Alaska, but Hawaii was his number one love. Diving, fishing, living ... he lived !

Thank you

Dad

Awww Sista, ya never know what a random conversation/post could set off as in deeply buried Ohana memories. Lately I've been saying to my patients that I feel like I'm a pawn on a 4D Chessboard and that there are no coincidences and I'm guided by God/Fates/Karma over my almost 9 years with #stageivpca 💙 and thus helping me make Ripples and Spread Aloha

Btw, is Dad Asian? Japanese? I'm 99% Southern Chinese - Guangdong province

Great family photo !!!Yes it's astonishing what "random" conversations can do...what a universe.

My father, 100% Japanese born in Oakland CA. His grandparents moved here from Japan, not sure of origin.

Retired from IAM Union and moved to Hawaii 1985, was Molokai farmer for 17 years.

Thank you for showing up on this "chessboard" 😉, the ripples cross a vast area ...

[j-o-h-n in reply to dockam]

Duet maybe???? (while rehearsing she can also teach Clint how to be more realistic in the movies when he shoots someone in back four times).....

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Great QOL post. Thank you for sharing.

In the last few months the diversity of QOL posts have been outstanding. I don't recall them all, but they've included:

- painting

- sailing

- renewing vows

- food porn

- Doc's adventures

- poetry

- skiing

-hot tubing with friends

- Celebrations

- sporting events

- grandkids

- tractoring in the snow

- humor

Now we add ranching and cowboying/cowgirling. Great illustration of how this disease strikes across all on mankind, and an affirmation of how determined many of us are to LIVE while we are alive.

[JWPMP in reply to Carlosbach]

WOW! Thank you for that great list and the insightful perspective! 💙

[dockam in reply to Carlosbach]

I know Doc owns the video posting concession, but I've been on a Judy Collins kick lately so here's my contribution
