First Father's Day as a single dad. First camping trip with just the two of us. Life goes forward.
Spent the first night near Fort Bragg, at a private campground that's one of the few places left in California where you can camp on the beach. Zoë set up her one-girl tent just100' from the surf.
Patrick's Point was sunny but cool (as opposed to Sacramento, which was 110 degrees yesterday). Four wonderful days with Paul and Chris Andre and their two daughters, hunting for agates on the beach and enjoying each others' company. After the many camping trips our two families have shared, it was a real shift not having Peggy there...but we will never forget those memories, even as we move on and create new ones.
This is so Zoë, nimbly creating her own resting place in the cleft of a rock, spontaneously and without instruction. Finding balance and joy in a hard place.

Eric, you could very well haven been a professional writer. Well, it's never too late. I'm sure a book about the fun/crazy Warp/Smith family and how they loved and laughed through life would be a hit. Thanks again for helping us all to stay in touch with Peg.
