Mesh Beach Bag Giveaway - Perfect for All Sports #funbag

Exercising can be fun!!!  

This really is a fun bag. Now that Reef is older, Oma likes to keep toys available to him when we have time to play. This large bag is perfect for our favorite kickball and several other toys. I like to keep my fun bag in the back of my car. The mesh design makes it easy to shake sand and dirt away from the toys before placing them in the car. The mesh is also great to allow any wet toys to dry to prevent mold or mildew.

This backpack is very durable and secure. Oma loves the little extra pocket which is secured by zipper. Perfect for some cash and/or my ID. Although they call it a beach bag – I use it for everywhere!

KPRIFM – Rest In Peace

By now, all KPRIFM fans have heard the shattering news that the locally owned radio station was sold. On September 28, 2015, it was announced that KPRI would be sold to the Educational Media Foundation, pending FCC approval. Later in the afternoon, after playing Bob Dylan's "Forever Young" as its final song, KPRI 102.1 flipped over to EMF's Contemporary Christian music feed K-Love. 

Thanks for the last 20 years of innovative and creative #sandiego music. You will be missed #kprifm ! (Me with Bob Hughes)

KPRIFM Co-founders Robert "Bob" Hughes and Jonathan Schwartz, both have backgrounds on the corporate side of radio and desired to create a station that was commercially viable while successful at the same time. 

The station launched in 1996 as Sets 102-FM. They acquired the 102.1 frequency in 1995 as part of a $68 million deal with Par Broadcasting.  From 1998 through 2015, the station broadcast an adult album alternative format.

"KPRI had been a ‘true labor of love.’ I thank each and every one who has helped us create and sustain a truly amazing radio station.” Bob Hughes expressed. Hughes had noted that the independent ownership had made KPRI difficult to operate profitably, as other stations in the market are owned by conglomerates in clusters of multiple stations each, and enjoy financial synergies as a result of their scale.

For us San Diegans, KPRI was much more than a radio station. They held various listener appreciation concerts, hosting artists such as Adele, Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons, and Norah Jones, as well as sponsoring the Green Flash concert series, held at the Birch Aquarium.

Oma and Opa were honored to attend KPRIFM’s last Private Listeners Concert featuring Anderson East,  an American rhythm and blues/pop group at the Coasterra Restaurant on Harbor Island.

Beautiful San Diego, perfect place for a private listeners concert. Here to see Anderson East. #kprifm

Balboa Park Highlight Mengei International Museum

By Stacey Kuhns 

Most San Diegans have visited Balboa Park.  There is always some event happening in the 1,200 acre park; either on the main galley walk or around the museums and grassy areas across from the VA hospital.

On Tuesdays, you will find great deals for free museum entry for residents at many of the museums (check the websites for information).

The Reuben H. Fleet museum offers residents free admission and reduced IMAX tickets on the first Tuesday of the month. The tickets are $9.95 instead of $19.95.

Most of the museums also offer student or military discounts anytime. There are so many places within Balboa Park that many people never see. One of my favorites, because it reminds me of an old enchanted forest, is the old stone stairs and walking area just past the Reuben H. Fleet museum. The tree roots alone are amazing and the area makes for some great photo opportunities.

On 09/27/15, a friend and I went to Balboa Park. We started off the day with one of the IMAX movies. They are pricey for a one hour movie but it is a cool experience to see a movie in a 3D surround theater. We saw Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Hidden Ocean movie.

It was a good movie but with the large surround screen, it does lose some focus and the images and color are not as crisp as they should be. The movies change on a regular basis and there are usually three different movies to choose from at any one time.

The very small children in the theater seemed frightened by the large screen around them and I noticed a few parents leaving with small children soon after the movie started.

Also, if you are planning to visit the Rueben H. Fleet museum, the bottom floor is under construction so there are no exhibits open. Upstairs is open with interactive exhibits for the kids. This is a great hands-on museum for children of all ages (including adults who still feel like kids!)

If you love interesting plants, visit the Botanical Building (right behind the lily/koi pond). It is well worth a visit and sometimes they feature different plants during certain times of the year, such as orchids (which are amazing). The lily/koi pond is beautiful and if you stand near the Botanical building and look back over the pond, you get one of the many beautiful views in the park.

There is also a sculpture garden that people do not seem to know about. Large sculptures dot the lawn and there is an outdoor eating area in front of the garden. If you go out of the back door of the sculpture garden, the path takes you to the Old Globe Theater and the California Tower (recognized by most San Diego residents). The tower was initially built for the 1915 California-Panama Exposition. It soars 200 feet above the equally beautiful California building and has bells that chime every quarter hour.

My favorite museum in Balboa Park is the Mengei International Museum. (They used to also have a Mengei International Museum on Grand Avenue in Escondido, but is has been turned into a church property.) You will notice the entrance to the Mengei when you see several of Niki de Saint Phalle's sculptures outside. Her sculptures are also found in many areas of Escondido.

The Mengei may not be a museum to entertain young children, like the Reuben H. Fleet or the San Diego Air and Space Museum, but if you love seeing art from the USA as well as from around the world, this museum is a true find.

Every time I am at Balboa Park, I visit the Mengei. When you walk into the museum, there is a fantastic gift shop on the right. To the left is usually where they have their featured exhibit (limited time). Last time I was there, it was an exhibit of black dolls which was fascinating. This past weekend, it was an exhibit of carved walking canes from a myriad of different areas and eras.

Heading upstairs, you cannot miss the giant Dale Chihuly glass sculpture. Also upstairs is the extremely unique Procession, made by artist Alice Hudson. This took her 25 years to complete and was her final major work. You can spend quite a bit a time studying the creatures in her exhibit and marveling at her imagination. 

There are many artists and different works on display upstairs, including a fascinating doll exhibit. This museum is not to be missed. 

Balboa Park also offers a variety of entertainment on the main Prado walk. We watched a man play his digeridoo, which was beautifully carved.

Balboa Park offers a variety of entertainment for all ages. It can also be a beautiful place to visit that does not have to cost any money. There are plenty of things to see. 

Bring a picnic and enjoy the miles of hidden treasures in the park. Sometimes, all it takes is looking up or down to find beauty around you. For instance, the leaves that have fallen from the trees in the park. 

 Gorgeous! 

Sunday Family Breakfast Home Sweet Home

 

 

 

 

Rescue by Stacey Kuhns

They come to us broken, scared, and alone

Needing love

The stability of a home

Some so tiny, fragile, and sweet

Some who spent their lives on the street

Some whose owners have passed away

Leaving no option, no place to stay

Every life special, every one unique

Seeing deep inside

For the love that they seek

It takes someone special to answer this call

For as many as we save

There are others who fall

Little lives gone in the blink of an eye

Tearing our heartstrings

Making us cry

But the someone who sees past

The scruffy soul

There is an unconditional love

That can make you feel whole

Healing the broken, the scared, and the weak

Making them realize it is love that they seek

The ones who have never felt kisses or hugs

Are the ones who become the best love bugs

They respond to a calm voice and gentle touch

And in return they give us so much

It is all worth it when they get a new start

And the previously unwanted

Become the key to your heart

Our happiness soars when a forever home is found

The strength of that bond cannot be unbound

It is not easy to do what we do

It is a trial

But saving just one life makes it all well worthwhile
