Lovers Point, Pacific Grove was a favorite spot for Phil and I. We lived a block away for a few years, it was where we watched the sun rise, walked Judy and just hung out on the beach. I have 1000's of photos of Lover's Point, sunrises, beach goers and my crystal ball. I have lost 4 or 5 crystal balls in the surf there. Most beautiful place to watch the sun come up. The most beautiful memories. By the ocean is where we wanted to be and it continues to be the place I need to be. We fell in love with Pacific Grove, Phil and I were at home here.
Seagulls take baths as the tide waves in and out. The scenery changes everyday, I notice something new or different everyday. I love nature and I couldn't be happier for the few hours that I'm walking.
There are two beaches both are lovely in their own way.
Phil and I would climb out onto the rocks to the other side, where whale swam by and you could hear the blows. When the fishing boats are out there you can hear them yelling to one another. Hopeless romantic! I can hear, feel and see it when I think about it.
Two statues grace the park. I love both. Pacific Grove is known as a Butterfly City because we are visited by Monarch butterflies on their migration. The numbers have been down in the last few years.
There is a breakwater, it has a history and you can see and feel it around you. In the summertime the park and beaches fill up. When I walk early in the morning, there will be very few people. I love the quiet.
The swan boat was used as a rental glass bottom boat in the distant past.
The Beach House Restaurant is lovely and you can't beat the views.
The very first time that Phil and I came to Pacific Grove we partied at Latitudes which was a cute bar with unbelievable views. We had a wonderful time and decided that this was the place for us. We would move here about a year after we made the decision. Phil and I were more than happy with life here. I love and embrace all the wonderful memories here. The building has been empty for a few years now.....time for something fun there.
Black oystercatchers, always pretty in the gray skies.
A hummingbird flew up looked me in the eye and landed in front of me. Life is mystical, magical wonderfulness. Even in the depths of sadness I find life incredible. It is possible to feel many emotions at once. I believe that to be the human experience. I am on this ride and I'm just letting it take me where I'm going.
For Phil:
I stand at Lovers Point and just remember......
This is Phil a few days before his first seizure. I see how thin he was and it makes me feel uncomfortable. The year before he was diagnosed, was the best year, we had fun and enjoyed traveling in the van. He told me he had no regrets that he had loved our life together and we had done everything he had wanted to do. We traveled, we partied and we lived life to the fullest. No regrets just wonderful memories.
