Honoring & Celebrating

Such a sweet gathering yesterday of north and south to honor and celebrate the life of Paul Vieregge. Seven years ago, I remember attending he and Penny’s 50th wedding anniversary at the same spot. I have lots of photos, and hope to upload some at some point to this post, but I really have a tremendous amount of work over the next few days, PLUS my son is down from Oregon, staying in Monterey for a few days, so I need to get up there to see him. Few “dull” moments in my world right now.


And two of my most favorite ladies: Penny & Peggy.

  • Thanks Kate! Hope to see more when you have time. Once Big Sur and it's great people are in a person's heart...like mine...it's all there forever. I was so sorry to miss this memorial for one of my most favorite people. Paul's spirit and humor live on in my heart & memories.

  • I spent many a summers day and night at Sycamore Canyon with the Vieregge Family. Wonderful memories.

  • Thanks Kate for the pictures it really tells a long story of Buck Creek and its friends
