Collection 366 – Week 11

Published by Rebecca Raspberry // The Rebecca Project

Lots and lots and lots of rain this week has made it challenging to go on any significant adventures. But, being that California is in the middle of a drought, the rain is very much welcomed.

Baby’s first breakfast burrito 🌯

Had a bit of a panicked moment in the supermarket last Tuesday and not for the most obvious of reasons. As I walked past the empty shelves where the flour used to be, I realised that this would be the only time I was going to the store before Solskjaer’s birthday. I had no ‘party food’, no cake, nothing that would indicate the momentous occasion of my child’s arrival into my life. I had intended to bake him one of the many glorious cakes from the Women’s Weekly Cake Book - that treasured icon that shaped many a birthday party theme in my day - but here I was, not having researched an idea or even having a cake pan. I started thinking about how this was already ending up yet another one of my slap-dash efforts, so I just had to throw my hands up and make it work in a time of crisis. I threw in a cake pan into the trolley, along with some chocolate buttons and Hundreds&Thousands, and knew I could make something edible. Our pizza party on the golf course lasted all of about 120 seconds before the rain arrived, but he literally couldn’t wait for us to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ before he grabbed a piece of my cake-from-a-box effort. It may not have been the cutest little train or bumble bee cake, but he didn’t care. And in the end, neither did I. ❤️ Happy Birthday, my child. May you always retain your kind heart and sweet disposition. And I’ll continue to try to be the best version of myself for you.

And this is where I announce my retirement from photography, having taken the shot that will define my career forever. There is no better single photo that I have ever taken of this little guy that perfectly captures his own brand of cheekiness, confidence, and sweetness. He’s at such a fun age right now and I find myself wanting to hit the pause button for just a little bit. ❤️

Pics from quarantine day 2. Visits to a park (right beside the golf course 🤣), mounds of dirt to hit the golf balls off, and finding lady beetles on the park bench. ❤️

While we are under lockdown, the golf course remains closed. Solskjaer is very unhappy about this and I feel for him. He’s not yet two and he just doesn’t understand. There’s a part of me that is thankful that he doesn’t comprehend what’s going on, even though I tell him each day that we have to stay away from people to help stop a germ from spreading. He may not comprehend what that means either, but I want to be honest with him. But I’m supremely thankful that we are on lockdown. I feel this is the best way we can get a handle on Covid-19 and we are happy to do our bit.❤️

Lockdown is officially enforced in less than an hour here. It’s a surreal time to be living in, but right now I am so thankful to live in a country where the government is switched on and engaged (unlike that of my other homes in the US and Australia) and are taking decisive action to prevent the spread of covid-19. We’ll be on lockdown for a month, maybe more. Today, the golf course was closed. So here’s a throwback to Sunday night, we we had no idea that this haven would not be part of our lives for at least a month. The weather was not too cold and the sunset glorious. And these blokes had such a spring in their steps. ❤️ Stay safe, my whanau. Kia kaha.

G’Day! I’m Rebecca.

G'day! I'm Rebecca, an intrepid Aussie who toddled off one day to travel the world. Now I'm lucky to call both San Francisco and Sydney home. So kick up your feet, settle in and enjoy the bits and pieces of my life in progress.
