Recent California Trip

Me, my sister, and some of my many cousins. I went to Long Beach, California to attend the "family gathering" for my uncle Bob who passed away Nov 2 unexpectedly. My poor dad has lost all 5 of his brothers and has one surviving sister. I was close to my uncle Bob and will sorely miss him. It was a bitter sweet trip.

I spent a day in beautiful La Jolla, near San Diego. It is my favorite beach in California.



Another shot of La Jolla.



I had time to visit my childhood neighborhood. This is a shot looking across the street from two doors down from my house.

The neighborhood looks great. Everyone has updated their homes. It is always fun to go back.

Mr and Mrs Martinez. I lived right next door to them. They are still there from 1958. It was great to visit with them. Wonderful people, they put up with us next door. lol.



Mom and Tom at dinner. We had a very good visit too.

Thanksgiving With The Turkey's

Rick and I had to joy of spending Thanksgiving with Lea, Jeff, and their girls, Madi and Gracie. This was taken just before leaving and I had to have a picture with their new vests and shirts we got them. They are so adorable.

LOVE these turkey's!

It was great to see how happy everyone was to have Gage back.  The girls missed him so bad. And he is loving their new place.

They love their dog.

Looking from the front of their place. They are renting a house north of Moscow, Idaho. It is surrounded with Ponderosa Pines. So beautiful.



Jeff the mighty hunter.
