Good evening everyone!!! Outside Yosemite and we have internet!!! Yay!!! But zero cell service :( Oh well!!
Had a wonderful weekend - got to meet Vickyrun!!! It was so nice to meet you in person!!! I'll get the picture up as soon as I get it off my phone.
Sunday I was able to meet up with another Navy Mom from northeast of Sacramento. Her and I go back to 2008 when Catherine went out to WA!!! We had a really nice Mother's Day brunch in Old Town Auburn, CA!!
Marti_B,
How exciting to get to visit with your daughters and grandchildren soon!!! Enjoy your time and safe travels. Hope you get a chance to meet up with Jean. It didn't work out for her and I when I was out there over Christmas a year ago!!!!
Catsmom,
I'm sure you're getting excited for your trip!!!
Splash,
Oh how I agree!!
BaileysMom,
How was your Mother's Day??
Been worried about Jenn and David recently. They are in Norman, OK right where all these tornados are going through. And they have flooding on top of that!! They've had to head to their neighbor's storm shelter several times in the past few days. Jenn doesn't have a shelter yet, they are expensive!!!! Please keep them in your prayers as we start this tornado season!!!

Good morning all, I did not get a phone call, just an email and a post on FB from Chrissy. She said my gift would be late. I got cards from my other two kids, and I got a text from the youngest. My kids rarely call me. I called my Mother yesterday.
Anna, it was so great to meet you in person. Happy travels to you and your hubby.
Jean, cute book. I love books. Enjoy!

Blondie, I did. The only pain I had was eating to much. My kids took me to brunch at a buffet place. To much food. Aurora gave me a book. Title was How to babysit a Grandma. It is a really cute book.
