Happy February to Everyone! Yesterday my family went to Knotts Berry Farm, a theme park in SoCal and I got to give Snoopy a big hug! My girls have also finally disclosed that my "secret" birthday present is a wine tasting weekend at the end of the month! Be sure to hug your favorite people on Valentine's Day.

Happy March to Everyone! It's rainy and cold is SoCal, but Spring is right around the corner! With all the rain the flowers are blooming and looking wonderful. My birthday Wine Tasting weekend got postponed due to my daughter's accident, but we're going this month for sure, and the party keeps growing.

Happy April to Everyone! It has finally stopped raining in SoCal! The sun is shinning and the flowers are blooming. Easter is a special time for my family and the grandkids are looking forward to the Family Easter Present Hunt. But more than a time of presents and candy, Easter is a time of reflection the gift that God has given to us - the gift of his Son.

Happy August to everyone! Stay cool, drink something tall and frosty and read a good book! A lot is happening with my family this month. Our last ski trip with friends and family happened the first week and was a blast! Then our Church is having a family camp - tents, sleeping bags and outdoor cooking. Totally not my scene. We're renting a cabin! Finally, my kiddos start school.

Hello October! We bought a "Project Trailer" and are stripping it and fixing it up. Actually My husband and I are providing storage and two of my daughters are providing the work and will probably use it the most. Camping: Been There, Done That. I would rather stay in a hotel! Lots of grandkids playing lots of sports, busy Saturdays. Halloween will find us on the walk streets in Hermosa Beach. It is one giant block party with fun, food, family and friends.

Happy New Year to everyone! We spent a quiet night and I'm recovering from a nasty cold and lacked the energy to do anything! It is also rainy and cold for SoCal - in the 40's last night and low 50's today. Bonus, we have lots of snow in the local mountains!
At the end of the month, I hit the big 7-0! 🎂 My girls are planning something, but they aren't telling!
To all my book friends - have a healthy, prosperous, joyful New Year! 🎉
