February, 2025
I'm working on it.
We took a road trip up the California coast to San Luis Obispo for a grandkid soccer tournament and my birthday dinner at a wonderful restaurant on the beach in in Pismo Beach. Everyone went home after the weekend and hubby and I went on to Cambria and a rainy day at Hearst Castle. From there we went across the state to the California Gold Country and my brother-in-law's home in Columbia, California where we spent five days with my niece and her family visiting from Australia. Sunday was a Super Party with 30 friends and family. Glad to be home.
My list is a work in progress.

April 2025
The Baseball/Softball season is in full swing (pun intended) and swim is wrapping up this month. Grammy is a busy woman. Next week I'm heading off on a 4-day Mexican cruise with my daughter and granddaughter. It will be their first cruise and lots of fun activities are planned. My church choir is performing a wonderful Easter Cantata on Palm Sunday and the family is gathering for our annual Easter Present Hunt on Easter.
