What a surprise .

Tony on Break. He does look happy there.

This is Mario! A fun little dog.


he is so cute with his toys.
Mario has a toy on the shelf he can't play with now , so he just sits & looks at it & wines.

This is only part of my trip. I do hope you enjoy it.

We went for a long ride up the coast & around the mountain.

The beaches are so different in Ore. than they are in Fl.


The seaweed is so pretty.



We had great times at home too. We laughed & talked about so many things.

Dee had soars on his face Katrina put ointment on it so he had to have pony tails.

One day up the river, the Chetco river. Dee stayed in the car then , the rocks were to hard on his feet. He said it was good for him watching us enjoy the river.

A large & small patch of clover.It wouldent be hard to find four leaf clovers there.

The water is so clear in the river,this is moss under the water.



They were so happy there. Katrina is going to stay there. It is a beautiful place to be.

Dee & I on the beach the first week I was up in Oregon with him.

Dee

Well I went from Tex. to Ore. What a great trip it was. Dee was sick but still able to get around some. We talked about so many things. Up to all hours of the night remembering the good times we had so many. We spent one day going .up along the Chetco river. Katrina did all the driving she was so great. We went to see some friends of theirs they were just moving in. Their home is up on the mountain, you could see down to Crescent City Cal.& up to Gold Beach Ore. Being Dee he couldn,t help but point out things that were put in wrong. he couldn,t help it where ever he went.
We went to the beach more than once he would sit in his chair & watch us walk on the beach.While I was there they found a new place to live. He was so happy to be in a better place.I was there for 3 weeks & for some reason I felt I had to go home. It was hard to say good bye. I cried all the way home.Watching him walk out of the airport in Crescent City was so hard.that view flashes on me off & on.
He has been away from me for a long time, him in Ore. Me in Salt Lake.we talked on the phone all the time, that is what I will miss. At the end of our talk he would always say, I love you mom in away that made me feel it right through the phone. I love all my kids & hold every moment with them in my heart. Don't take any time with anyone for granted. Love to all, Grama

April 21 to Aug.3

Well I have been here in Florida all this time. While I was here we had visits from Frank, Eddie, Nita, & the kid's,Eric,Lisa & the boy's, & Mary Ellen. I went to St.Augustine 3 different times. We had alot to see there.
Each time I went,it was with someone new.I got to see so many different things.
We went to the beaches,all the kids played in the ocean.I went in too,not very far. I had fun sitting in the water, letting the little fish nibble at my feet & legs. I caught one of the fish in Brittons little boat.We all got shells to take home.
The older kids fun going down to the pond & bring home frog's.
I helped Saundra & Brian put in their new lawn. It was alot of work. It was fun too. She has great friends & neighbors. They all came & helped. It really looks good.

Everyone that came to visit did things for S.&B. Brian's Mom & I had tons of fun together. We stayed home with Charlie when S.&b. had to go to Ill. Maggie went home Tue. this week. Now I am leaving Tue. next week.We both have things to do at home,or where I land. I am going to Texas to be with my family there.
We all need to keep Brian & Saundra in our hearts & prayers. I love all of you, but leaving here is so very hard. I love & need all of you.

Frank is visiting in Fl. & having a great time. It is so hot here we don't go out much. Went to St.Augustine Fl. Oldest city in America. We went to the Light House.
He will have pictures when he goes home. I will put some on when I can. We have had a lot of laughs. He met Brian on sat. when he & Saundra got home from Chicago. They went there to see some one new about his cancer. the tumors are getting smaller. We won't know much for a while thought.
Frank & Brian are watching a movie right now. Last night we stayed up & watched Big Bang Theory. Frank had not watched them before.they laughed a lot. I will be one Frank's shows to watch now.
It will be 2 months since I got here. We put in a new lawn,it is growing nicely.
we have a few brown spots in it. we have been getting a lot of rain. It is helping.
It is so hot here. Like 97 feels like 110. Even the Lizard's don't come out after 10 am.
I do hope every one had a very Happy Father's Day. Love to all Grama.

Retirerment

Retirement is great, but I do miss going to work. I did love my job. & all the people I worked with. I miss seeing my grandkids & doing things with them.
