randkids (& even my ex) have now all moved within a few miles of us, so we lucked out & see them often. Brother Gary lives up in Tustin (L.A.) an hour away. Parents both gone now, Dad in 2010 & Mom in 2014.
WhatÂs happening now?
Im retired, and we aÂre living in a semi-retirement resort in north San Diego county with a little lake & 2 golf courses. Got a house on a fairway & a golf cart and a little pontoon boat. Two dogs, both Pomeranians, one 13yrs & one 4 mo. Weather here is best in the country, I think. No snow, no freezing temps, no humidity & heat in summer, sort of like Clear Lake for two weeks in spring & fall. Got arthritis & other complaints, but basically life doesnt suck too much (yet).
