March 2023 As things get more back to normal life goes on here. I still love living in San Diego, no plans to live anywhere else now. Dancing has become a weekly thing with me. meeting with friends at my favorite place on the weekends,,dancing to the music and enjoying time with friends. kids are busy. oldest grandson is now a freshman in high school, played water polo in the fall, now back into baseball mode playing on the freshman team. youngest is in little league so he's playing again. both boys here are into baseball thanks to mom and dad. Still try to get to Tennessee to visit my daughter there. Managed a trip during the Christmas o]holidays again Still trying to decide when and where I might go next since my last trip was cancelled due to covid. I did a little side trip after spending time with a friend in NoCal last spring. Went to Yosemite and Sequoia on the way home. nice little getaway all by myself, never went to either before and since I drove I had the time to do it. Still trying to stay healthy and safe. Life June 2020 This coronavirus pandemic has really thrown us all in a loop. No getting together with friends, very little social interaction, social distancing and facemarks when going out and about, if you are so inclined. I'm so tired of this but see no end in sight. This will certainly be a year to remember. Hopefully everyone in managing to get by without catching it. I'm trying to stay safe here. just walking the neighborhood and keeping my distance from everyone. a few visits with daughter and her family, always keeping in mind to stay 6 feet away or wear a mask. Take care everyone and stay safe. January 2020 Life is still going good for me but there were a few changes, no more man in my life but that's ok. I'm Having a great time with my friends, going out dancing and just getting together. My youngest daughter now lives in Nashville so there will be more trips there in my future. I've got a big trip planned for later this year, Australia and New Zealand with a stop in Fiji. Last year I managed to do 2 cruises. The first through the Panama Canal, on my own. The second to the Mexican Riviera with friends, that one was a blast. 2 trips to Nashville to visit family and stopping in Colorado after the fall trip to visit mom and sister Hit the fall colors in Aspen. . Christmas was spent in Nashville with family. Managed to get tickets to the Grand Olde Oprey at the Ryman so I did a girls night with my daughter. It was certainly interesting. Who knows if anyone interesting is playing there I might just grab some tickets and head there again. Still love living in San Deigo and don't plan on moving again anytime soon. Novemeber 2017 LIfe is good, I've done a bit more traveling, Alaska, New England, Nashville, and trips to Phoenix to visit my daughter and family. I guess you can say I've adjusted to my new single life here in San Diego. I've been busy going to meet ups, making new friends dancing and just enjoying whatever comes my way. I do have a man in my life now, unfortunately he lives in Nashville but we've been able to get together quite a few time ins the past year. Just taking things as they come for now. sorry to have missed the reunion but the timing was off for me. It looked like everyone had a great time. March 2016 Life definitely goes on. The travel bug has hit and I've made several trips in the last 2 years. Portugal, a cruise from Lisbon to Rio and iguazzu falls with a friend. A cruise to Alaska on my own, a trip to New England to se the fall colors, and a cruise to the western Caribbean both as a single. I've also been to Colorado a few times to visit family. My youngest daughter moved to Phoenix in June so there have been a few trips there to visit. Will be heading to the Grand Canyon with the whole family this month. I've also got another Alaska trip planned for May, going solo again. Luckily my oldest daughter is still in town so I see her and the boys often. All of the boys are getting big. Jay is in a computer magnet elementary school, the first in the country. And is now into robotics, he is in second grade, he's also into baseball, so there are many little league games to attend. His brother is 2 ½ and such a cutie, knows the alphabet and can count. Surprised me when he named all the Star Wars characters, talked, and sings a lot. The twins are in kindergarten now. Doing fine, I do wish they were still in town but Phoenix is not to bad to get to, minus driving through the desert, which is much better than driving through LA. Life is good in San Diego. So glad I moved here. I've joined a walking group and walk almost every week at Shelter island. I also joined 2 Meetup groups that get me out and meeting new people, lots of happy hours and dancing there. Started dating again, boy is it different from when we all were younger. Time will tell what might happen there. October 2013 My latest grandson was born on September 19, NIcholas Andrew. Love living in Beautiful San Diego. It now feels like home. LIfe is good. July 2013 Well the boys are all older now, the twins just turned 3 and Jay turned 5. Oh yes, there's another boy on the way, due in September, Jay will be the big brother. I'm enjoying my new life in San Diego. I'm now starting to get out and do more, Making new friends, going out and enjoying life. My house is now complete, well maybe, there's always something else that could be done but it looks good. All painted, insulated and shutters back up. The front has some grass now,(artificial of course). I did buy myself a new car this year, Another first for me. Last October I took a trip to Italy with a frien...Expand for more
