Violet's Story
Update - July 2014. Well, I am pretty well settled now in the city of Irvine, CA. I've taken a trip to Texas again because my daughter there had a broken ankle, and I stayed about 6 weeks during the time she had to wear a cast. I'm now going to Saddleback Church. Rick Warren is the Minister, and I like him as he is down to earth, tells it like it is, and makes the Bible relative to everyday life. I'm also taking a Screenwriting Class at Irvine Valley College. I want to make my book into a movie, and need to learn screenwriting in order to do that. It is very interesting so far. I'm also going to Silver Sneakers twice a week, got to get some exercise in there somewhere. After the senior exercise class, I go swimming and really enjoy that. The weather here is great, I will never go back to Michigan winters!
Update - September 1, 2013. A lot is happening this year. I visited my daughter and her famiily in Texas, and my son and his family in Michigan. Now I am getting ready to move to a different city in California closer to my other son. I've lived in this house for 20 years, so it will be quite a change. It is fun, though, almost like starting over. It doesn't have a very big yard, but has a nice patio, so I am taking about 6 large pots of plants with me, and plan to get a fountain for the patio, and some small trees so ...Expand for more
that I won't miss my yard here. This new house is a cottage style, close to parks and pools, the Senior Center with lots of class and activities, and great shopping centers, so I'm looking forward to it.
Update -- Happy New Year 2013! Here I am, still plugging along. I've had 2 shoulder surgeries, 2 knee replacements, but I'm feeling fine and getting around good. I'm no longer working at Disneyland, but I visit my daughter in Texas, my son in Michigan, and my son that lives near me in California. I still like to garden, and am active in that as well as baking, cooking, and lots of church potlucks.
New Message - New Year 2009.
A lot has happened in my life. My husband Cliff had a stroke in June 2008, was hospitalized until his death in November of 2008. So 2008 was not a very good year. I had started work at Disneyland, so continued that. What a happy place to work! Parades, fireworks, Disney characters walking around. I work in Plaza Inn Restaurant at Minnie's Character Breakfast, and love to see all the kids and their parents and the delight they get from the characters coming to their tables. I am now on a medical leave from there as I am having shoulder surgery for a torn rotator cuff, so I'm not looking forward to that. I'm getting good at gardening with one arm, though. I will attach photos of my yard and flowers.
