Seattle or Bust

I found myself lucky enough to go to Seattle with my friend Bernice.

We went there for "work"

I think there was more play then work.

But hey that was so not our fault..

We had dinner at the Space Needle

Went on a Duck Tour around the city.
Beautiful!

Bernice in the Lobby of the hotel.

I was amazed at all the beautiful flowers. The colors

were unbelieveable.

Then yet another Facebook reunion!

The Perkins family.

Steve, Cara, Melodie.

They took me out for a great breakfast.

It was really the highlight of the trip!

( I use to babysit Cara)

Labor Day Girls Road Trip

I love that Natalie and Nikki like to hang with their Annie.

We had a great road trip to Bishop over Labor Day Weekend.

Our friend Robin was brave enough to come along! I think

she loved every minute of it.

Walking around Main Street and acting like tourists.



One of the highlights of the trip was having some more Facebook Reunions.
Mom and Pop Owen. I spent a lot of time at their house during High School
and then again when I was in Lancaster.. Love them to death!





Yvonne my BFF from HS and still 25 years later.



Then of course there was the Inyo County Fair.

Craig Thornburg and I catching up after 26 years.

I was his and Todd's gum supplier through HS.

And yes I had a purse full for the reunion.

The Destruction Derby. Still the highlight of fair time.

Nikki with her new Cousins Jordan and Danielle.

Ah Tina my little "sister" with her cute kiddos

Jordan and Owen.

Robert, Tina and Me..

Love them! So glad we are still family after all these years.

Then the best part is Mamma Kay!

She is the real reason for all my trips

home to Bishop. Don her husband

is a great guy and I love them both!



I love going home as often as I can.

I am glad the girls were with me and

put up with all my "visiting" with friends.

One picture I never seem to get is one

with Lorrel Mclaughlin. She is very

dear to me and I have lunch with her

everytime I am in town. Thanks Lorrel!

Facebook Reunion in Vegas

Holly, Kristen, Michele, Me.

Facebook has been a fun thing for me. Finding old friends from Highschool and keeping track of friends all over the place.

Well for my Birthday Michele was kind enough to arrange a trip to Vegas for us.

We had a great time catching up and spending the day at the spa!

It was perfect.

Thanks Michele!

Quick Trip To California

Roberta and Jennifer Roberta and Beth

Our old house in Lakewood CA.




So shortly after getting home from Hawaii I was on the move again
to California. The time had come that Roberta (my step-mom) needed to be
moved in to a Nursing home.. Her Alzheimer's is getting worse and she no
longer can stay in her home. So Jennifer and I met up with our step-brother Greg
and tried to get the house in order..BIG and I do mean BIG job. We ended up
hiring an Estate Company to come tackle the task.

So we found ourselves with a little free time. We headed down to Huntingbeach where
Roberta is now living. It is a really nice place and her sister Nancy is only about 10 mintues away. Nancy takes great care of Roberta which is a great thing since all of us kids
live so far away. On the way there we had a few "remember when" moments.
We drove thru the old neighborhood. I was amazed that Jennifer was able to get us there.

Then we headed over to Lake Elsinore to see our cousin Rob and check out the golf course where
he works..

Even though I had some hard moments being at Dad and Roberta's and going more of thier things it was a great trip.



Then it was on to Vegas........ More to come.

Hawaiian Sunsets

Need I say more?

We have some beautiful sunsets here in Utah

but I have never seen anything like the ones

I have seen in Hawaii.. Magical!!!!!!!

Pearl Habor

You can not visit Hawaii and not take time to go to Pearl Harbor.

They take you out to the actual sight of the USS Arizona

They ask you to be quiet and reverent like when there.

(Some did not heed to that)

Over 900 sailors were buried with the ship.

We put flowers into the water in memory of our Parents

and those that were gave of their lives all those years before and now.
