This is my trip to San Francisco to see Becky. We are in her yard with all her plants and a little ray of sunshine. That's Becky! We spent the morning delivering food to shut-in folks through a Salvation Army program. Lots of walking but the people are happy to see you and they are thankful for the hot meals. We then took a bus to the east edge of Golden Gate Park and rented bikes and rode the length of the park to the Pacific Ocean. It was sort of cold and overcast at the shore and the pic show that. The ride back was mostly uphill but very pretty as we passed lakes, pine tress and lots of green areas. Then over to our pal Santi's house for some corned beef, potatoes and cabbage with chocolate cake for dessert. I am tired!!!!

Check this out-tomatoes! It may be a small pic but we are stoked. These are even more special since last year Matthew helped me plant tomatoes right in this place. Matthew-your green thumb lives on. Raeden you were still in a carrier when we planted but you were watching! There are about 20 on these 2 plants and they were so good tonight with our grilled steaks, rice and veggies.

Summer is here!

Just a little update. Vickie is done teaching but has a little cleaning to do in her room so that she can be done for the summer. She is having fun with our new Macbook laptop, It does so many things that we need to learn. Our big goal is to get our beautiful grandkids and family pix sort of organized. Good luck! I am done bus driving for the summer and am sort of sad to end this chapter. I had great but energetic students with lots of personality. We have lots of home projects to catch up on so that will be a big job. A visit to Becky in San Francisco is planned. Also have a visit to our Wisconsin family the second week in July will be great and then to Niagara Fall with John and Mary at the end of the month. It looks almost too busy but we find time to just chill and rest-old people need rest-HA!

Sitting in the dirt up in Anza with the flowers! One of my favorite tee shirts with a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge. Our daughter Becky lives in that beautiful city and we love going to see her and her friends, always a good time! Over ten years ago my son Jonathan and I rode across the bridge on the way down the coast highway. We took seven days but it was amazing! Vickie was our support staff as she set up camp and kept us alive with great meals.

Grammy and wildflowers in Anza, Ca. Our little piece of dirt is covered with purple and yellow flowers. Vickie enjoys them soooo much. They are everywhere and have been for months.
