Meet Henry

 This is Henry.  We met while walking a couple of years ago.  A couple of times a week our timing works and we pass each other on Garden Grove Blvd.  We stop for a second, say hi, usually exchange a hug, ask how each other is doing, and then we are off.  But as I walk away, I have a smile on my face and my step seems to be quicker.  Greeting him makes me happy.  

Is it spring?!

 Our weather has been so crazy this year...in the low 60's on day...and three days later, it's in the high 80's.  Our plants don't know what to think!  So, I have lots of flowers in bloom already, and my yard looks beautiful.

Tokyo Marathon

 Kathy and her sister, Sherry, ran the Tokyo marathon today.  Every time she does this, I am amazed.  She trains for months just for this one day.  And she says she loves it, which I find really hard to believe.  This year, she had a great cheering section, her sis-in-law, Cami, her neighbors, the Williams, and of course Todd.  After the race, they made their way to Disneyland, Tokyo version, where they spent a couple of days.

Happy Birthday Emma and Wyatt

 This was an odd birthday for these two!!  It was actually on two different days!!  Because of the time difference, Emma's birthday was on her 27th, but that was actually our 26th.  We were able to facetime and got everyone one the call.  I'm glad they will be home next year...or at least on the same continent!  Maybe some us here in California and some in Utah.

Anyway, happy 20th birthday to my favorite twins.  I love you both bunches.

Happy Birthday Owen

 Happy 16th birthday, Owen.  I'd say sweet 16 and never been kissed...but that would be a lie!!

After watching him play volleyball at Etiwanda, we went to BJ's where Owen got his own birthday pazooki.  Then it was home for presents and cake.  Hopefully, a drivers license is coming on Friday!!

Aunt Agnes

 I'm not sure how this picture came up on my computer, but I'm glad it did.  Aunt Agnes and her girls were our only family is Southern California for many years.  We spent Christmases and Thanksgivings and Easter breakfasts together.  And she was a great friend to mom.  There were many times that they would meet at Knots Berry Farm, or Disneyland and just people watch.  Mom really missed her when she moved up to Oregon to be closer to Missy.

Buurrr!

 Yep!  Too cold for the Cali girl to go walking!!
