Part 2 Mothers day reunion --May 2010




Dear Family and Friends..
Well, I am finally in the mood to get this trip journaled...only 4 months later...summer was very busy...and just didn't get to it...and ran into some posting problems with my style of blogging...I just couldn't get something right on the post and it wouldn't post ...so started all over from scratch...and included a movie also...
I think I left off where we were leaving San Clemente and family and headed back to San Luis Obispo to drop off TJ...and then we drove all the way home the rest of the day and arrived home (me and Loretta) at about 1 pm in the morning...we were pooped. I had the next day off and Loretta and I bounced around town shopping at a few stores... and did some cooking for dinner that night. Mack was working all day....but he was really glad that we got back.
the next day Wednesday..I had to work..so Loretta had a day to catch up on her rest alone here and when I got off we all enjoyed dinner and a evening together...and then that night Loretta and I got up early in the morning and took off for Amtrak in Dunsmuir and got Loretta on the train again early in the morning and she stopped in Eugene to see her longtime friend Marianne Gamboni...for 1 night and then she proceeded on home on the train and Bob picked her up at the train stop in Olympia...it was a long long trip for her...and she was happy to have gone on the outing for a week while it has been a long road for her this year.
So we all got back to our lives and in our prospective homes and yet we shared a grand time of all being in one spot again after all these years...We plan to do it all again next time in Colorado in 2 years at Margie & Ken's! Wow! can't wait to see us all gather ---many old memories shared and hugs given to all!
Miss you all so much...lets all stay in touch much more! It truly was the best memory this year for our family.
Hugs & Prayers,
BJM

May 2010 Mother's Day Reunion




Dear Family and Friends...
I haven't given up on Blogging...I love it so much...just have been overly given into what life has been full of...Living!...Working...Vacationing also! So, I have to back track a few months...Think I left off around May or so. That was our big event to see all our relatives in San Clemente at Bobby & Jerry's Beach house there!
It was fabulous and quite a exciting weekend there....but before I even got there...my Vacation started here at home...because Nancey Joy Lyden...Bonnie Jo's Godmom came up to visit us here for the first weekend here. It was a grand visit with her and we spendt time doing some good visiting...talking and taking pictures...visiting her relatives in Medford...and having Dinner here with Mack each night...Then Eric came down Sunday night with his good friend Steve..and spendt half a day visiting with us...and then we took off the next morning -- Tuesday and took Nancey back to Sacramento Airport and then I continued on down south to see Teresa Jo and of course my grand dog (Skitto). Spendt 3 days there and then took her with me (hi-jacked her really) and off we went on a great adventure together! We all met down there and just had a time of our lives catching. The group was Me, TJ, Loretta, Kristen, Dianne, Jasmine, Bobby Jo and Tooty, and Margie (from Colorado)...It had been since Mom died that we all were together last...so it was long, long overdue. We shopped downtown each day...walked to the beach...went swimming...took tons of pictures...which I will share here....and laughed and caught up on old times and memories. What a grand time and was so good for all of our souls.
Our whole trip was exciting and I am so very grateful that it all went smoothly during the whole time. Bobby Jo just do so much taking care of all the details and shopping etc...and making us all feel comfortable. I got home just in time to return to the work schedule again...and felt like I never even missed a beat. But knew that I had been refreshed with fun and family memories!.. We all shared pictures and I still have to make a photo slide show with them. I am still pretty far behind in doing things...but will get to it soon. So that ends Part one of vacations this year...Part two will be next ....hopefully in a few days.
Hugs & Prayers,
BJM
