What a whirlwind trip!\u00a0 I got my dental implant put in, the 2 appointments being the bookends for my 3 week stay in California.\u00a0 I was able to get down to my sister\u2019s in So. Calif. and spend some time with her.\u00a0 We talked and laughed and did a lot of emptying of drawers and closets at our stepmom\u2019s; and then the sorting started.\u00a0 Lots of stuff, files and photos, lots of choices about what to keep for business and what to keep for sentimental reasons.<\/p>\n

My sister delighted with a photo of the cousins<\/p><\/div>\n

I was blessed by being able to visit with dear friends throughout my trip, some coming to me as I cared for Mom \u2013 thank you Mike & Mindy, Launa & Robin, and Sue Mc-S, and then as I drove to and from So. Calif., thank you Launa & Steve & fam, Carol & Vernon, Lynn & Thea, and by happenstance, Dave & Modesto Cov peeps.\u00a0 We look forward to a couple of weeks in California in July to see more friends and family again.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your prayers over my stepmom\u2019s passing and for my travels. I definitely had angels watching over me on my return home; I almost missed my flight!<\/p>\n

The contrast of leaving chilly gray and brown Indiana and walking into California colorful spring was wonderful.<\/p>\n
