JAN 2017

So January has been relatively quiet. Spending time watching 12 year old soccer 14 year old high school wrestling spending time with Jonathan and shopping. Joanee went to Florida to visit her sister and to have the unveiling since it's already a year since her passing. Only spending a week there but Karen is taking good care of her and being a very gracious hostess and a really nice person. So glad we hooked up with her again after so many years she has a lot of fun with her and enjoy each other's company. Spent most of the time in Acton California with the last few days hooked up to Jonathan 50 amp service at his house so my apartment is right outside their front door. Very convenient for dinner visiting and seeing the kids and Jonathan and family have been very warm and very comfortable with my being here. Picking joanee at LAX on the 31st and heading south for a few weeks. Will be about 40 minutes from Vinny olivieri and have been invited to celebrate his baby's second birthday with them my bud Vinny will be there looking forward to seeing them all. He's in Irvine California. Moving on to February and hope that all reading this had a good start to 2017

DECEMBER 2016

December starts in California.  Spending time with Jonathan and family this month staying in Acton California campground.   Staying cold and unseasonably dingy for southern Cal. Finding new restaurants and places to visit in Santa Clarita,  Palmdale and Lancaster. Great visits with the grandkids waiting for them to spend a week with us while Jonathan and Cindy are cruising the Caribbean.  Moved up to a Campground in Santa Barbara between SB and Solvang.  Visited Solvang, really good cheese shop and bakery in town.   No WiFi or cell service at this CG so we are moving back to Acton close to kids.  

Spent a wonderful evening at Ellen's home for chanukah.   Kids getting ready for their cruise in a few days.   We picked up the grandkids Saturday and they are staying with us for almost a week,  have to make plans so they aren't bored.  Keeping a couple of young teenagers {12&14} busy is a full time job.  Thank goodness Joanee enjoys playing games to keep the gd's occupied.   New years with the grandkids,  noisemakers,  hats  and a new york feed on TV so we can get to bed early.  Kids up to celebrate California News Years.   End of year here so wishing all a happy, healthy  new year and to be continued in 2017.
