Aunties are special

Yesterday was a sad day for my mom and I. My wonderful Auntie who was 94 years old went to be with the LORD. We are happy that she is no longer suffering as she was in poor health for a number of years, but it is still difficult to lose her. I have been blessed with so many wonderful Aunties. Aunt Mil (who died yesterday) and my Aunt Blanche and my Aunt Edna are the last remaining Aunties that I have. Aunt Edna is 98, Aunt Blanche is 96 and my dear mom is 90...the baby! These pics were taken in the Summer of 07..the last trip we made to Colorado to see them all. The first one, left to right is Aunt Mil and Aunt Edna and the next photo is my sweet mom and her sister Blanche. I love them all so much and will miss you Aunt Mil!

Minnesota with Mom

I am just back from a short trip to Minnesota with my adorable mother. Her grand daughter (actually step grand daughter) got married last Saturday at Breezy Pt. It's a beautiful lake resort in Northern Minnesota (burr!!). Cathy, the bride, her sister and their mom absolutely LOVE my mom. Cathy cried when she saw my mom and said that it made her wedding! How sweet is that? I am so fortunate to have my mom living close by and we had a wonderful time being together for 5 straight days!

Skeeter

Tonight Skeeter was awarded a Proclamation from the Mayor and City Council of Newport Beach for his heroism and selfless courage when he saved a 9 and 7 year old along with a surf instructor who was attempting to save them before Skeeter and John Moore arrived on the scene. We are sooooo proud of you! (You can read the article that was in the paper after the rescue above)
