California was wonderful ...

here we are with the whole family ...

Sydney, Katelyn, Kerry and behind them Joe and John, then Stan and Susan and me ...


We had a lovely day at the lavender farm ...

 At my favorite Lighthouse, Point Loma in San Diego, we had a wonderful meeting with some people we have known for a long time online and now have finally met in person.


On the right, I am being presented with a gold Thomas POint Lighthouse. John was the gifter but it was presented by Bill Younger, the founder of "Harbour Lights"

From the left ...

Kim Fahlen, Stan, me, Harry Hine, Gary and KAthleen Pence, David and Peggy Dutcher and John Chidester  and sitting in front Bill and Nancy Younger.

We had some lovely times with Sue and John and the fire was just wonderful ... I think I might give Stan a Fire Pit for Christmas

And I learned to quilt ... must make more of that, especially now I have my new sewing machine!
