DH's dream was to spend our retirement traveling... and he's getting his wish this year! It seems we've been away almost as much as we've been home this year. February had us in Colorado for DGS's 4th birthday, then an emergency trip back when DD ran into complications with her pregnanacy and I stayed for 2 1/2 weeks to take care of her and DGS until the baby arrived 6 weeks prematurely. Then a third trip so that DH could meet the new baby. A week later we were off to spend a week in Massachusetts where we helped DGD celebrate her 3rd birthday. When our 2 daughters (one living in MA and the other in CO) each had only one child and no plans to have more, we told them that we'd like to come visit each grandchild on his/her birthday. Since then they have each had one more so we're up to 4 birthday trips a year, plus Thankgiving which we do on a rotating basis. We're heading down to Tampa later this month for a BAT MITZVA and then will continue on to the east coast of FL to visit more family.

I enjoy reading your postings when I can get on a computer... sorry I can't post more often.

Ruth Ann, it's always nice to hear from you. I envy your & DH's travel! Mine doesn't like to travel, so I go with friends or alone, which I often prefer.

At one time I also visited small towns near here spending the day much as you & your friend do. So glad you mentioned it since it's been awhile...we'll do that next!

Hope you'll be around 'til you leave at the E.O.M. Cal
