Farewell for now Aunt Dale

This past week was a sad and happy week.
My sweet Aunt Dale passed away. As she moves on and meets with her son Allen and the rest of the family on the other side.
She will be so missed here, However the reunion is the best to see those who have passed before her. As I was up north with my family and watching my Dad. It made me sad that he is watching his family get smaller.
He is so amazing to me, he has a strong heart (which seems to be a Diaz thing). I am so thankful that he was willing to drive Aunt Honey and Uncle David. Since we know that we are all getting to an age where we can't do what we used to, and they are no able to make these long drives..
It also was a happy time for all those who were able to visit with each other. I am thankful for that time to renew our family spirit and laugh together. It's fun to see the growth in our family as the next generation grows and marries and has children.
While we were together Lisa and I counted 32 cousins. (3 have passed on). Wouldn't be be wonderful if we had s cousins reunion.
A time to visit and share stories and love together. If you have any ideas please pass them along. Now I am back to the work world. But my heart is still with my family. Love to all

As many of you now know we have bought a new home. We are really going to miss our house on the hill. We didn’t plan this, however life happens and the trust is thinking about selling the houses on hill once Sid passes away. Our sweet Sid is now 95 years old. So as his sunsets and ours is still mid sky, after much prayer. We decided to house hunt. We found this cute little 3 bedroom home in the heart of Lemon Grove. We have always liked Lemon Grove and are happy to return. It is 4 miles east from Beck Hill. It has all that we need a craft room and a guest room. The kitchen is workable and has lots of space and a garage for Ernie. Plus a nice size yard fro his garden and for the Tata to play in. It is close to shopping and the trolley. That is good just in case we want to ride it to Mexico or games or downtown. Lots of parking and a place for Ernie to put the Razorback Hogs at Christmas. Earlier if they are winning. The new address is 8107 Palm St. Lemon Grove, CA 91945. W

Mountian Fun

It's getting into Nov. And Ernie and took our trip to Oak Glen for apples. This year we took Milaeka with us. She really knows her apples. Even at 5 years old. It was a wonderful trip and yes the apples were great. We even brought home a bushal. Loads of shopping and fun. While we were gone, Katalina and Kimo had come to visit. They have sure grown up. They came back to San Diego to dance. Most of you will remember them coming to the Christmas Eve party and dancing for us. I sure miss the K Kids. It's hard to believe that are now almost all out of high school. Then after Katalina and Kimo flew back to Mo. Ernie and I took off for Big Bear Lake. No phones and lots of rest. We did manage to have dinner with Heather and Jon Teysko. What a fun time laughing with them. This was the first time we were able to hang out with them since they got married. We are so thankful that they were willing to drive from Crestline to Big Bear. You all know that if we pla

As I was walking across the restaurant , I heard my name and to my surprise there was Shay and Debra. We met them last year on our last cruise. Ernie and I were so surprised and delighted. Also joining us were Bill and Cindy Teysko . They are wonderful and dear friends for the last 20 years. So the begins, Day one dancing and song and fun had just began. Day two Ernie and Bill let Cindy and I sleep in while they walked around the deck of the ship. I did get some time out by the pool and in the sun. Then it was off to Name that tune and Sports Trivia. Country line dancing and the marriage game. We all dressed up for dinner and can I just say Yum. The next day we arrived in Cabo San Lucas, We took the Land and Sea tour; Off on a boat we went to see the arches and lovers beach. To Land's End.
