Thinking...

I am going home this weekend, after which has been a really enjoyable three weeks or so, visiting with family and friends. Weather has not been all that great but after all this is winter! Went to Bible Study at Cathy and Pat Sullivan's (my niece and husband) last night. There I met a woman who has relatives in Mokelume Hill where I lived at one time! What a small world and it keeps getting smaller! I recognize the woman's last name and am pretty sure my sister Barbara would have known the family since she lived in the area almost all her life! ( And incidently why I moved there at the time I did!) I am now looking forward to my 90th birthday in February! My children are giving me a birthday party up in Lodi where I now live and have lived for over 35 years and have many relatives and friends! One son, Steve, (my youngest living son) lives in Stockton which is only about 14 miles from where I live. The others are scattered from Arizona to Texas to Ohio to Georgia to California! (One reason that the above location was decided on for my party!) I can hardly wait!!! Time flies by so fast! I was at my son Bill and wife,Wendy's house for lunch on Sunday. I see them all when I come down here as I have for the past several years but their "children" now have children and my oldest Grandaughter"s oldest child, my great-grandaughter is almost ready for High School! She will be going to Bishop Alimany High School where her father went, and where three of my boys and two of my daughter-in-laws graduated from!! And speaking of small worlds, our present Bishop of the Stockton Diocese taught school in Alemany but after my boys and their wives graduated but about the same time my Grandson-in-law went to school there!! Ho-hum! Makes me tired just thinking about it! So I probably won"t write any more till after I'm home on Saturday and see, hopefully, see my newest Great-Grandaughter, Liliana Noelle!!
