My husband and I feel very fortunate that we have such wonderful family. Our daughters have grown up and are now independent and living the life they want. Their children are thriving.

We had a wonderful day! And your evening turkey sandwich sounds scrumptious! As does hot egg nog with brandy! Yum.

The Channel Islands are constantly changing and not always for the better. I do consider them a challenge!

I know full well how much I would miss California if I had to move.

Actually, we're not related at all! Maybe by marriage; her oldest son and our oldest daughter are married. But they live far away and have no taste for travel.

Glad you enjoyed the photos! I had a blast taking them.

You got that right! We're pretty far-flung so get-togethers like this one only happen a couple times of year.

We make the most of it!

Every day, I am grateful for how good my life has been, and still is. I've had terrible things happen, but all they do is remind me of how good everything else is.

It's a good way to see the world.

And we sure did have a wonderful day!

I think it goes back to marrying the right person who has helped me grow and learn. All else has come from that point.

Believe me, if I were any more relaxed, I'd be a puddle on the floor!

Today is mine, and I'm lovin' it.
