After a picturesque ride from southern to northern California, we reached the Bay Area on Saturday, April 12th. Both traffic and weather all along the way made the trip especially enjoyable. Lots of wild flowers and trees in bloom had us ahhhing and ohhhing. Light traffic made Paul’s job of getting us [...]

Today is the birthday of our youngest grandson, Zane Danger Winchester. He is now six years old, and is the pride and joy of everyone who knows him!

Last night the wind kicked up, and sitting outside in our lawn chairs, gazing at the stars wasn’t an option we elected.

Neither one of us has played an April First joke on one another, and it is 9:00 pm so it doesn’t look as though we are going to celebrate April Fool’s Day appropriately.
