I am getting ready to fly to San Diego Monday the 25th of May and go to Yosemite for a actual vacation with 6 of my Grandkids and their moms and dad. Nadia and Justin arranged it all and my little venture into the world of Goldendoodles financed the trip. I am just in a daze as it is like a dream come true.
All my life I wanted to visit that park and I even grew up quite close by. I will be in awe of my surroundings and my grandkids and the wonderful people they are becoming. It is so much all wrapped up into one bundle. I will be gone 10 days. When I come back, I will have to learn how to post all my pictures into one album and put them on my BLOG.
Be prepared!
Hey, I even found out that I have a tent to stay in. Everything is falling into place at the last minute.
So....I am nervous!

Arwen at Easter
I just got these pictures today. She is a busy little girl. It looks like she is trying sign language.
Nadia and team helped me get off the first box of Arwen's school books for next year, I included a few extra books for fun. I still have 1 more box to send if anyone can help. It costs about $55 to send a flat rate box to Europe and it gets there in just under a week. The most important ones are in the mail- probably already there.
She's singing! She is such a brave girl.

Deren da Vinci
Titus and Mia sent this picture. Deren is quite the artist. I thought the likeness is amazing. I love kids drawings.

An Avian Disaster Barely Averted!
Minding his own business, as usual......... Crackers was pounced upon by a maurauding 4 legged beast attempting to access his food supply.

It was a pretty hard day for Calvin. He had to say all his goodbyes to Selena, Jewel, Allen and his mom and all the rest of us. His new family brought us a dozen roses to ease the pain....
Calvin, left, cried all night in his new home. His new owners said no one slept. He did get a clean bill of health at the Vets and a compliment that he was the cleanest and healthiest pup he has ever seen. Now, if he would just sleep!
He kept trying to get away from us all in hopes that he could hide out and reemerge after dark- safe and secure at home.
Fitness is a big deal around here. We run- from the oldest to the youngest. At least the people who participate in dog care that is.....me and and the kids!
And yet another attempt at escape foiled....
So long Calvin.....see you next week! We are boarding him for a few days so it's not all that bad- just a lot of fun moaning and groaning sometimes. Gotta get attention somehow!
