Busy times

It’s very hard to believe that we have been here in Acton, CA for 2 weeks already but its true.  Tomorrow morning we leave and start heading back to Livingston, Texas to take care of some business there. 
The only bad thing about this park is that it is a little far away from everywhere we need to be.  It’s 20 miles down the freeway to Santa Clarita where we have seen Ed’s brother and our karaoke buddies, Terry and Sharon.  Last Wednesday we had a very nice dinner with Jim and Debbie.  Debbie is a great cook and dinner was wonderful.  Then on Thursday it was Sharon who cooked and it was great also.  Friday we drove another extra 30 miles to Northridge to son Terry’s house.  They had there annual St. Patrick’s Day party and party we did!! Great food!! Saved me from cooking corned beef this year!! Daughter Stacy and her family was here also, so Saturday we were on a quest to find a prom dress for 17 year old granddaughter Ciera.

Then it was on to the mall.
Four stores and with the help of Mom, Grandma and Aunt Sarah, Ciera finally found the perfect dress.  She didn’t want long and she didn’t want poofy.

       Winner!!



Sunday we had a big storm come through here.  It’s been cold and rainy just about every day since.  Tuesday we had one more dinner with son Terry and wife Sarah.  Wednesday we drove another 96 miles south to Laguna Hills to have dinner with Ed’s sister Jeannie and husband Bill.  Thursday it was dinner and karaoke night with Terry and Sharon. Friday it was dinner with Ed’s brother Jim and wife Debbie. 
The two weeks have flown by.    It’s been great to see everyone again, but I am really ready to start traveling where it is warm again.

This is what we have been looking at since last Sunday’s storm. 

Of course, the weather for next week is predicted to be in the 70’s!!!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

We are  in Acton, California staying at the Thousand Trails park.   This park is not one of the best we have stayed at, but its about 20 minutes away from Santa Clarita, where we used to live.  We are spending time visiting family and friends. 

Today, I need to catch up on laundry.  Funny how the clothes don’t clean themselves!

Have a great day and don’t forget to wear your green!!
