Yep, I'm really having a tough time blogging this year.

This month has gone by sooooo fast. We went on a trip for 10 days.  First, we visited our oldest son,
Rocky in Mobile,Alabama.  Then we flew to Oakland to visit our youngest son, Greg and his wife, Heidi. 
Rocky was moving across town.....so we were his moving crew. I did much better this time, since the last time I had heat stroke and laid in bed for 2 hours while Jay and Rocky did all the work. Yes, I was much more useful this time...:) 
After we helped Rock move, we took a little trip down to Pensecola, FL.  The beach there is so nice and the water was warm!  We just don't have warm watered beaches in the West.  So we laid out and swam for a bit and then went back to Mobile and watched a movie.
We had a great time with Rock.  Jay even got to do a little golfing w/him. 
But then it ended all too soon and we spent a day in Airports heading to Oakland, CA.
Greg & Heidi picked us up and drove us down to Monterrey, CA. that same day.  We spent a couple
days there - relaxing and visiting friends (Stuart & Carma Dong) and eating.  Man, we had some good meals there.   Jay & Greg were able to play Golf-and Heidi & I took long walks on the beautiful beach.
Then we drove back up to Oakland and went to Heidi's graduation from The Academy of Art in San Fransisco.  They treated us so well and took us into the big City to eat and watch another movie. Then on our last day there, we ended up in San Fransisco Park by Golden Gate.  Greg & Heidi had reserved a Segway tour for us.  It really was much more fun then I thought it would be.  I will post some pics of us on our Segways at the bottom of this blog.  We spent over two hours just flying through the park like the Mall cops we were! We sure got the looks, too.
 And what a beautiful day and Park it was!  We really had a good time.

Well, I think that's a pretty good summary of our trip.  Now we are back home and busy with the day to day things.  I will be going to Idaho Falls as soon as Staci starts into labor/ orJune 13th.  (whichever comes first)   Then at the end of the month, my sister, Mindi is getting married. We will go to Salt Lake City for that and then come back to Zillah for her Reception.  I'm making the Shrimp puffs for that and I've been practicing today.......Since it's been forever since I've made Shrimp puffs.
They turned out pretty good (if I do say so myself) and I do...


Now if I can make 300+ more and put them in the freezer sometime...
Hey, you do what you can for family, right?!
