My very HAPPY Birthday!!!

Happy birthday to ME as I turn 63! .... I had wonderful gifts and cards from my sons and daughters and grandchildren. I love you all. What more could an old woman want? Dad took me to a show, Star Trek which was fabulous and bought me a strawberry cake (very little left day after....) and gorgeous red roses. Isn't he wonderful? I just can't think of a better birthday, other than spending it actually with all four sons and families. TWO YEARS from May 23rd - please join us as I QUIT my job (at 65 - not one day older) ...... 5/23/11 and leave immediately for Oahu - North Shore AGAIN. That is my dream and hopefully will keep me going for another two years at mental health. LOVE YOU ALL. Good friends and great family.

Happy Mother's Day!

Another stunning weekend

Top of Cape Perpetua Day use park. Highest point of land from ocean. Amazing - you MUST view this pix bigger. It is unreal how high we are.

one of the rest stops at this very high scenic point. It was amazing.

Views of the Bay & Bridge

Down on the South dock looking West

Saturday in Roseburg for Easter -

soccer & Piano recital!!! Our only pic of Alison was too dark,

no camera flashes allowed, sorry Ali.

Get it Chase - SCORE! (Chase in green in middle)

Chase is the star.... very intense - (middle in green)

watch him go! He scored 4 or 5 goals.

Cooper seemed a little bored.

Probably thinking about baseball! How many years?

We're at the " soccer game" starring Chase!!!

Cooper's not a big soccer fan - looked more at spectators.

Knitting friends

Our friends Mike and Vickie came to visit a few days. We ate good snacks, meals, shopped and played cards together. Considering that Vickie's sister doesn't look too similar to her and I don't look too similar to my sister, funny how people always think we are sisters. Same hair, glasses, and our "must have" favorite tee shirts from Eddie Bauer. Vickie was teaching me how to knit dish cloths. Fun, huh???

Mason & Buddy

Considering how frightened Mason was of Buddy when they first came to visit in October, then again in December. You can see they've become fast friends. Buddy loved to walk with Mason. Too cute!
