Jason drove down to Orange County the day prior to his 32nd birthday. Even though he wasn’t here for long, we had a wonderful visit. Since it fell in the middle of the week, Jerry took Jason’s birthday off and the 3 of us went for a walk through one of our local wilderness parks. [...]

Prior to meeting friends at the restaurant to celebrate Jerry’s 60th birthday, I had our son Matthew snap a few photos with his sweet Ms Yuki. This is always an adventure! It’s obvious she loves her grandma, the feelings mutual. Now who’s acting all shy? That’s my sweet Yuki! El Torito Grill brought a delicious [...]

It’s hard to believe my love is 60 years old today. We have been together for over 51 years now and yes, I realize that dates us both. From the day I set eyes upon him until now, my feelings for him have grown 10 fold. Through all we have been through in our lives [...]

Despite the on-going and current “not feeling well latey” my birthday came and went. Guess I couldn’t stop that from happening even if I had connections!

31 years ago Jerry and I welcomed our 2nd son, Jason Theodore into our lives. I can recall as if it were yesterday the moment the nurse brought him into my room and handed him to me. Jason was so beautiful at birth, he didn’t have any of the usual discoloration most newborns have, his [...]

For the last several years Jerry and I have been celebrating his birthday with our good friend Karen and her hubby Terry, because Karen and Jerry are the same age and their birthday are 2 days apart.

For Jerry’s 59th (eeekkk!!!) birthday he wanted to go to one of his favorite places; Fuddruckers in Lake Forest. And since we had a coupon for a free burger it was a done deal. We go there often enough that everyone knows us, Holden, the manager always comes around and likes to chat, and Patricia [...]

Pat’s birthday this year was celebrated in a special way, with long time friend Patrick Bennet. Patrick’s birthday is actually in October, but since he will be in Hawaii during that time working on his medical schooling we decided it would be really great to celebrate the 2 birthdays together. Jill’s cousin, Rose (far left) [...]
