Finally a beautiful sunny day. A good day to spend at the Poinsettia Pickleball courts. The courts were very busy today but I met some very nice new people. Last nights dinner was superb at I Trulli. Followed by a delicious shared Italian dessert It was great to see our friends who we have not…
Back to Carlsbad
We are back to our timeshare in Carlsbad, California. It seems as though the bad weather keeps following us. From the cold snowy days in Vermont, to the cold snowy days in Oregon to the cool damp rainy days in California. It was 6 degrees when we left Vermont and 2 below zero when we…
San Francisco
A nice weekend day in rainy San Francisco visiting the kids. First lunch at Burma Cafe. Then we went to the kids house and watched Jacob and Beulah having whipped cream squirted into their mouths. Again, having major problems downloading some of my better pictures but I will keep trying. On the way now to…
Happy Thanksgiving
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Two full days and about 10 inches of snow in Redmond made driving very slippery but we were honored to be invited to Bill and Linda’s for Thanksgiving dinner in Bend. They do not sand or salt the roads here in Oregon and so people just drive at 5…
Hello Oregon

Goodbye Vermont
Yes we sold our house in Vermont while we were out in California. It was a quick plane trip back last week to clean out the 5,000 square foot house that we had owned for 33 years. As luck would have it, it snowed heavily for a few days but thanks to a few friends…
Beautiful San Diego area
After watching a fun pro pickleball match in Palm Desert at the Palm Desert Resort we went back to our timeshare in Carlsbad. What an amazing pickleball match. They even provided wine and cheese for the spectators. This week in Carlsbad we played pickleball at Pointsettia park most mornings and walked Aussie in the afternoon….
Back to Indio
We are back to Indio for a few days while Gary enters a pickleball tournament. This morning when I walked Aussie I took a nice picture of the golf course at our Resort. The golf course is not yet open for the season because they are reseeding but even if it were open, I am…
Indio to Carlsbad
We finally made it to our casita in Indio last week but we have our timeshare in Carlsbad near San Diego so that is where we are for the next few weeks. We are now in Carlsbad California where the city flower is the Bird of Paradise and there are plenty of them here. Yesterday…
Soccer Practice
We drove into San Francisco from Petaluma and lucky us saw the Blue Angels flying their planes after we went across the Golden Gate Bridge. From there we went to Noe Rec Center to watch Jacob play soccer. When soccer was over Jacob joined us at the dog park and threw the ball with the…
