Home again after six great weeks. Visited with brother and sister in law in Coleville....where several other members of our family gathered for a wonderful BBQ lunch.....visited Mom and Pop Davis's graves.....played golf at Singing Hills Resort which is now owned by the Sycuan Indian Tribe.....caught up with family again (Nancy, Kelly, Rob and girls at Glen's home...( Nancy treated us to a lovely lunch at Janet's Montana Restaurant).....spent my 70th birthday at the Brigantine restaurant (my favorite and I am now the owner of my very own iPod).....attended a pool party at one of Glen's friends amazing home.....toured the U.S.S. Midway ..... lunched with the 39 year old son of bowling friends from Bribie Island...( Jason has lived in San Diego for 10 years and has a very successful business building and selling refrigerators that are purpose built for the military etc).....played lawn bowls in Balboa Park.....bought lots of loot at Macy's sales.....lunched up at Julian.....spent a wild weekend at Martinez Lake where Glen goes to have fun with the speed boat that he has had for a couple of years.....attended grandson Christopher's 12th birthday at Fudruckers in La Mesa.....had a lovely meal and get together with Glen's girlfriend Catherine's parents at their home high on a hill in La Mesa with views all the way to Point Loma.....had a beautiful Mexican meal at the home of Glen's former wife's mothers home... ( Angie and her partner Jim, live right next door to Glen, Catherine and Christopher, which is lovely for them all. Former wife Carolyn lives about a mile and a half away which makes things fairly simple for sharing the child rearing.)
A great thing about the whole trip was the fact that we had our own "apartment" in Glen's huge 37' double bump out motor home....icing on the cake was the fact that we had full use of a BMW sports model car with sun roof !
However a huge downer for Perry was the fact that his younger brother wasn't able to find enough free time to get together.
It's quite sad really....they haven't seen each other for close on 25 years and realistically....won't see each other again in this life.
Phew....that was quite a post and I don't think I covered everything....but so be it!
