What a great day I had today. First....a lovely chat with my niece Linda, her dad John and step mother Pat. I just missed another niece that I am very fond of. Elaine. She missed her dad's 80th birthday and just had to fly to Santa Barbara to see him. She missed him so very much. I know those feelings only too well. My youngest darling son and grandson live 7000 miles from me and I haven't seen them for almost 5 years. The feeling is physical....an ache in my heart.
All going well I shall see them again July....Christophers' 11th birthday (Grandson)July 4 and my 69th birthday July 11. This will be a two week trip by myself. I have done it before and wish Perry could come with me....however he want's me to enjoy my boys all to myself. Maybe a future daughter in law also !
This afternoon I played my very first competitive game of outdoor lawn bowls. I didn't have any nervousness at all....and LOVED it.
Our team didn't win, but I was heartened by the compliments and encouragement I received. Tomorrow we play a social game in the morning followed by a 28th birthday celebration lunch for the club. It is only a little after nine and I feel muscles that haven't had a workout for quite awhile....time for a shower and off to bed.
Above is my most recent picture of Christopher. My son Glen was one of the coaches for Chris's team last year.
