December 8th

 It was a wonderful day.  I'm having so much fun getting to know Pam.  I can't believe it's taken 60 years to get to know her but I'm sure glad I have a relationship now.

We were off to Jazzercise at the senior center.  Everyone was so nice and one lady knew Marilyn, my Exhusband's sister-in-law.  I found it amazing that one lady used to live in NJ etc.  After running up and down stairs the day before I found it was really a huge workout.  We started in chairs but moved to standing etc.  

After class we went to the dollar store.  I had gotten a hold of Uncle Ethan who turned 91 the 8th and my cousin Larry was taking him down to the Olive Garden which is right in Vallejo not 5 minutes from our place.  I invited us to meet them and have a birthday celebration for Uncle Ethan.  We needed a card which said you don't look a day older.  We found lots of wonderful things at the dollar store.

At home we made lunch and I was off to take a nap.  Getting up I found that Pam hadn't slept yet and I called Larry for a time frame on dinner.  It looked like it would be 5 pm or later so Pam had her nap and I caught up on some tv shows and dealt with some e-mails.  

We were finally off to dinner where Pam & I got seats and then I saw Aunt & Uncle coming up the path and ran out to meet them.  It was wonderful seeing them again and didn't know that it was Uncle Ethan that drove.  I guess 91 is just a frame of mind since he was wonderful.  Aunt Fredi didn't talk as loud but had plenty to say.  I was so grateful to give Bev a hug.  I sure do miss her and of course Larry and I always give each other a hard time so nothing has changed and we had the time of our lives.  Pam fit right in and we all had fun.  Here are the pictures.

After dinner I went home, picked up a small bag and I was off to Julie's.  She & Mason stayed down in Stanford since she needed to be at the hospital at 5 am.  Her Dad, Richard and Ray Lynn also went down the night before so could be with Julie in the early morning.  Julie decided that it was fine for me to come down after surgery since she had so many people there before.  Mason is being my communication so I know when she's going into surgery and I'll get down to be there when she wakes.
