A new year means a new post! WINTER!

Wow, time sure goes by fast! Here we are in 2010 already. The grandchildren are growing up so very fast. It is such a pleasure to spend time with each one of them. They are each so special in their individual ways. I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to have all six of them close by at the present time. Jerry and I also have some changes in our lives. Jerry is now the young age of 70. We had a family party for his birthday and his sisters came from Kennewick, Wa, and Eugene, Or. as well as all the family here in the area. It meant a lot to him. I finally retired from my job as Community Pregnancy Clinic Director in December. They had a dinner for me and it REALLY did mean so much to me. It was a very special sendoff. I still do some volunteering on occasion if needed and still teach the childbirth education classes. So, we are both really retired now. Soon we will be heading south to Arizona for a couple of months in our motor home. I always miss the grandchildren so much I am more than ready to get home. Our winter only consisted of one snowfall so far. I'm getting ready for spring already. It won't be long now. Will try to post again in the spring when we get home from Arizona.
