REMEMBERING A TRIP TO VISIT MY OLDEST SON'S FAMILY

It's been a few years since we have traveled anywhere other than when I have gone up to the central coast of California the last two years to help with my sister and her husband, after her stroke.

Last time we were in Washington for a visit  a couple years ago our son took us to a small winery in Olalla.  Olalla is a really small little town with only a few stores, a post office and a family owned winery.  I thought I would put these up today so I see these memories someday when reading through my blogs.  The tray of food is what my daughter in law made and brought to the winery.  I guess people are encouraged to bring their own snacks while they enjoy the wine experience at this beautiful place. It's only like 10 minutes from my son's house. 

My oldest just turned 50 at the end of March and they were in Los Angeles because of his job so we met at a restaurant down the mountain and had a nice visit.  I'm looking forward to getting back to Washington, Bend, Oregon, where another son lives and Montana where a third son lives.  Thankfully my 4th son just lives about 40 minutes away - he's the youngest and just turned 40 a couple months ago.  I'm feeling kind of old, lol

A ROCK WALL I LOVE

 I see this every time I go over to Lake Arrowhead and we go around the road to get to a certain part of a trail where we walk the shoreline.  Every time I pass this wall I know I'm out of the house and going to have a good time over near the lake.  

 We still have some snow that's melting but another little snow event is coming in at the end of the week.  It shouldn't drop more than 3" at the most and with the angle of the sun and temps warming up it should melt soon.

Our local grocery store is in the process of being rebuilt after last year's crazy blizzard we had.  The roof caved in and the whole store has been rebuilt and in a few months it will be finished.  That will be when we will shop local again instead of going 15 minutes away to Staters in Lake Arrowhead.  

Hope u all had a good Easter and if you had family visiting I know it must have been nice.  I did have one son and two grandkids visit for the week from Bend Oregon, but they were not really at the house much except to sleep. They  have cousins down the mountain on their mom's side of the family and they enjoy being there.  Being teenagers I think our house is rather boring for them.  Heck it's boring for me a lot of the time especially in winter/early spring - snow season.

That's really all the news I have which is the reason I don't blog much...nothing really to write about.
