OPERA HOUSE on New Year’s Eve

Our friends Mark and John got us concert tickets (unfortunately they weren’t around when we took these photos). Because of them, we saw a wonderful show with some great drag performers in downtown San Francisco. We then ran into some other good friends at the Lone Star Saloon in SOMA.

Monterey Visit with Relatives

I hadn’t seen my dad’s cousin Kathleen in years and was recently connected with some of her nieces and sister through Ancestry.com and online with Facebook, so it was about time to visit her and see her, which was such a joy. Not only is Monterey a beautiful place to visit, but it’s also nice to know my dad is from such a place where he still has relatives that remember him fondly.

Early Family Xmas

We went to my sister’s house in Granite Bay to see my niece and nephew and others for Christmas. I can’t believe how much they have grown! I’m so proud of them! So many people think they are siblings, and they get along so well as first cousins. I know my mother would have been proud of them as well.
