In Lodi, we visited Gerry's
two brothers and two sisters and their families and a few nieces and
nephews. Terry's best friend (for more than 50 years - Oh My
Gosh!!!) drove down from Sacramento to spend part of a day and then came
back with her Mom another morning. We stayed with Sandy & Gary &
Richard (Richard gives up his waterbed for us). No matter how long
we stay, it just isn't long enough to do all the things we would like to
do and see everyone we would like to see. Terry did a little
computer tech support for Sandy. These days she is a little amazed
that she still can. Sister Ann, now
the matriarch of the family, is going strong, still lives alone and takes
care of herself. Colleen & Bill are recuperating from health
problems, but holding their own. Don and Lena, now in their early
80's, are still going strong. Jim is now in a care home, but he did
know us and visit with us. Julie, now recovered from her ordeal with
a broken ankle and weeks in the hospital, is now in an assisted living
home where they do the cooking and cleaning, but she would rather be back
in her own home with Jim. Jillian and Samatha, Rick & Wendy's twins,
are now at UC Davis and Richard is at Delta Community College and all are
doing well. (How time does fly!)
We went to a birthday party for 5-year old
Jordan, Gary & Sandy's granddaughter and got to see her whole family,
David (the Dad), Toni (the Mom), Sam & Ryland (her little brothers) and
her aunts Lynn and Lisa. We met the other grandmother (Toni's
mother) and got the grand tour of the beautiful 50's style home they just
bought in Lodi - where the birthday party was held.
