Thank you again everyone! It was a wonderful birthday indeed and it was wonderful to hear from so many of you.
Playing with my grandson, holding my grandaughter and rocking her to sleep and spending time with family and friends was just a wonderful way to get back home to California.
The day following my birthday Marty and I headed back to Florida. It was a long drive but made me fall in love with this country of ours even more. The country is absolutely beautiful. From the heat of the Mojave, the varying deserts of Arizona and New Mexico to the flat lands of Texas and Oklahoma and through the rich greens of the south this land of ours is just a beautiful palette of colors and varying foliage that enriches the soul as the miles pass by.
It's good to be home, my other home, although I miss my family bunches already.
