As you can see from Dave's blog last week Dave and I "split-up" for the weekend! I went to San Francisco with Christina to see Heather and attend Allison's wedding shower. It was wonderful seeing Heather and Allison and David again! We have not seen each other since we left in mid-January. It is fun seeing them more often while being on land.

Friday night we had Allison and David come over and have dinner at Heather's house with us. It was so much fun. We were able to talk and laugh and enjoy each other's company. It was so special for me because all three children were together laughing and telling stories. Great fun!

Saturday, was another beautiful day in Northern California. We have had amazing weather this trip - sunny and warm. It just does not get better. We three ladies (Heather, Christina and I) dressed and went for a lovely breakfast prior to going to Allison's shower.

After breakfast, which was very tasty, we drove for a half hour and arrived at Allison's good friend's mother's home. It was a beautiful home. The landscaping was amazing and the home itself was wonderful. That was only the beginning because the company was the best ever! Allison's friends were all welcoming and gracious. The shower was a lovely success and the afternoon was spent laughing and enjoying each other's company.

The next day we had to say good-bye and come back to Tucson. Now we got to celebrate Christina's birthday! We have not been together for her birthday for many years. I think since she married in 2009. So we went BIG! On March 11, we went over to Christina's with dinner and one of her gifts. She requested her menu and I complied. She wanted my homemade lasagna, salad, garlic bread and homemade brownies with frosting for dessert. It was great fun singing to her like we did when she was little! We love birthdays and love to celebrate with family. It was a great evening and so much love was around the table with grandchildren, Children and us to share it all.

All in all it was a great week - until we speak again...
