SUNDIAL BRIDGE



November 13,2008



When we returned to Redding and visited Shasta Dam we went back into Redding and visited the glass bridge. It was beautiful all lit up and across the river, Sue said there was trails to walk alll along tlhe river. I was surprised at so many family groups that was walking the bridge, they was pushing strolers, skate boarding, skates, and people just enjoying the view. It is a great place to just walk. There was lots of people our age strowling down holding hands. It is a beautiful park with lots of walkways. They have a monument like with information of time the sun will be right on that spot, I do not remember the date and time it said. Sue might can post it later. It is a wonder how individuals can figure out that, but we have some very intelligent people in this world. We just happen not to be one of them, or else we would be rich. wouldn't we.

Well we got thanksgiving out of the way. We had food galore and everywhere. Also family from wall to wall. It was so nice to see everyone together. I made a big pan of dressing, cinnamon rolls, rolls, mashed potatoes, raisin pie, pumpkin bread. snack crackers and my famous bean dip. Bruce spotted it and took the whole bowl. I forgot to put the chips out so he ate his with crackers. Later Rocky ask for the chips and Bruce spoke up and said I had to eat mine with crackers. Nancy made her sweet potato caserole and pecan pie. Rochelle made hash brown casserole and her green bean rolls. It was all so good. Rochell mother also came to eat with us. There was two missing, that was Buck, which was working in Georgia and Shawn , he was working at the Sonic. We missed them. It was a good day. The weather was very cold and rainy and felt like snow in the air.


50 years



The kids presented us with a Now and Then album of our 50 years. It was great. It had a lot of pictures I had forgot about. Nancy did a wonderful job. Thanks for all who contributed to it. Also she made a DVD of those pictures and more. We will be watching it again today and many days to come. Now she knows how to do it she can help me make Kiefer and Maranda's of Vanessa.

I have a party to go today with our group from aerobics. It will be nice, we will have it at Brew Haven a little diner on the main street of Sheridan. It is a lot of old dairy bars sheridan use tdo have put together. It has the bar stools and tables from the drug store soda shop. A lot of old pictures and signs of Years gone bye in it.

Lots of Busy times ahead and I do not feel like doing all I have to do. God will give me the strength to do it.

Sue I know you will be tired when you get back from Washington, look forward to your posting again. I have still got a lot to write about, just cant find the time. Have a blessed day.
