Monday morning I'm leaving for LA. Going out there to meet my German son (the exchange student I had for a year will be there for a few days and wants to see his American Mom, so you know how "mom's are... we do as we're told! LOL).

But I've been talking to Lenny and I'm going to meet him also, so I'm excited about that. We've been talking on the phone and he's a really neat guy.

Then I have some old Army friends who are coming down from Simi Valley to spend the night and catch up on about 40 years (the last time we saw each other they visited the farm here when the kids were really small, so it's about time for me to visit them I guess). That was waaay before we were all on social security... :)

Maybe Lenny will know how to upload some pictures (yes I'm taking my camera, but you all know I'm technology challenged). I know there's a "simple" way to do it - just haven't figured it out yet and YES, I've read the directions - just don't understand them.

Anyhow, ya'll keep your fingers crossed that I don't get profiled, hijacked or whatever flying out there... Now if they do the full body scan, they're really in for a thrill :D (if they can find a "cute" guy -- I'll take the strip search... hey I'm OLD, I'm NOT dead!!)

Ya'll be good while I'm gone (if my computer don't blow up in the x-ray I'll be checking up on all ya'll while I'm out there so watch it!).

Luv ya  BD :-*

Have fun Barb and good luck with those pictures.

Hugs
Carol

Well I REMEMBERED to pack my camera - that's a biggie (and it helps a lot). Now I've got to sleep tonight, and drive to the airport in the morning and then it's off to LA.

Are we there yet??????

This is the first real vacation I've had since Bill died with no agenda except fun and friends and I am excited. (But you know the "bean counter" in me -- I'm looking for a way to write it off of income tax as a "business trip"  ;) ).
