We finally retired, my wife in June and I Oct.1. After 6+ years of caregiving my 91 yr. old Mom and that I would be 65 in Sept., we decided it was past time to "get on w/ our own lives". We placed her in a very nice residential care home less than 5 min. away.

We have now taken some nice trips to visit our son in Santa Clara (St. George), UT, twice including an extended trip to SG. the week the fires were just starting in SoCA Fortunately our property at Crestline was not harmed.

We also spent 12 days through Thanksgiving, in Lakewood (Tacoma) WA with our oldest son and daughter who live about 5+ min. apart. We'll spend Christmas and New Year's here but have already lined up some neat trips for nest year.

I have been very busy when here in Sacto. w/ my own projects, plus "honeydo's" that I now don't have any excuses for not doing. I have gotten into a pretty good routine since I still cannot "sleep in", of going to 24 Hour Fitness each morning for less than 2 hrs. Pearl still goes usually 3 mornings if her knee or hip aren't acting up. We're very close to the one on Micron Ave., just down from Capital Christian Center, off Hwy. 50 and Bradshaw....Dan Leach
