I got to go to "Time Out For Women" in Sacramento with some friends from Church...it's always such a great event that uplifts me & encourages me in many areas...
I even saw some "old" friends from San Jose! Courtney Johanson & Krisanne Gustavson...I saw Tammy Saville & her daughter Christy Buchanan, too - but alas, no photo...
I have to admit...it was REALLY difficult to stay focussed on the speakers because Ty texted me to let us know they were going to induce Christi!!! I kept checking my phone for baby news...but no word. Around midnight, they decided to do a C-section & Trey Weston Carter was born at 1:56am on September 13th! 7 lbs 11.8 oz & 21 inches long...ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Our 28th grandchild!
Christi's mom & sister jumped in the car & drove to Boise from Reno to help out for a week. I made plans to fly out the following week to help. It was a LONG week! Meanwhile...
I went to visit my mom. We went by the hospital to see Miss Opal, her 101 year old friend/neighbor of more than 24 years. We were sad to learn that Opal needed to move to an assisted living facility & it would be difficult for Mom to go & visit. I love this fuzzy picture of them holding hands...they held hands the entire time we were there visiting. Such a tender & sweet friendship they have - truly Christlike.
This was taken in 2009 when Mom first moved into Pinewood Glen. Miss Opal is only 97 here. ;)
Mom humored me & let me take her photo...I love the twinkle in her eyes. I am very lucky to have this lady as my mother. She is truly "Glenda the Good."
Later Paul & I spent some time with our friends Tom & Tricia (Remember our friends with the castle in Ireland?). They have a party boat & went spent the day with them on Folsom Lake. Happy to see more water in the lake this year!
We also attended their annual BBQ/Hootenany Square Dance Event. It's always so much fun! This is the only pic I took that turned out...I'm slacking these days on my photos!
Next up...So very excited to go visit my new grandson!
