I volunteered several years ago feeding the homeless in my community. It was nice, and I met some good people along the way.

One of the things I miss about living in Ca. is the mild climate and the beauty of the plants. I think it's great that you'll be able to spend time with someone on a regular basis. I would suggest playing cards as well. <br />Have a great week.<br />NoreenNanaNor'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274393531253464864.post-55763435275211215872016-03-07T12:25:38.573-08:002016-03-07T12:25:38.573-08:00Pretty camelias, Terra.

When they were small I would whip out that book and read them "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere". They would be asleep before I hit the second stanza! LOL! but they never forgot what they heard either.

Lucky you in CA where flowers can be enjoyed most of the year.

I have found that looking at old photographs is great. You get a feeling of how a person was when young and it's such fun laughing together about changes in fashion.
