The WhenEverGram...


I am considering renaming my blog... 
"The WhenEverGram" 
 It is already past Valentine's Day, 
February 16... 4 weeks since my last post.
But an eventful 4 weeks it has been!!
Thursday, January 19, I boarded a flight from cloudy Portland to San Diego for a 3 day weekend of sunshine! (Hopefully)
Beautiful Mt. Hood and blue sky above the gray clouds!

Friday Burt arrived from the east coast to visit for the weekend before  attending a work conference. 

It was perfect evening Schmidt family time hosted by Bill and Amanda!

And to celebrate Gemma's sweet 16th B-day!

REFLECTIONS 
My feet had been on the ground since late October. I feel like a boomerang that needs to bounce back to the skies every few months!  I wasn't sure this trip to San Diego would happen with all the weather and health and cost and schedule uncertainties these days.  But, it did!  It was a short burst of refreshing and bonding with family.  

This has been a good 4 GeoGram weeks in the life of Gram G.

"Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.  Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep. You, Lord,  preserve both people and animals"  (Psalm 36: 5-6)
