Twain Harte Car Show

Wow. I can't believe that I haven't written anything since the beginning of December... Has it really been almost a year? Oh where to begin.... So much has happened over the last year. Most of you know that we lost Mason's Grandmother to a stroke last September. (She is still missed with every ounce of my soul). His Grandfather has been sick since December (very, very, very sick). He was in the hospital for a very long time and until just a few months ago, we were all extremely scared of the "unknown". He is doing well and is staying in Folsom at his daughter's house who is taking very good care of him. He is back to enjoying his brandy and seven every night and heads off to the casino every once in awhile to try his luck. He still says that playing craps will never be the same because Grandma was his lucky charm!

We were able to make it to Twain Harte recently (July) for the annual craft fair/car show. Grandpa enters his 1940 Ford Opera Coupe in it every year.


This year he won the "Car Owner Choice Award" meaning that all the car owners voted and chose his car to be the best in show! Very cool.



We apent a lot of time catching up with family. This year Uncle Rick and Debbie came and Paul drove up Saturday and met us there as well. I think Grandpa was very happy to see everyone together again. He has spent so much of the last year in a hospital bed, unaware of what is happening, it's so good to see him back to his old self! Of course, Aunt Judy and Uncle Jim were there as well as Aunt Jean and Uncle Ron. We also saw Brandon for a few minutes before he had to head back home.


On Saturday night, there was music in the park so Debbie and I walked over there with Emily. She played in the park and danced to the music (she had a blast!)



It was a great weekend filled with lots of fun, relaxing and good times. I so totally enjoy those times and will cherish the memories always.
