News of Randy and Me

It has been a long time since I have written in this blog.

Randy and I enjoyed an awesome summer camping and traveling. We went to California wine country. We enjoyed many camping trips to the mountains and lakes. We visited Zion's National Park. We got a new trailer and can't wait for spring to go camping and traveling some more.
Randy and I have been together for over two years and we have been married 6 months now. We are doing quite well but of course, we have aches and pains that come with getting older. Our minds still feel young, it's just our bodies that are going downhill. LOL

We are having Thanksgiving at our house with Tammy and her family and John and Kathy. For Christmas, we are giving each other a Christmas gift of going to Seattle and spending Christmas with Jennifer and her family.

We had fun on Halloween at Matt's house and even Randy got into the spirit by dying his hair green.

We want to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas.

Summer Events

Since our wedding, Randy and I have gone on a cruise to Alaska, did a lot of camping and went to Reno and Santa Rosa CA. We enjoyed beautiful vineyards in the Napa Valley. We visited with a friend of Randy's from Scottsdale. We just loved the Pacific Ocean and we went to an automobile museum in Reno. A really large museum.

We have recently decided to purchase another travel trailer. It is so nice with lots of space and a queen sized bed and full shower. Summer is nearly over and we want to take our new trailer out before the snow flies. We still have our cats, but our Little Guy (the stray) no longer comes around and I fear he may have died. Hopefully, he just found a new home. Life is pretty good right now. Randy has to watch his blood sugar but he is doing pretty well.

Wedding Day

We had a wonderful day. Thanks to all who attened.

Setting the Date

Randy and I are getting married on May 16. We finally broke down and are going to tie the knot. Randy just bought a brand new suit, ties, socks, shirts and shoes for the wedding and for our cruise next month. He hasn't worn a suit in years. I found out he really has high taste in fasion. So anyway, wish us a happy life and good luck for our future.

Randy's Family

Here are some photos of Randy's daughter, her grandbaby and her daughter Erica, who is Randy's granddaughter. The baby belongs to Erica. The baby is Randy's great grandson. His daughter is Jessica who is 47 years old. Jessica's grandmother is holding the baby as well and she is Randy's ex-wife's mother. (His ex-mother-in-law) Included also is his sister Terri and her husband Joe and grandson and his girlfriend.

Randy's daughter is a nurse and lives in New Castle PA. She has two daughters, Erica and Monica who are Randy's granddaughters.

Mock Marriage

Randy and I decided to wear wedding rings because we consider ourselves married. He is wearing a gold band that belonged to a relative and I am wearing a Cubic Zirconia set. My fingers have gotten so much bigger that I can no longer wear my Mother's and Grandmother's rings. So they are going to Tina when I see her next. We now consider ourselves a married couple in our eyes anyway. If gay couples and polygamists can be married then we can too even though like gays, it isn't recognized by the law. But we are happy and someday we might make it permanent, but why?, it's really good for everyone involved and less complicated. Wish us a happy mock marriage!

News of Randy and Me

Randy just celebrated his 67th birthday. We went out ot eat and to a movie and I bought him somes jacks for the trailer.

We have just been hanging out waiting for Spring to get here for good and for summer when we can go camping. We are going on a cruise to Alaska in June. We are very happy just being together.

We love our animals but the cats get me quite upset with their having to mark territory with urine at times. These are cats that are neutered too. I think with having so many cats, there is competition and that is why they mark. I wish I culd just put them outside but the road is dangerous and Randy won't hear of it. So I will just have to live with it until they all die off naturally. I will not get any to replace them. We also have Bella and she is a good dog but we have to get up early to take her potty. So that's animal loving people have to do and that's just the way it is.

Bella

Randy and I did get a dog. It wasn't planned. Her owners were gone a lot and so we adopted her. She is a beautiful little Shitz tsu. We got her shaved because she was so matted. Her name is Bella. She is a good doggy and sleeps with us at night. She goes potty outside. She wants to play with the cats but they look at her in boredom, like she is crazy or something. She is a very loving little dog. I know we are crazy for getting more pets.

To Get a Dog or Not?

Randy and I are considering getting a dog. My sister has golden retrievers for sale. But I think we should get a shelter dog. We have 8 cats so it's really not practical to get a dog too. However, it's fun to have a dog when you go camping. But it's hard to travel when you are at motels and visiting others to take a dog.

Maybe this summer we will get one. Randy and I camp most of the summer and a dog would be great company. But again, having 8 cats I am sure we are crazy to even consider this.

Randy

Randy finally got his Utah driver's license. He can now get a passport for our cruise to Alaska and Canada in June.

In February we are going to Las Vegas and stay at the Golden Nugget. We are going to watch my daughter Jennifer and her husband Rob renew their vows with an Elvis impersonator. I think it will be lots of fun.
