Mary (wife of my brother Tom) was in San Diego for a work training session last week and stayed over this weekend to visit her family members to the north, and then stopped by this afternoon to spend a little time with me. Patrick and Veronica came by for dinner and we had a great time visiting. Unfortunately she could only stay for a few hours since she is flying out of San Diego tomorrow morning to head back to Wisconsin. But it was really nice to get to spend a few hours with her. I wish all these family members didn’t live so far away. I didn’t recognize how great it was when they were still living in California until they moved.

Glad you had a few hours to spend with us, Mary. We really enjoyed seeing you!
