A Shining Start to 2020!

My beautiful family: Jeremy, Amy, Dan, Brycen, and Justin (that's me in the sunglasses - don't ask). 
Missing Mallory and Betsy who had prior commitments.

The New Year 2020 began with a wonderful gathering of my family. We came together to sort through hundreds, if not thousands of family photos. They brought back so many memories and many relatives were introduced to my grandchildren that they never knew. My running grandchildren - Amy and Brycen - got to see pics of their dad in action at Mt. Sac and Morley Field when he was running for Point Loma High School. There were pictures of my grandparents and my great-grandfather, great aunts, and other people who were very significant in the annals of our family history. So many stories that should not be forgotten.

Jeremy is well ensconced in his job, Mallory is looking forward to graduating from Concorde as a Dental Hygienist. My son announced that Amy achieved her 5.0 GPA. Brycen's long legs will serve him well in the upcoming Track season and next fall's Cross Country. Justin is working toward his career in voice-over and working to support that. My son, Dan, is working hard as a Store Manager at Kahoots Feed & Pet. Betsy is still at Rite-Aid as a pharmacy assistant.

Today, January 2, was a "down" day, but I basked in the afterglow of a day of reviewing memories and being surrounded by my family. Good feelings!
