CA Family

My mom moved to Southern CA when she was high school.  She has always called herself a transplant.  (Cute)  She settled in and eventually met up with my dad...marriage, college in McMinnville, life, divorce.  We are still here in McMinnville and there is still family in CA.  Her side and his side.

(Quick family tree...)  Great-grandma Jacobson (everyone called her G'ma Jake, we called her G'ma Shake)  had Lois, Ramona, Bud and Joanne.  Ramona is my g'ma and Bud is Kathy's dad.  My mom and Kathy are cousins.  I guess that makes me the 2nd cousin.  Kathy is married to Paul and they live in Leucadia, CA...have been there for 40 years!  Is their exact age important?  Yes, when I tell you that they live their life healthy and are very happy at 69 and 73 years of age!  So, after my 4 day conference in San Diego I stayed with them for three nights.  It was awesome.  I am so very grateful for the love and kindness.  They are fun and exciting to talk to and it was a very wonderful visit.  One can always count on some yummy dinner, drinks and laughs when staying at their house in the guest bed/breakfast!  Way awesome. Their daughter Kari and her son Austin were also around for some laughs, dinner and drinks. 
Fun crowd!  Thanks so much!
