I hope everyone had a great Holidays and enjoyed the season! At this age life is going too quickly!! Now that 2025 is in our rear view mirror and we’re still making New Years resolutions I’m always looking forward to starting over even at 77 years old. Can’t say 2025 was a great year but it did start very promising especially going to the Rosebowl Parade with our invited traveling gang since Billie Jean King was the “Grand Marshall” and ” Guest of Honor”. We had 4 beautiful days of eating, laughing and being together that I look forward to doing it again this year!
