• Hoppy Easter

  

  “And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.” Matthew 8:26   Happy Easter my xanga Peeps! How ever you celebrate the day, it is Sunday here in sunny California after all, I hope it is lovely. The planets aligned just so yesterday and I got to spend the day with my boyfriend, test drive convertibles (for him, not me, but I did get to drive with the top down) and (drum roll please…) SEE MY GRAND DAUGHTER, JUNIPER!!!! That little, rosy cheeked bundle of chit chat was amazing and gorgeous and smart and adorable.  A recent Juniper pic that I “borrowed” off my daughters facebook She is growing so fast, running around and talking non stop. She is social and interested. She loved Lola. She was polite and sweet to me (of course she does not remember me but I got to kiss her good by and hug her bunches). The other grandma was baby sitting and, I guess, got the ok from my daughter to let me see her. We hung out for about an hour just watching her play and playing with her while grandparents Mary and John told me all about the stuff she does. She is a leftie, she draws tons, I saw a bit of her art work. She is a whirlwind. Interested in EVERYTHING for thirty seconds. Is very capable of opening presents! She is polite and says thank you and gimme that ! Laughs and smiles and knows her grandparents and uncle Johnnie’s names. It was wonderful. David got to meet her too. I am so glad I got to see her in person instead of pictures and videos on facebook (that I am grateful for too, of course, her daddy posts all the time, thanks Daniel). I hope to go to a birthday party for her at the end of this month (she will be two on April 27th). I don’t get my hopes up as these invites have been placed then removed for various reasons. A picture of Lola and David from our trip to Bodega Bay last month Yes, I said convertible. The BF is in the market for a car. He moved from Alaska, so packing a car probably seemed too much at the time.  I guess, we are looking for an us kind of car. Since I have the winter car (my Volvo Cross Country) he thought maybe we could go summer car. We have been looking at Volvo’s and Mercedes. Used of course. It is up to him. Gas savings and smaller is good too. The Mercedes have huge engines and no back seat, so no room for Lola. I think he really likes one we drove yesterday up in Auburn. A car lot my uncle Dan, who also has a lot up that way, highly recommends. That is a 2004 Volvo C70. Very nice car. I loved driving it. (I also love hearing him tell his family in Wyoming about test driving convertibles. His sister said “WHO ARE YOU?” I guess they figure the California crazies got him!) We are planning a trip to Iowa at the end of May, that may be the car we drive, if we get it and the weather is suppose to be good. Road Trip! Another road trip sometime in between to see his daughter up in Washington and anther plan for a trip to Mammoth in September (more than likely something in July for my birthday too). We love to go go go! I am really hoping to see all the court stuff with my mom’s Trust wrapped up this week. My brother and his attorney are both bat shit insane. That is all I can say about that. It will soon be behind me. Thank you God. This too shall pass. So, today David is working and I need to catch up on house stuff. Besides the ever present laundry and vacuuming, I need to make a poster for my pals, The Sheets, who are playing a show here in Woodland at the end of the month.  The Sheets from a photo shoot we did about a month ago So, you know when life seems to be going well, not amazing, not great, just well…yeah, I don’t know about that either…but that is how it is going right now for me. I hope the same for you. Well is swell. xxoo Cassi
