Getting lost in San Jose

We are actually getting around pretty well, but we do seem to lose our way or take the wrong turn or miss a turn at least once a day.  We have found a Costco that is close to our apartment, and have been there a couple of times taking the freeway.  We have had need of printing services at an OfficeMax quite a bit lately, and have found a back roads route there that is easier than the freeway.  So we were getting some printing done today, and they needed an hour to finish it, so we drove across the street to a shopping center.  There was a Trader Joes, etc. and we shopped and looked around, killing time.  We were walking down the storefronts, and saw what looked like a Costco.  We said, "Oh, there's another Costco!".  We then realized it was our Costco, from a different direction!  We were completely turned around, and once again, lost in San Jose!  Oh my...

We've had a busy week, with lots of meetings.  We were able to catch one person home for a visit (it's very hard to catch people), got lost trying to find her apartment (big surprise), but had a wonderful visit.  She is a single member whose family lives in SLC, has an advanced degree in something - audiology? - and works with hearing impaired people; very bright and sweet.  We enjoyed getting to know her.

For Mother's Day, we went to church/meetings, and instead of coming home and having the super dinner Dad had put in the crockpot for us, we went to that lovely "Italian Villa" again for dinner.  The crockpot roast and potatoes was just as good tonight!  The couple who have all those people to dinner at their home twice a month invited us to go to San Francisco with them in a couple of weeks to a classical piano concert.  Such nice folks!

Dad and I are enjoying the treats everyone sent for Mother's Day.  Such fun getting mail!! We got a package Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  I love my new slippers, jewelry, "felted" bowl, smoothie tumblers, drink mixes, spice mixes, and cards and letters!  I felt very loved.

We would really like to hear from some grandkids.  Ask them to get on the blog or email us or something, will ya? 

So here goes with trying to put some pictures in.  We have 3 families of geese that roam the apartment complex.  We thought there were only 2, but saw a third today. 

 

Top, the Gandolph family (we're naming them!), bottom, my MD gifts!

So there you go.  One more post ready for comments!

Love you all
