Gary took me to Isaac's 
Pleasant Grove High School  
Winter Musical tonight:
The Addams' Family
It was a 1964 TV Series...
then a 1991 movie.
The high school did a
musical play version...
There were 40 dead people 
"floating" (moving) around 
the stage in the ensemble.
Issac was the "dead"
Fred Astaire.
As just a sophomore, he
was excited to get a part!
He did an excellent job.
So proud of this grandson,
as well as all our grandchildren.
Isaac was amazing.
Gary, please text me the photo
of us with Isaac after the play.
Thanks.

we go to Mi Ranchitos, she replied:
"I totally messed up today! 
I was going to come join you all 
since it's right by work. I looked
at my clock and it was 12:45!
 I should have set an alarm.
Geez!! Next time..."

On #SaturdaySalute, we recognize Los Angeles Rams Los Angeles quarterback Matthew Stafford and his wife, Kelly Stafford. Over the years, both Matthew and Kelly have been active supporters of our nation's first responders and veterans, providing free meals, and even most recently, giving away free Los Angeles Rams playoff tickets to active-duty members of the military and veterans.
Thank you, Kelly and Matthew, for all you do for our nation's heroes. We salute you!
And it looks like Matthew and Kelly
are a great Dad and Mom, too!
