Sunshine Therapy

Late September I received news that my great Aunt Betty had passed away. She was a wonderful woman - another one in the strong line of Martin sisters. I have great memories of spending a solo summer with her - staying at her house for Thanksgiving and New Years holidays.

We celebrated her life and influence the end of October which also meant a much-needed trip to sunshine and family.

Sweet & Sassy Eileen! 

Family from near & far

The full crew!

Our 'Bed & Breakfast' view! 

Our wonderful hosts!

I will never tire of this view. 

A Sweet Treat: Disneyland at Halloween Time! 

In line for the Haunted Mansion

Minnie! And my first time in California Adventure

She wanted us to match my shirt! 

And an incredible treat to see these two and celebrate their new home! 

So much love. 

And this precious pup is Millie. 

I love her. 

I tried to put her in my suitcase,

Oh sweet Orange County you did my soul so much good. 

Always and forever - all my love.
