Conversations With A Poet

Not Just A Number! I have to say I’m amazed that I’ve just turned 70, but more than amazed, I am so very grateful for the opportunity to do so.   My older brother Tim didn’t get the chance and neither did my mom.  So, I’m feeling quite honored and special to have been given, what I would consider this “ Moment in time. ”  Denny planned a five-night stay at the beautiful Marriott Shadow Ridge Resort in Palm Springs, California to celebrate the occasion. He and I and Craig drove over on Wednesday and Jeff and Rose and our 3 grandsons came in on Friday evening.  My sisters and two nieces from Arizona joined us on Saturday.  On Wednesday evening, Denny and I had dinner with Don and Marianne Barneson, friends of ours from California that we hadn’t had the chance to have a good visit with for a long time.  They invited us to their beautiful home in La Quinta.  Don cooked steaks and we had a great time remembering the great times we had when we all lived in Orange Co. an
