Southern California Getaway




Long time since recent Blog postings...
September 2011, was a great reason for a getaway to southern California...
It is football season, after all... Utah vs. USC.
While there, Doug & I spent some time visiting the Ronald Reagan Library, former childhood homes of myself and my mother, my grandfather's grave site and my uncle Elias... And of course, some time with our eldest son, Joe & his wife, Emily, prior to the Utah game.
Thanks, Doug, for a fun 4 day weekend...It was fantastic!

Conversation With A Grandson


Boston Douglas Reich
November 2010

I Just Had To Share A Conversation That I Had Today
With My 4 Year Old Grandson While Folding Laundry...

Boston: Grandma, what are you doing?
Me: I'm folding laundry.
Boston: Grandma, I like you.
Me: I like you too, Boston.
Boston: Grandma, I love you so much!
Me: Boston I love you so much too!
Boston: Grandma, you look so CUTE in your red shirt!
Me: Thank you, Boston!
Boston: Grandma, I really LIKE your face!
Me: Well, THANKS, Boston! I really LIKE your face too!
Boston: Grandma, whose juice bottle is that?
Me: That's Grandpa's Gatorade bottle. He must have forgotten it on his way to the airport.
Boston: It smells really GROSS!
Boston: Grandma, I like airplanes.
Me: I do too!
Boston: Grandma, when are you going on your trip?
Me: Grandpa & I are leaving on Friday morning.
Boston: Grandma, I'm going with you.
Me: I wish you could, Boston! This is a Get-Away trip for just Grandpa & I.
Boston: Well, I'm going with you. Don't go yet! I have to go ask my Mom.
Me: Ask her what?
Boston: If I can go with you & Grandpa!
Me: But you can't this time.
Boston: Guess what, Grandma?
Me: What?
Boston: I AM GOING, SO DON'T GO WITHOUT ME!

...If ALL Conversations Were So Simple!
