California Fun

We sure enjoyed spending part of our Christmas break at Papa Goodrich's house. It wouldn't be Christmas in California without spending some time with the former pilot! As Papa gets older, I can't help but feel grateful to have him as my grandpa and to feel a tremendous sense of gratitude for hearing about the wonderful life he lived. He grew up in a rural farming community in the middle of nowhere Nebraska. To think if you had asked him when he was young, do you think you will fly in the war all over the Pacific theatre, come home honorably and have a tremendous career flying for United Airlines, retire in the heyday of pilots and travel the world with your beautiful bride Hilda Ann, he would have thought you were crazy. And yet that's exactly what happened to him. How blessed I am to have ever known him! 

We also had a great time enjoying the beautiful California winter weather spending some time in Grandma and Grandpa's jacuzzi!
