This year my first grandchild is graduating from high school. The years have passed so quickly. It's hard to believe she's almost grown up. It's much harder to be a parent in the trenches, than the grandparent watching from afar....
Chloe's at the end of her last day of high school.
I went to a jam making demonstration with the California Dreamin' Boy where we learned to make strawberry/rhubarb jam by mascerating the fruit and sugar in the refrigerator for 6-8 weeks before cooking! My batch is beginning it's second week now. More on the jam making... the middle of July!
We took a short hike to the Nature Friends Tourist Club San Francisco for lunch. The club is open to the public four times a year. Originally we agreed to a longer hike but FORTUNATELY there were no parking places at sea level and so we were unable to make the 800 foot climb to the club! (Hubby and I had totally misunderstood the discussion prior to leaving on this outing - we NEVER could have made it!) We did find parking about a mile from the club, a perfect walk in the woods!
While the soon to be graduating High School Senior was sleeping and the poor Tiger was taking his last final we went to Safari West known as the Sonoma Serengeti. Both Hubby and the Califonia Dreamin' Gal wanted to work on their wildlife photography.
A great visit can't wait to go back!

A trip to Bake Sale Betty's was a must!
And then it was Graduation Day!
