So looking forward to have a vacation and celebrate Gwen's 70th birthday. We also provide updates about out kids, grandkids and political events. So angry about #45 and what this has done to our country.

We flew to Miami on 05/31 and met our Son, Daughter-in-Law and our two oldest Grandkids (ages 3 and 6). We went on the Disney Magic for a four night cruise to Nassau and Disney Cay. This was the first vacation for our grandkids and they got to play in the ocean, the beach and see Minnie, Mickey and Ariel.

Never thought I would see this in my lifetime.

The impeachment trial (second) lasted five days and #45 was acquitted by a vote of 57 to 43. The Democrats did a wonderful job and it was so disturbing seeing the videos of the insurrection. The defense attorneys were idiots and the majority of the Republicans voted based on party lines. We also talk about the 3rd year anniversary of the death of my sister. I miss her...
