Christmas 2012 Another amazing year for the Roses of Roseville! That’s what I said, THE ROSES OF ROSEVILLE! We are settled in Sun City Roseville, California. This is exactly what we have been looking for the last few years and can’t believe our luck in finding it. It is a 55+ golf course community with 27 holes of golf, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, great clubs and neighbors and close to family. We moved in on January 30 and Dwight had a golf cart by February 2. We have comfortable guest quarters and several family and friends have already signed our guestbook. We hosted our first holiday, Easter, with family and friends and our traditional Egg Hunt. We are halfway between San Francisco and Lake Tahoe and we have had several ... read more

Hello again, Just when we thought we had nothing to add to the blog..........Adam became engaged to Jessica Palumbo! We are in Hawaii as are Jessica's parents. The perfect time for an announcement. Last Friday on Kauai, at the top of the trail overlooking the Napali Coastline, Adam proposed to Jessica and she said yes! Just to give you a little background, in case you don't all ready know........This is like a made for TV movie. Adam and Jessica met at age 5 and 6 in Singapore where both families had overseas postings in the 1980's. Over the years the two families have kept in touch at least at Christmas time with cards and letters explaning the activities and whereabouts of our children. Adam moved to Hawaii in 2006 and Jessica in 2007. Through the correspondence ... read more

Greetings from the Roseville Rose's!!!! We found a home so our our Homeless Odyssey has come to an end!!! So this will be our final BLOG update. We have settled in a Del Web Active Adult community in Roseville, CA which is a suburb Sacramento. About two hours East of San Franciscco, 2 hours West of Tahoe/Reno and about 1.5 hours from Napa Valley. So a great location to entertain all of our friends around the world when they come to visit us!!! It has 27 holes of golf. Our home is not on the golf course but Dwight bought a golf cart so it is a very short drive to the clubhouse. So far Dwight has managed to play all 7 days in March. Joan has played several times also. There is also an indoor ... read more

We are here and have taken possession of our new home. We are waiting for our furniture, sleeping on the floor with a blow up mattress and sleeping bags. We borrowed a card table and two chairs from Joan's brother. But life is sweet and we are delighted with our choice of homes. As it turned out, both boys were here on Monday when we moved in. Adam flew in from Honolulu (direct flights from Honolulu to Sacramento on Hawaiian Air - good to know) on Sunday night to go skiing with Ben at Lake Tahoe. So Ben picked him up at the house and we all shared our first meal together. McDonald's on the patio, no chairs! This certainly bodes well for seeing more of the family! Here is our new address: 5995 Timberlodge Lane ... read more

We are in Pe Ell, Washington home of Dwight's family and we woke up this morning to 12 inches of snow! We thought we left this behing in Chicago. What gives? We have been here since December 13 helping out with Dwight's sister and family. His brother in law fell in November and broke his neck. Fortunately we had planned to be here anyway. He is doing well and when we leave next week he will be in good hands. Nice thing about a small town....everyone is either a friend or a relative. We spent New Year's Eve with our grandsons at First Night Tacoma. We made party hats at the Chahuly (sp) Glass Museum. We will be leaving here to take possission of our new home next Wednesday. We close on Monday, Jan 30 and ... read more
