John's flight in the WWII T-6 Trainer Plane

John was grinning as he enjoyed a once in a lifetime experience flying a "WWII Warbird" T-6 Trainer plane this month. He maneuvered rolls and loops...and loved every minute of it. The video camera showed the view through the windshield and it was awesome! What a memorable way to honor John's 60th Birthday!

We just returned from a weekend get-away down south! We visited with Tate & Jody in San Diego - something we don't do enough! It was so relaxing - a real vacation. We enjoyed Mimi's Cafe (courtesy of Jody's work) and fun card games Friday night.


Then Saturday Jody treated us to a day at Sea World. What a beautiful park! We had fun feeding the little fish to the sea lions and dolphins! That was really neat. As you might expect, we were very impressed by Shamu...the whole show was so amazing and really very touching! (I felt really silly getting teary-eyed watching a whale jump.) Thank you, Jody, for a really special day!
The wedding we attended Saturday night was beautiful - a wonderful mixture of elegance and fun! With about 200 other guests, we helped Maxine & Alan celebrate the end of a 24 year courtship! John enjoyed reconnecting with some former co-workers from LA County (where Max still works). We had a great time.

Welcome to our new blog! Dawn helped me create this site today...now I'll see if I can figure it out enough to continue! I can't say how often I'll update this but I'm going to try to add some pictures.

The latest photos I have are of my visit with Arlene in April. We had a marvelous time in South Lake Tahoe! Karina was with us for a weekend, then later in the week Terri joined us for a couple of days. We relaxed, watched movies, drove around beautiful Lake Tahoe and went to historical Virginia City. We had a wonderful time and it was just so good to spend time together.
