More Santa Barbara....

These are a few random photos of the Holt "moving to Pasadena" party. Very nice time and so many lovely people.

Went just spent the last four days in Santa Barbara visiting Muf, Zach and Augie. They are preparing to move to Pasadena, so this was our last S.B. trip. We'll probably go back some day, but certainly not with the same regularity that has been in the past. Martha has lived there for 17 years. There was a saying good bye party given by many of their friends on Sunday, as well as Augie's dedication at church. It was a happy time, but also a time of many tears. We did some working around the house to get ready for the move, and ate out at a few of our favorite places. We found a new spot we really like, called Yogurtland. It's a wonderful concept and the yougurt is great. One can only hope that someone will open one in Pasadena. We drove around town a bit on Saturday, remembering many good times. We'll miss you Santa Barbara.

Boathouse for Brunch

This is a lovely little restaurant right on the water. The waves were very unusual, as they were pretty big. Not good for surfing I guess. The break up too soon. However, great for watching.
The recent rain storms they have had created all this "water churning".

Solid food.

Kaylene brought her parents over for dinner Saturday night. She is starting to eat some solid foods. She seems to enjoy rice cereal and squash. Peas? Not so much!

Just a couple of cute pictures of our grandchildren.

The time immediately after Christmas is always sort of slow. Not much going on. So, you can see I'm scratching the bottom of the barrel for things to post. So....here ya go! I'm creating little Gramma/Grandpa books of our grandchildren. We think these little people are "very fun" and would be glad to show you these books anytime! =)

New Year's morning.

Dad got up and made us pancakes. We also had bacon, juice, etc. The rest of our friends came over around 6 for dinner. Had a very nice time. They all went back to their respective cities the next day. It was a very nice way to end the holidays.

Folks on the couch.

New Year's Day

Everybody is eatin' chili, salad and corn bread. Nice time

Just hangin' around......

For the past three days we've had the honor of having our "Friendoris" with us from Chicago. Here are some photos of her and Dave just enjoying the tree and fussing about etc. =)

I'm very sorry.......

I didn't get to Santa Barbara for Martha's birthday. =(
