Kaylene and her Dad watching the snow.
Yep! Delicious!
Maybe, if I'm patient, I'll get another one.

Jolene, Kaylene and Dave come for a visit.

Ymmmmm, mini cupcakes!

Kaylene comes for a visit!


Dave and Kaylene stopped by for a surprise visit yesterday. It seems their Community Center was closed for the day, so they decided to visit us and our community of ducks. There are all kinds of ducks down at our pond and are fun to watch. However, yesterday they seemed to be cranky and territorial. Me thinks there are ducklings in our future soon. It is spring you know!

La Grande Orange


When we visit Pasadena, we almost always go to some fun restaurants. Lots of folks have been to a Cheesecake Factory, the home of big food. Was very tasty. One evening we went to a spot not too far from where they live called the LaGrande Orange. It's housed in an old train station and the food is very good. Nice times.

Santa Anita Racetrack





Oops, I got one picture in twice! Oh well! While we were visiting the kids, they took us to the racetrack. When the horses are not racing, they exercise them early in the morning. You can sit and watch this go on, while having breakfast track side. I'm not sure why this is such a neat thing to do, but it is. We got there about 7:30 am. You sit outside under heat lamps, as it is pretty cool, but everything is so fascinating to watch, you forget about the cold. You can get pretty close to the horses as they gallop by. Such fun! Seabiscuit was kept here, and they have a thing called the Seabiscuit tour, which started much later in the day, so we didn't partake. Next time!

Trip to Pasadena in early February

We spent a few days with the Holt's earlier in the month. Martha is blowing up the bed and Augie is thinking this is quite the fun thing. Very bouncy!

Norma and Dave

We rarely have a photo of us taken together. It seems that one of us is always taking the photo. Anyway, every year, Hertz has a pot luck Christmas party for the transporters. They have a gift exchange and everyone brings something very tasty to eat. So---here we are enjoying our coffee before dessert. I think we both look pretty good.
