Reason to Twitter

Here is a good explanation for getting into Twitter....mom.

New Zeppelin

The new Zeppelin that was built in Germany and came over to the United States for tours and transportation has arrived at Burbank Airport! It did a flyby and I captured it on film. Here are a few pictures of the event.

Michael Jackson Funeral

Here are RADAR pictures from Burbank Tower of Michael Jackson’s funeral. Just to give you perspective, Burbank Airport is in the center of the circle. The glob of targets are over Forest Lawn. And, yes, we talk to each one. FUN!

Fun in the City of San Francisco with the family

We went from one end of city to the next in San Francisco. Here are some pictures...

The family decided to visit the Monterey Aquarium today and had a great time. Below is the album of pictures that shows the amazing things we experienced and saw. Click here for the album

Paul's Screws and Plates

Paul had his cast taken off today, only to have surgery again in 6 months to take out the 5 pins and plate in his ankle. OUCH!

The Things You See...

Saw this driving down the freeway on the way home from golf.

The House Uncle Wayne Built......

Uncle Wayne built this very house. They moved a few years ago (thankfully). But it's still hard to watch.

Santa Barbara house gone

My aunt wrote to confirm what we suspected that her old house, and all the houses around it (including my grandparent’s old house on Tunnel Rd are gone due to the Santa Barbara fire. We have a lot of cherished memories on the hill growing up. Mom grew up there and we would go there quite often growing up. Below are some pictures of us young ones at the house. (I’m the lazy one on the chair...)

​

This is my grand parents house and all the others that are gone. This picture was taken in the 70’s.

My Aunt Mary and cousin Donna at the property.

Pool is Open!

The pool is heated and ready for the daily workouts. Anybody else who desires to workout in the pool is cordially invited to do so anytime. Remember, running is for wimps...swimmers are #1

Waving to Bolts

As I cross the Colorado River, I'm waving to Jim and Debbie in Bullhead

Paul's Motorcycle Accident

We’re counting our many blessings that Paul wasn’t hurt more than he was after being struck by a car on the freeway this morning. Other than a heavily bruised and strained back, deep arm laceration, and broken ankle, he's doing ok with the pain killers.

Interesting how it played out from my perspective: Jim Bolt calls me on the way to a funeral saying he’s looking at a pretty bad motorcycle accident on the freeway as he precedes to describe the damage. While talking to Jim, Sandy calls me so I tell Jim she’s calling and I take the call. She proceeds to tell me Paul’s been in a motorcycle accident and we need to go to the hospital right away (not knowing his condition). I call Jim back to let him know that the accident he saw was Paul and to pray. He told me later that he immediately pulled off on the side of the freeway to pray.

So, for a moment, I’m thinking the worse (Jim’s description was not promising...) and am simply perplexed as to what to do or think. Then it occurs to me to simply call Paul and see what happens. I call and he answers! He tells me he’s in an ambulance being taken to Holy Cross, that he’s in lot’s of pain but basically all right, considering. Phew. I then call Sandy to let her know and off we went to the hospital.

Thumbs up!

Tea Party

Paul and his girlfriend, Heather, went to our local Tea Party at the Civic Center here in Santa Clarita. After doing our taxes, I should have joined them!

Capitola Beach

Just hanging in Northern California, Capitola, Ca...sublime.

Life is Good

This is one good thing about retirement...
