Funny thing about Southern California, one day it’s 80 degrees, the next we have snow. I took these coming home from Burbank in our surrounding hills.
Fun.

Around the World in Truck
Sandy and I went to a dinner party in Pasadena celebrating Noble Trenham’s trip around the world fifty years ago (1959-1962). They drove 80,000 miles for a total distance of 110,000 miles (including the water trips), hitting all 6 Continents. What a story they told (he went with one other person). They brought the truck for display. This is kind of like our trip in 1976 across the western United States...right guys?
Here we are at a Dodger game a few years ago...

Africa and Atheists
I have a good friend who is giving up his medical practice to become a missionary/teacher in Malawi, Africa. He’s gently prodding us to join him, but I don’t think we’ll join him for various reasons--as much as I think the work would be rewarding. He came to mind when I read this article this morning and thought I’d share the article as a good thought for the new year...
Title: As an atheist, I truly believe Africa needs God
CORRECTION:... Becoming a missionary in South Africa. (He’s been going to Malawi, Africa for the last few years...)

Typical Day
Today was a typical Christmas Holiday day. It started at the Smoke Zone with Dave enjoying a fine cigar...
We had periodic updates from Paul, who is in Illinois with Heather and her brother Jayden, regarding the tornado warnings in his area...
Then it was off to dinner with Theule’s...
which of course included our wonderful grand-daughter, Penelope!
Life is GOOD!!!

After about 7 months without being able to hold Penelope in my arms, I held her. Life is good!

Snow?
Who could have even predicted we’d ever get snow 3 miles from the house. On the way to the tower I took these pictures in the Newhall Pass. Then, at the tower I was able to get a panoramic view of the valley’s snow fall. Cool.
Here’s the Newhall Pall by the house (14 and 5 interchange)

Mazatlan from the sky...
I was able to take my iPhone with me in the sky above the Sea of Cortez to snap away. My favorite shot was the panoramic view of the beach and bar.
Zipping, Para Sailing, and Snorkling...Ahhhh
I must say, Zipping through the forest for almost an hour with 10 different lines was quite the thrill. The four of us (Mom, Dad, Max, and I) loved every minute of it!

Celebrating Thanksgiving early
Since Sandy and I are going on a cruise, missing Thanksgiving, Sandy decided to cook up a Thanksgiving meal last night with all the trimmings. We had a good time with friends and family. Life is Good. (Paul decided to jump out of the picture. He knew the camera would break.)
