New Years Eve

We took a drive today in the convertible since it was such a nice day. Verna drove us to Malaga Cove and afterwards to get some DVDs to watch on the new TV tonight.

Casa Blanca Asian Lilies

A couple of weeks ago, I bought this beautiful Casa Blanca Asian Lily in a Christmas wrapped planter. At that time there were five flower pods which opened into this fragrant and eye-appealing bouquet. I just love these.

A Crummy Commercial?

Here’s an unusual photo opportunity – a scenic lighthouse with an island in the background with a seagull flying above – thrown into the mix this time, however, is a crummy commercial.

I think the occupants were there trying to spot migrating whales. Taken today at Point Vicente.

New Sanyo 42″ HDTV

We did some post-Christmas shopping at WAL*MART® to get our present to each other, this new 42-inch HDTV. We waited for the after-holiday sale prices to kick in. It sure looks good with “Pirates of the Caribbean – At World’s End” playing on the screen.

San Pedro’s Red Cars

Last week we took a drive to the harbor area; while we were there, we stopped at the 22nd Street Red Car Station. Verna took a photo as this holiday-decorated trolley pulled into the station.

I have a special interest in the Red Cars, since my Grandfather was a motorman during the 1930s and 1940s. On a rainy day last year, we took a ride on the red car.
