We’re back in California this evening. We have some important family business to attend to, and have to visit the old domicile to collect some information and a couple of things. We will be heading home on Wednesday. Click on the image to enlarge.

An Old Photo of Our Wedding Day
This is not the original photo, but one that Verna took of a picture that I had in a stack of stuff in the safe. I was rummaging around looking for something else when I found this one. I also found some pictures of my Mom taken in 1938 on her wedding day. I may post that one soon. Click on the image to enlarge.
Two Tall Palm Trees
Our California second home is currently undergoing some remodeling, so we had to stay in a hotel this time out to visit family and friends. The place we stayed in Torrance, CA, had some really tall palm trees in their landscape scheme. I took two images of the two palms next to our room and combined them into this vertical panoramic image. Click on the image to see in the image viewer.
Disguising Cellphone Towers
It sure is a good thing that the powers that be disguised this cellphone tower as a fake conifer tree so that it wouldn’t detract from the beautiful scenery at this location in San Bernardino, California along the side of Interstate 10. Look how much better the conifer makes the scenery look. </sarcasm>
Bacon-Wrapped Beef Tenderloin Steaks
A few weeks ago, I spotted some heart-of-the-tenderloin beef steaks (filet mignon) in the butcher case at the supermarket. We had something else planned for the weekend cooking then, but regardless, I bought them and put them in the freezer for a later date. Well, here we are in Memorial Day Weekend grilling mode and those steaks made for a great grilling experience. Verna wrapped the steaks in slices of bacon before I took them to the grill.
The meal was awesome! Verna had some roasted sweet and red potatoes on the side and I roasted some corn cobs on the grill while the steaks were cooking. The results were DELICIOUS!
