Birthday Dip in the Spa-a-a-a-a-h
What better way to spend a birthday at our beautiful retirement home in the desert, than to relax and enjoy a dip in the spa with a cold beer? Of course, this was not the only thing we did to celebrate. Verna served a wonderful pasta and salad dinner with garlic toast and limoncello. Earlier, she gave me a funny birthday card which made me laugh.
New Artwork Added to Office
Last week, we sent our granddaughter a baby care package. Verna picked out things that a new mother would need after giving birth plus some little outfits for our first great grandson. The granddaughter, in return, sent us a wonderful gift: a framed 3D ultrasound image of his little face with a colorful card.
I just hanged up the picture in our office today where I can see his little face as I sit at the computer. Click on the image and the picture link to enlarge.
Dropped Food Emergency Cleanup Crew
Verna was in the kitchen preparing Meaty Ziti Casserole while Cabela and Bay Bay anxiously awaited for her to drop something their way. She will generally oblige them by launching an occasional tidbit for them while ensuring the treats are equally divided.
Catalina Flashback
When we got married on Catalina Island, it was about five years before we returned for another visit. This photo was from our vacation there in September of 2004, almost ten years ago.
I was rummaging around some of the photo archives on the terabyte disk and found this one taken as we departed for the mainland. Click on the image to enlarge.
