Mom’s White Rose

We visited Mom and Dad today. While we were there, Mom showed us her white rose, which only blooms about every three years or so. Too bad, because it is quite pretty. Click image below to enlarge.

Just after she got her haircut, my sister, Brenda (a.k.a. “BB”), posed for this snapshot in front of Mom and Dad’s house. She was in Mom’s car, just arriving at the house.

Air Inglewood

Fiji 747We have been going to visit Mom and Dad very often in recent weeks. Dad is quite ill, but is at home. When we visit, we often sit out in their patio to get fresh air and enjoy conversation with Mom and my sisters who also are frequently there (one of them is almost there full time taking care of Dad.

Mom and Dad’s house is near the approach path to LAX; consequently, airliners on approach pass close overhead. While relaxing in Mom’s patio, I took this picture of a Fiji Boeing 747 in landing configuration about two miles from touchdown. What a pretty paint job! Click 4 really big.

Going Ape

Well, it’s an old expression, but completely appropriate for these slippers Mom and Dad gave me for Christmas. I just love them!

On Approach to LAX

I was at Mom and Dad’s today. They live near the Los Angeles Airport. I took this picture of an airliner on approach to the airport from their front yard. I thought the sun and the clouds made a nice backdrop for the airplane. Click for a larger view.
