1 day ago
CSPAN is hosting White House Week! It is so facinating, Terry and I are off this morning and killed the whole morning watching the behind the scenes prep for the state dinners for the Queen and the President of France! I'm so bummed I'll miss the rest of the week! ...
As our tradition is, we start out Christmas morn' refueling with the Great Tommy Burgers chili burgers and chili fries!!Nothing says Christmas like a Tommy burger!Cleaning up, I noticed how sparkling clean Taylor's room was, great job Taylor!But what did you do with all the car seats, parts and equipment that was in here?Nevermind, I see where! Oh, Sean, you weren't even gone...
It started out like all afternoons in So. Cal. Traffic on the freeways! All 2 hours of it to go a 40 min. trip. We sang every Christmas tune on the radio!! As soon as we arrived, John put the ipod up and set the Reliant K Christmas CD in to set the mood in the kitchen!!Very nice, John. Merry Christmas indeed!! The...

Her nose was running, The tissues were flying No one even gave a thoughtSt. Nicholas was coming.And Mama with her coughingSnug under her wrapBegan to panicAnd banished her nap. Away to the mall she flew like a flashEight hours later, she unloaded the stash.Those...
Katie, I saw your post and amazingly I had this photo in my camera ready to post! Yesterday, I stopped and got 1 milk, Terry came home with one, and there were 2 opened and 2 unopened in the frigde already! I thought we were losing our minds! ...
Feeling better, thanks! Almost good as new.As I've shared before, Taylor has been doing photo shoots for his class. (these are photos of the photos, can't upload the 35mm, so quality is much better, actually)This one he actually shot at the same place as the photo booth I blogged earlier. Just as a portrait. He liked it so much that he printed it....
It is so miserable to be sick this close to the holidays! ...
We dropped off Grandma the other night. This is what we found in front of her house. Now, she has complained to us before about inconsiderate neighbors doing this, but I'd never seen it quite like this! She lives next to the steps and these people bring up the cans for pick up the next day. Unfortunately, only about 1/2 of them ever...
We have a family tradition of going to church Sunday morning followed by going out to breakfast/brunch.When you have a birthday, you get to choose the restaurant-anyone, your favorite. And you choose anything on the menu.Of course, when the kids were kids, this was a very big deal. They felt like a King.Sean had a bithday in Sept. However, his choice was the...
I was just getting ready to post and WOW!! What was that?? Oh yeah, the space shuttle just landed at Edwards Air Force Base and broke the sound barrier! Cool, everyone in So. Cal. was just reminded of that! ...
Here's Maureen and Terry working on the gravy. Now this gravy has a 20+ year history of being made ever so carefully by Pat. Over the years, Maureen and I stood by year after year after year as we were so studiously taught the art of gravy making. This is the "culinary masterpiece" of the Holiday dinner. We were taking it on ourselves!!...
Happy Thanksgiving to all!! ...
LA got rain! Over the last 24 hours we got wet in the amount of about 2 inches of rain. That kind of rain got 1500 people evacuated and flash flood warning to go out all over the place! Thankfully, we survivied without mud slides and houses going down hillsides. So. Cal. just doesn't do well with Weather! I enjoyed it, might even...
