Easter Sunday ten years ago in Moreno Valley.

Remembering Aunt Joyce

This was from our visit in August last year.

She showed us how to stretch and starch hankies.

We love and miss you Aunt Joyce!

They came from Utah, Colorado and Texas......

Michelle and Alicia buying out the store to make baby foo-foo stuff.

Presley is done shopping.

We loved having Lisa, Michelle, Alicia and new babies come visit us in Arizona. They are really cute babies and Michelle and Alicia are such good mommies. My mom loved feeding us all and taking lots of pictures with the newest great-grandbabies. Chessie I think its time for another visit so oma and opa can see those California great-grandbabies.

Guess what I did.

Yes I finally did the colon thing. I will never look at Gatorade the same way. Dropped 5 pounds in one day. I am sure I will gain it back this week. Ron took me to the hospital at 6:30 a.m. and home by noon. The lady in admitting asked me why I was having this procedure.................are you kidding me? I told her it wasnt for fun and she laughed and said she had to ask for insurance reasons. The correct answer is for "screening." I think I have years full of "screening" ahead. Something about the 50's and all the fun things that your body does and does not do. (Mostly does not do)

Charcoal and plastic bags dont mix

Paul decided to grill some brats in the firepit. They never cooked so he gave up and let the coals die out. Later that night he checked it out and all was dry so he dumped the ash into the garbage can. Bad idea. The next night we kept smelling BBQ and could not figure out where the smell was coming from. Ron took out some garbage and found the can was full of white smoke and was about to burst into flames. Plastic garbage bags melt pretty good. Lesson learned. No more charcoal for Paul!

Richard and Ronald

We had a short but nice visit with Ron's older brother last Sunday. He brought us some yummy homemade treats from grandma and grandpa white.

4th Advent

We had some yummy goulosh, spaetzle and cookies. Hopefully we will have room for Christmas Eve dinner over at Omas.
