Countdown

We are really moving. We will have a new phone # which means I need to remember more numbers.
I forgot how many things one keeps over the years. We have really purged the house that we are leaving and hope that we are not transferring any clutter.
Things are coming together as Linder and I seam to be fraying at our ends. Whoever scheduled things didn't look at the calendar very well. We will move this weekend then leave for Utah to take Kaylee back to the "Y". This doesn't leave much beach time. Its a good thing that it stays warm enough to go in September.
I want to send a big THANK YOU to Shayla and Kaylee. They have done a lot of the work getting things ready. Kaylee will only get to spend a night or two before leaving. It has been a long hot summer. I will be glad when I can just sit down and enjoy the new house.

K&K visits

Now that I know Emma is checking out the Blogs I have to be more diligent in posting.

I am enjoying visit with Karina and Kelsi. I just love her giggles.

She also loved the beach as all the granddaughters do.

Grandma and Kelsi enjoyed the day. I can't wait until everyone can come and go the beach.
The beach will remember Kelsi now and awaits her many return visits.

I know that Tamar being in the Hospital misses the beach. I do have it on good information that the beach will wait for her and her son Kyle. We really do miss all of you but are very happy that we live in a world that allows us all to so easily stay in touch.

I know Kelsi's dad secretly misses the beach and we can't wait for him to join us this Christmas. Who knows maybe with global warming we'll go to the beach in December. We miss you John.

New things!

First of all I want to say thank you to my daughter Karina for updating my back ground and adding links. Thanks Kiddo.

I also want to say a big THANKS to Trevor's wonderful mom for putting on pictures of her trip back with lil princesses.
We are supposed to close escrow on the 14Th. I am not getting cold feet but this should be easier. I am not sure how people do this. I am glad that I won't be doing this again for some time.

August is here and I need to get to the beach soon. I have wasted to many Saturday's looking at homes and not enough times looking a sand and waves.Maybe I will get back to the beach around Labor Day....what am I thinking that is the start of college football.

WOO HOO!

HERE IS OUR NEXT HOME!!!!

Well it looks like we finally have found our home. Since we will be in debt again it means everybody should be getting blessed again with good health. We will be watching Tamar and Shalya to see if theory works.

We have entered escrow on a home in La Habra. If you don't know where this is it puts us closer to Disneyland. Also a bit closer to the beach. We are excited to finally have a property that we can call our own.

I am loading a few pictures to give a bit a an idea as to what it will look like. Of course we won't have the furniture as of yet but I have no problem with being on the floor.

Now all the fun begins. Wish us luck.

BIG BANG FRIDAY!!!!!

Went to the Red Sox vs. Angels game last night. Friday nights are always the game followed by fireworks. Our seats were awesome as we were behind the Red Sox Dugout six rows from the field.

The game had alot of fireworks of its own we lots of homeruns. The Angels won but it was fun to be there. We saw Manny being Manny when he dived for a bloop hit and missed. Then got up and fell and rolled over the ball. What should have been an out or even a single turned into a tripple. Thanks for the smile Manny.

The fireworks display was good and I recorded some of it. If you watch the video it is a bit loud and nothing like seeing it in person.

I gave tickets to my brother Paul and his family as well but Didn't remember where they were sitting so didn't see them during the game. Pauls phone was in the car charging so I hope he had a good time as well.

If anyone come to visit and wants tickets to Angels or Dodgers let me know I might be able to pass some on.

Catching Up!!

Events happen and we give them little notice. It has been a couple of weeks and many events happen that I should have blogged about but have not. Here are just a few things that have happened. Here are a few in no particular order.

1. Looked at more homes
2. Shayla gave a great talk in sacrament.
3. Sung in a male quartet
4. Fasted and Prayed for Miracles then saw them happen.
5. Went to see the Red Sox play.
6. Celebrated the 4Th with family.

Since I am the worst speller in the universe and have little patience with the keyboard. I thought I would cheat and use something that has pictures to help. After all pictures are worth a thousand words an no spell check involved.

Went to Rachael's on the 4th. We barbecued and had fun. My sister Lisa and family were there and they had gone to Disneyland. The amazing thing was they returned with one of the princesses.

She never lost her glass slippers.We enjoyed relaxing and the festivities of the day. Here Linda, Shayla and Kelly relaxing.

We also got to discuss and ponder things. Here I am listening to Paul and thinking "what would I look like if I was bald or Gray?"

We all had a great day. Lisa even got a haircut for the occasion.

As always the food was great and we enjoyed the day. And Hope to enjoy more visit with the family.

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July .
I thought I would just write and tell you all how much I love this country. We live were we have amazing freedoms. I am so glad that I have this blessing in my life. I don't want this to be prideful but this is still the greatest country ever. We have our challenges as a people but we can always rise to the occasion.
I hope you all this day (as always) know I'll be thinking about you all.
Whatever the day brings, pancake breakfasts, barbecues, fireworks or whatever ,hope you enjoy and know we love and miss those who aren't with us.
We still don't have a home yet but we are waiting on the banks with 2 homes in La Habra. We will keep you posted.
