Baby Sitting

We babysat Leezza. She laughed and played the whole time. Now she claps.

Reagan and Jean

This is Reagan and Jean at the turtle pond when we went to have lunch with him on Wilshire Blvd. where he works.

Nixon Library

Lee is doing his Nixon impression before he leaves on the helicopter.

I am enjoying the huge, yellow "St. Patrick" roses in the rose garden.

Easter 2009

We attended a piano concert by Howard Cowles at the Nixon Library theater on Easter Sunday. He played his original pieces, and what ever the audience wanted to hear. For me it was "Somewhere in Time," and he played it. I liked the scripture he put on the program: Ecc. 4:9-10,

"Two are better than one; because they have a good reward
for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow:
but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help
him up."

We took a tour of the library after the concert. Both he and Pat were buried on the property.

Amazingly, the grounds included the original home his father built, and all the furnishings from his youth had been preserved in storage by a family member after his mother's death.

We want to live in this cute house.

Anniversary

Lee and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with all of our children

and all of our grandchildren.

Balloons

While visiting with family in Utah I came upon this piece at the BYU Art Gallery. A crew of artists used balloons to put together this huge creation that took up one wall. Fun!

Paella

No, this is not from a very fancy restaurant. This is the paella that Hai Minh served to us last Saturday. Inside were big shrimp and delicious sausages. What a cook!
