Eddie's 50th




Dining Fun

  We celebrated Eddie's 50th at the Medieval Times where you watch a show and eat with your hands.  We had a great time, except for Eddie. He was struggling with stomach flu -- vomiting and other symptoms which I won't mention in this post.  He was feeling 50... so, it was a real wake-up call that he has aged!  His iron clad stomach is not so iron clad anymore. 

We had two weeks of great fun -- going to Hollywood Bowl for the Grease Sing-along, watching a Dodger Game at Dodger Stadium (the Dodgers lost), going to the mall for movie (RED 2) and mall food (I had Panda Express.) and eating lots of pies from Marie Callendar's. 

It was so sad to say goodbye to Eddie, Sandy, Nicolas and Emily the next day as they headed back to Australia. 

I never even had time to go for a run with my sweet brother!

FREE FOOD

What would you do for free food?  Well, on July 12th, I found out... to dress up as a herd of cows to go and get a free meal at Chick-filet.  Needless to say, I was thinking this was totally weird. But when we walked towards the fast food restaurant, we saw other 'herds' all dressed up and walking in.  In case you're wondering why I don't look like a black and white cow -- I was a purple cow... and my niece, Emily, was a brown dairy cow!  This was also Kurtis' 16th birthday celebration.  My brother, Eddie, came from Australia for a visit with his family. My husband's mom and Aunt Ethel were also there. So, we had a herd of 13 cows!  What a FUN evening!!!!

New Place with Old Friends

This is not Italy. It's Newport Coast at the Triton's Fountain!

Right by the pool at the Villa!

What a great weekend, hanging out with my best friends -- Pam and Suz.  Pam reserved the place and planned the menu for the whole weekend.  I never ate so well.  Everything was gourmet style and so very healthy.  I don't know how 72 hours went by so quickly as we spent most of our time in the room, chatting away.  We did go to Saddleback Church on Sunday morning.  We did go for a walk at Crystal Cove State Park and Beach.  We did get to skype Corenne and talk to her. That was so fantastic! I tried to get Pam and Suz out to the fitness center for a workout or a jog... Notice the word -- TRIED.  I did go out for a run around the trails and along PCH.  But there were many things we did not do... We did not go for a swim. We did not go shopping at any thrift stores.  We did not SING any of our old favorites in the jacuzzi as we did not go in the hot tub.  Time just went by way too fast.  Looking at the pictures... we all agree -- we haven't changed a bit in 33 years!
