Brunch and Museum with Friends

Watch the above short video clip of geese enjoying the pond just outside the museum.

We went to our friends for brunch and then to the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena. We had a great time seeing everyone again and enjoyed the day. Thank you Don, Bette and Beverly for your wonderful hospitality and the fantastic brunch!

Holiday Feast With Friends

Yesterday we went to Beaumont for a gathering with life time friends at Harry's and Carroll's. Gordon is so fortunate to be able to get-together with friends from his youth. He's known everyone at the party since 1954 when they started high school together in Colton, CA. In fact, he's known Beverly and Bette since he was 4 years old!

Thank you Harry & Carroll for your hospitality and the wonderful holiday feast! We had fun!

Holiday Dinner with Friends

We served tamales for our guest last Friday for our holiday dinner. Remember, the ones my hubby waited in line for two and a half hours at the Tamale Festival?

This year I didn't make my usual Gingerbread Men cookies the traditional way. Instead, I prepared them by using a Gingerbread Quick Spice Bread mix. When I took them out of the oven I was very surprised! They looked more like the Pillsbury Doughboy instead. My friend, thought my cookies looked like devils. LOL!

Brigitte, your pot holders you made us are so cool, I included them in the above video. We love it! Carroll and Harry, I would have posted a picture of the box of See's Candies you gave us, but we ate them all!

Dinner Last Night

We went out to dinner at the Elephant Bar Restaurant to meet our friends Dennis and Brigitte. Gordon and Dennis were high school classmates. I took the above pictures with my iPhone. You can see the moon in the background.
