Thursday the 10th we were able to have dinner with Bud, the guy who got Lance started in radio. Bud knows I’m really warming up to sushi, so he took us to Mikuni. Although I ordered something pretty tame, he insisted I try the Japanese Mafia roll, which was great! I know it had some [...]

Fire ‘n’ Food

Unlike the smog post from earlier, today’s blue skies were transformed due to all the Northern California wildfires that are going on. This photo was taken about 1pm. Yes, middle of the day, not sunrise or sunset. It was weird, like an eclipse or something. However, that paled in comparision to the choking smoke smell [...]
Photos and Visits, NO CAMERA!

Wednesday was probably one of the busiest days we have had, and I left the camera at home. So, these photos are from Linda’s camera! We took the girls to the mall to get their photos done. While they were waiting, they took a few laps on a video rollercoaster game. The photos this year [...]
Girls and Shopping

Today was all about the girls. Lance and I took Daryn, Allyn, Gracie and Daisy to see Wall-E. Very cute movie. The plot isn’t too complex, but the robots are lovable and the message is poignant. Lance sat at one end, I sat on the other. We had ‘em lined up with their popcorn boxes [...]

Last night, July 5th, we decided to meet up with Bryan, Missy, Gracie and Daisy at Chili’s. On the way there, Mark and Courtney spied us and decided to join us as well. Today, we took the girls to a nearby park, but it was so hot all we could do was sit in the [...]

Ok, I’ve finally recovered from the annual Ballance Family Fourth of July at Bryan and Missy’s house. There were so many pictures, so I decided to make a movie for you all to enjoy. You’ll see Lance’s brother, Bryan, and his wife Missy. Mark, also Lance’s brother, and his wife Courtney are doing fireworks, along [...]
Foot and Cake

Well, the foot will walk again! I actually ace bandaged it, kept it elevated, and iced it. I tried to go to urgent care, but they couldn’t verify my insurance because the office was closed. So, instead of paying the $175 doctor fee, plus any other expenses, I opted for reliable, free advice from Dad [...]
Disaster…

Ok, so maybe this isn’t truly a disaster, but I intend to find out today. Last night, after I blogged, I was helping Mom Linda in the garage. She was trying to get something out of the bottom of the laundry bin when she lost her footing. I tried to grab her, but my attempt [...]
So Cal to No Cal

We traveled today from Southern California to Northern California. On the way, I spied the familiar brown skies of the Golden State. I had to snap a picture because many non-Californians do not understand that the skies are literally brown. Here. This is smog. Of course, I noticed immediately how ironic it is that these [...]

My parents are in a little retirement community with a golf course. One thing they do for the 4th is have a parade of all their golf carts fully adorned with red, white and blue decor. My father said that he was just going to stick a flag on the cart. Now mind you, he is very [...]
