Mom and Dad bought us tram tickets, which took us over 8,500 feet above sea level! If you want a good idea of what that is like, just watch the old episode of Dirty Jobs where Mike Rowe helps the crew maintain the tram cars. It is freaky high. So high that I had to [...]

Dr. T, Cuca’s and The Center of the Earth
Posted in Uncategorized on July 18, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Today was a day of lots of aloe vera for my face and Cuca’s for my tummy. Let me explain. First we went to my mom’s retirement party at Dr. T’s. Yes, she officially left the office in December, but you know her. She loves to retire and then come back like Brett Favre. I [...]

Francine and I took our girls to Legoland. Francine had never been, and Jane is the same age Daryn was (5) when we took her. I was so impressed with Legoland back then that I vowed to go again so Allyn could fully enjoy it. Short lines, totally imaginative lego set ups, good food, and [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
