Babyback Ribs - Yummy!!!

Mother's Day dinner was early at the grandparents house. My older brother, Rod, on the left is having knee surgery today so we had our dinner yesterday. His wife, Linda, and son, Roderick, are to the left also. My dad was more interested in playing with the baby that never looked up for the family picture. Jared had to leave early for a baseball game so he is not in it.
We had a delicious meal. And today we have leftovers. yum!
We hope all of you have a wonderful Mother's Day with your loved ones.

Weekend at Pacific Beach



Last weekend we joined Danny and Patty at the ocean. Danny is Bill's brother-in- law. We had a wonderful time walking the beach, finding sand dollars, flying kites and watching the eagles. So we thank them both for a marvelous time and hope we can do it again. Our grandson, Van, and his parents came down for the day. We enjoyed the playground, and later went bowling.
In the evenings we would play card games, and watch movies. "Alvin and the Chipmunks" is real cute. "Dan in Real Life" was quite funny. We had an ocean view from the house we stayed in so Bill went out and captured this sunset on our last night.

Pacific Beach Weekend

We left a little message in the sand for our grandkids. We wish they could have been here playing and building sandcastles with us. We love and miss you all!

Hop, Hop, Hop

Van is always at the back window when Bill mows the yard. We have a variety of little frogs in various colors that Bill always finds to show to Van. This little guy was hard to catch but settled down enough to put on Van's arm for closer inspection.

Look who I have?

Tamara and I go up to my parents twice a week. We help around the house, cook them a meal, and do their shopping. Today Van was just as happy to see them as they were to see him. He even wore the froggy shirt Gr. Ida bought for him long time ago. He now fits into it. Gr. Ida and Van had a good giggle before we left to go back home.

There's nothing to see Grandpa

Grandpa took me for my first bike ride. We rode for 3 miles around the new housing development. We went slow and fast but there wasn't much to see. I was happy but after awhile I fell asleep so he took me home. Next time he says we will go to the bike trail. Yeah!
