Mom turns 83

Here I am giving a "speech" at the presidential podium at the Reagan Library.
It was interesting to see how the teleprompters work.

After dinner we sang, "Happy birthday to YOU!"

Robin made this delicious cake. She & David
flew out to Dallas for a week the day after our party.

The Girls.
We were hoping to skype with Luanne and take a picture
of the 4 of us, but the difference in time and Luanne's responsibilities
made it impossible.

A Day at the Beach

Well, today we played hooky and had breakfast at one of our favorite places,
The Cliffs, in Laguna.
When Heather was almost 2, she looked at the beach below us and said, "BIG sandbox!"

These guys were paddle surfing as we enjoyed our omelets.

After this picture, I took off my jacket and we enjoyed the lovely sunshine.

Near the restaurant are tiny shops with local artisans showing their wares. This shop is new and carried lots of Russian gifts. I got this set of 3 eggs with the Nativity painted on them. On the back of the cross are Mary, Joseph & Baby Jesus.

We drove down PCH a little and went in to look around Aliso Creek Inn.
Then we parked at Aliso Creek Beach Park and walked along the sand.
Look up at the mansion at the top!

After poking around for awhile, we sat in the car which was facing
the sea and did our Bible study lessons. :-)

On the way home we spotted a cute Gelato shop in Laguna and went in for a cup.
I got chocolate sorbet and Kirk got 2 scoops, coconut & chocolate Hazelnut-Yum!
