Seal Beach with Gwen

My older sister, Gwen, moved from Arizona to Irvine. We spent a day at the beach. that's Christine buried in the sand.

Memorial Day at the Ranch

We went tothe R-Ranch on Memorial Day weekend with Christine's friend from school, Ellis. We all had a wonderful time! The girls went out on their own around the ranch with walkie-talkies--from the horses to the lake and to the general store. Tom and I each got a nap while the girls were out. Now THATS a vacation.

Christine and Ellis went to a hoola-hoop contest and entered a paddle boat contest; they came in 3rd place. We had a picnic by the stream. The hightlight was the trail ride and arena ride, and just spending time brushing, feeding, and petting the horses down by "Old Town".

...Bring May greenbeans and cucumbers

The garden is growing! What you see (besides a poor photograph) are the beans on the far right, and cucumbers next to them. The carrots are teeny, tiny. Don't know if they will actually grow.
