Variety is my spice of life

Today, I spent time with two young moms and their children in our church. Brittany is 4 and Lauryn will be 2 in October.

Yesterday I went to my Dorcas Circle. It meets once a month. We pray for missionaries and read their newsletters. The lady on the end in blue and the one in the middle with sunglasses are on our volleyball team. LouAnne just gave up surfing five years ago when she got swimmers ear. They have all lived in this area for most of their lives.

We are planning to send this blanket and two more like it to widows in Ukraine. These ladies are so full of life. They always make me laugh.

My Mom's visit to California

Mom and I went to Disneyland while she was here. She loves it there and I can never go too many times. We went on rides that were shady and had short lines. It was a wonderful day. It takes about 45 minutes to get there. The weather here has been in the 70's. Mom is planning on moving here in March when the lease of her apartment is up. She realized that a major factor in feeling good is the weather. We are blessed with incredible weather. We have many people her age in our church and they all loved her.

Another New Baby Born at Church

Carmen Burnanski was born last week. Rosa, John, and their 4 year old Brittany attend our church. Rosa was a doctor in Mexico. Her husband John is an American. Rosa delivered Carmen in the chair next to the delivery bed. She was delivered by the nurses 15 minutes after they got to the hospital. The baby is only 3 hours old here.

Our First Wedding Shower

Frank and Mayra will be our first wedding in the church. They have been dating for 8 years. Frank is in school. He wants to be a history teacher. Mayra works for a company in Westwood, near UCLA.

We had Margarit and Patricia, two of our college girls, sing "Going to the Chapel". Everyone loved it.

In the background you see can see our sanctuary church.

Kirstin in Alice in Wonderland

John and had the great joy of seeing one of the teenagers in our church dance in the Ballet of Alice in Wonderland. The performance was just magnificent and Kirstin Marshal(age 13 ) was adorable.

Visit from Ron and Onilla

Ron and Onilla came for 3 days and 4 nights. We visited the beach and the Ronald Reagan
Presidential Library. While we were there, Michael Reagan, Reagan's adopted son just happened to arrive at the bookstore. We met him.

John and Ron went to the new Angels Stadium.

I introduced Nilla to Ikea.I know Heather will be thrilled. It was so great to have such extended time together.

Ron even fixed our sprinkers and front door. We love them!
