Dinner For Four

With Seth being home from Germany and
Matthew being home from living with my
parents, I decided to cook a home cooked
meal for the family. I even set the table.
Below you can see who showed up....



Actually I did cook a meal, not the one above,
I tried to get them to sit for the picture showing
all four of us. I guess that I should have used the
real food as bait...

Global Warming?

The east and mid-west get hit with snow
and ice before winter officially hits.

Closer to California in Las Vegas, a friends home
is covered with snow...



In southern California, the winter storm
that hit the north western states came down
to visit. I woke to go to work and had to
scrape my car of the ice.



On the way to work the hills over Northridge
and Chatsworth were lightly dusted with
snow...

I know it is not snow and the streets
are clear... I just think I must have
gone to work to early as it was all gone
from the car within an hour...

Parade in Oak Park

I guess that someone started a parade in
Oak Park for Christmas... some neighbors said
that it has been going on for a few years... some
decorate their car, or pull a trailer or their
boat... as we waited for it to happen by us,
you could hear the music and cheers from
around the neighborhood... a nice diversion...
after we went back to the house for the first
night of Chanukah dinner...

Forever Young by Bob Dylan

May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

The Great Dog/Animal Lover

Those that know me, know that I am a great dog/animal lover.
While visiting Uncle David's I was playing with his new dog Farrah.

Photographic proof of such.

Uncle David said Farrah was a rescue dog and that there were 4
more like her to be rescued.

The great dog/animal lover in me did not want to take one.
I did not want to disappoint another family from all the
love the dog could bring them by taking one home.

I did wash my hands after playing with the dog.....
