She picked me up from the airport and we took the leisurely route down to Newport arriving just as the sun was setting. Next day Jim took us to Temecula for a little wine tasting. Glad he was the driver! The week was full of walks - around Balboa Island, the Venice Beach and Canals (did not know they had any canals) UCLA campus and the quaint little shopping districts and galleries. Also saw Penny's synchro group practice and went to a Mardi Gras celebration. Got there too early for the dancing but Penny did a little anyway. After lunch at Gladstones in Malibu, Penny whisked me back to the airport.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7581676731713544832-284631361583696087?l=joannedemeules.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JoAnnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16594948456153526267noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581676731713544832.post-53942664166669660602008-12-23T10:56:00.000-08:002008-12-23T11:04:35.844-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FPAimoBVezU/SVE11IsbvBI/AAAAAAAAAEU/dQl9N9dNFys/s1600-h/DSCN4976.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

Cari thought it would be fun to post this picture as Azure is a big fan of the penguin. Jann came in to town that evening and we spent a few days shopping and the ALE home tour before she had to wing her way back to Florida. The Jersey Boys play at the 5th Avenue Theatre was next and it was wonderful. Lunch with Judy and Kandace before Kurt and Judy left for Hawaii. Dick and I washed three boats last friday. He quit again. (For those of you that don't know this, Dick keeps helping us when we need an extra hand working on the boats, then he immediately quits again.) Went to Whidbey Island with John and Terri and had a 60th birthday dinner for Steve Sutherland. Between that and the shop sales we keep busy. Wish you all a Happy Holiday.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7581676731713544832-7290860287634423715?l=joannedemeules.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JoAnnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16594948456153526267noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581676731713544832.post-91430154243270258722007-11-28T13:36:00.002-08:002007-11-28T13:43:12.307-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_FPAimoBVezU/R03fuyJsIFI/AAAAAAAAAA0/7FJ1x8Ut4rs/s1600-h/DSCN0018.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 154px;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_FPAimoBVezU/R03fuyJsIFI/AAAAAAAAAA0/7FJ1x8Ut4rs/s200/DSCN0018.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5138008744728993874" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_FPAimoBVezU/R03fiyJsIEI/AAAAAAAAAAs/jHIqBtyjWx4/s1600-h/DSCN0012.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_FPAimoBVezU/R03fiyJsIEI/AAAAAAAAAAs/jHIqBtyjWx4/s200/DSCN0012.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5138008538570563650" border="0" /></a><br />We had a little going away party for Mike and Azure before they left.
