Then it was Friday in La Habra and Jane and Ben were reading in their beds
as Jane read on
while the cookies
drew Suzanne's attention
as Paige went online to buy a backpack
as Christiano watched.
Suzanne was watching
Gerald Ford's body being prepared for its journey
as Christiano was watching Paige conclude her purchase
and I was admiring the art work
as Ben and Suzanne did the hopping thing on the living room floor
and while I decided it would be good to be a loser
Janet and Suzanne assembled the troups
for our walk past the playground where Ben used the slide etc.
and then reassembled
so that Ben could use another slide
as Jane
stood before the background of downtown LA
as we marched on
and then caught Mt. Baldy in the direction
and on we walked
|
admiring views
|
until we came to the guinea pigs where we took a few pictures too many, perhaps.
|
before the lady who feeds them showed up to do her thing
|
and we wandered off past the poinsettia tree
to record this wonderful sign
that isn't as this seems
and then saw the car with its occupants
as Janet showed her plantings
and her most massive bed
before I recorded my feet
and then Mikey doing his ad for tequilla
before we began our journey south bound parking here
and going in to the In-N-Out burger
but not for a job interview
rather for the menu
and the artwork
though we needed to study the menu
and ignore the souvenirs
as our order was taken
our bumper stickers were received
and Christiano and Paige posed
as we looked at our order
which looked better in the box than on the paper
complete with transfats
and shakes
and wrapped int he best of papers.
with ketchup
that just wanted to be put on to those fries
as Janet
Jane and Suzanne
Ben and I
Christiano and Paige ate away
and we captured this collection sign
before gathering in the cars for the rider across the county line.
Once we arrived in La Jolla, we gathered possessions
and took group pictures
before heading to their room where Jane and Ben amused themselves
as the women prepared
and posed for these mirror photos
|
while Larry and I did the Smith Brothers thing
and all the men did a group pose
as Ben posed for some mirror pictures
as did I
and after observing the paintings
we left the TV remote
to go past the wallpaper
and head to the Hyatt where time was counting down
as we spied the birthday boy
and marched in
to see Arianna and Ben
and Jane and the other Ben
with Ada taking this photo
and then we met the Pinkels, starting with Michael
who was joined by Dan
and then we had Rob, Linda, Michael and Dan as a group
and then Syl with Bernie and Grace Brenner
Larry with Aurora and Bob King
and Bert Mogin and Charlotte Rubenstein
as we were called to our table
with Suzanne and Gary
Linda
with Michael
Janet
Michael, Jeff and Linda
as the soup
and salad were served
as we admired the flowers
and then the main courses came
even as little(r) Ben took pictures with Larry and Janet
and I captured Ada
as the birthday cakes were lit
and then prepared for cutting
as our hosts, Gary and Linda posed
as Michael and Larry waited
for Gary, Dansyl and Linda to pose
which led to many picture takers
and after capturing Isaac and Syl
we recorded the time and headed off tot he airport for our flight that ended an excellent trip.
