THE BEST PIZZA ON EARTH!

I thought Galucci's Pizza in Lincoln City, Oregon was best UNTIL I tasted my Grandson-In-Law, Steve Young's pizza! We had the joy of visiting their place in Redondo Beach, California. He is Italian and boy oh boy does he know how to make pizza from scratch! He made about 4 kinds, but we liked his tomato mushroom with jalepenos and crushed red peppers the best...WOW!! Plus we had so much fun because our grandkids, Christopher and Andrea, drove all the way from Fullerton for the party too!

SHAWN'S PARTY

We had parties with Shawn for his birthday and a farewell party with Connie.

11 CARD STRAIGHT

We met up with our grandchildren, Christopher and Andrea DeCaro, in Buena Park, California. We played Canasta in our hotel room and I was delt an 11 card straight! The odds on that must be a million to one! However, since this was Canasta and not Poker it turned out to be one of the worst hands I could have gotten. They wouldn't change the game to Poker so I could win.

FAREWELL PARTY FOR JOHN & ANITA

Anita and I took Debi, Curtis, Christian, Steve, Kristina, and their girls to Abuelos for our last weekend in Phoenix before heading up to Oregon. The Mexican food was terrrific. Afterwards we took everybody to our house and ate icecream and cookies...the girls visited and the boys shot pool. It made me sad to think of our fun times coming to a close with the Phoenix family. The old grandpa (Abuelo) at Abuelos tried to comfort me. I feel better now.
