Beautiful Flowers

Flowers from Matt and Hedie's yard. Can't believe Heidi just cut them and gave them to me.
They stayed nice and fresh all week. Thanks Heidi :-)

At La Jolla with Matt and Heidi

Went to La Jolla with Matt and Hedie. Ended up at a beautiful spot. Decided to hike down the cliff to the beach.

After going down this cliff was the beach

walking the beach a little

Going back up the cliff was a workout. Here is Heidi resting a little half way up.

There were lots of seals

At Mount San Jacinto with the Lamoreauxs

Nancy, David, Gordon and I visited Mount San Jacinto State Park. Mount San Jacinto is the second highest mountain range in southern California. It stands 10,834 above sea level. It is a good place to come for a picnic, hike and backpack. There are also two camp grounds up there.

We took the Palm Springs Areak Tramway up the mountain. The weather changes drastically. It was a very hot 113F at the bottom and at the top it was a cool 76F. It was so good to be up there away from the heat:-)

Here we are at the Mount San Jacinto sign. We were at this exact sign back in February when during a snow storm and we were freezing. We learned that we like to come here in the summer time better.

Love the trails amoung rocks and forest pine trees .

We did not do the long hiking trails because we came to a sign that made it clear that we needed a permit to continue.

Sweet Visit with College Friends

Last Tuesday old friends from Andrews University got together in Loma Linda.
Dinah and her family was visiting from Michigan where she lives. She called and organized this gathering. There were nine of us plus their immediate families.

Following are pictures of just the women taken at the beginning while the food was being prepared. Sorry, no pictures of the rest of the people since we got too busy visiting to take any more pictures.

Dinah and Patricia prepared the food. Thanks girls!

Thank you Dinah for making this reunion happened.
Thank you Humberto and Patricia for opening your house.
