April Fool’s Day
It is spring break in other parts of the country. Â It is interesting because it was never a big deal when I was growing up in southern California. Â But when I moved away I began to understand why! Â In a Word – WINTER! Â And that is not a season that is part of California! Â We have flood, fire, smog and earthquake!
So, anyway, we have visitors! Â I love that people I love want to see me and the kids (OK – well they really want to see the sun and the beach and Disneyland, but I do provide free lodging!)
Wil, Lorraine and Pip are here, who are really family to us, and we decided to go to Farrell’s, which is making a comeback in Southern California. Â So, and this is not a joke, we went to the website to show the kids the menu (the Zoo, the pig trough, etc) and there were vintage photos on the website. Â The first one posted is a picture of my neighborhood and me in approx. 1972. Â Freaked me out! Â The picture I posted here is my dessert! Â It is chicken (like chic-o-sticks), mashed potatoes (ice cream and caramel sauce), and candy peas and carrots! Â Too fun and the perfect thing for the holiday!
Julie and Brian came too and Catie came for her spring break (Chinese New Year). Â Marianne didn’t need a spring break, but she came in January just because!
Hooray for friends! What ever would we do without them…
