The Speedzone




Love that Speedzone in La Puente. Dragged the entire crew for a couple of hours of racing and putt-putt golf. Here's Heather and Erika readying to pass me, once again. I can't tell whether their smiles are from the speed or the gas fumes.

Court of Honor



The family held a Court of Honor in grandma and grandpa's backyard for scouting's newest Eagles - Andrew, Jack, and David. It was the best Court of Honor I've ever attended. All the scouts wore their uniforms including our little Cub Christian. Each of the boys explained their Eagle project. Their parents beamed as they described the importance of scouting in their lives. And then the boys gave a pin to their hero grandpa.

The Tops

Turned some tops on my lathe for the kids. Herman Miller fans will recognize the shapes of these tops. The designs are by KleinReid and were inspired by Charles Eames. Not an easy task for a novice turner like me.

Day 7, Disney World

How many times were our flights canceled/changed/delayed/modified/rearranged? Too many times to count. But hey, they gave us two free hotel rooms and five meal vouchers.

Erika's 6th Birthday





Erika celebrated her 6th birthday at Mimi and Popi's in Mt. Shasta. She says the highlights included the chocolate cake and her new stuffed Chihuahua which she named "Hinca" because "It sounds Spanish."
