My recent trip to CA

Thought I would share some pictures from my recent trip to CA. It was hot but fun. Matt, Andreia, and I even got a chance to go to Vegas. Sadly, we all returned a little poorer. Bottom photo shows Tom (in glasses), Ray Romano, and the short one....me.

Well The news of the day - Lauren is Moving

Hi My Family, As sad as it is to say that I am leaving the beach .... I am leaving the beach. Marty, Harley, Davidson and I are moving from Long Beach to Corona in 3 weeks. We sold a house (in a bad market) and we bought a new construction (in a really bad market). The house has a beautiful view and is only 10 minutes from Matthew.

Our new address will be 2805 Wycliffe St

Corona, CA 92879

Move out date is Sept. 12 and the new house move in date is Sept. 21. For the 12 days I have no home - we will be living with Matt and all things will be in storage. Here is a picture of the new house and a picture of the view. I will send new phone number when I get one. Till then the cell works - 562 713 3842. Love to all of you and I'll keep you posted on the moving progress.

Vacation to silverwood

Last week we went to idaho and hung out at silverwood ....it's a 6 flags type of amusement park that also has a huge water park attached to it. it is located about 40 miles from spokane ( where we stayed). missy and ethan, joey and deb and i all enjoyed the fun in the sun! we also diddled around spokane for the last day as we stayed at the red lion right at riverfront park. ethan was in hog heaven the entire time. that kid is not afraid of rides or water at all.

My electrical prowess

OK...I know everyone is dying to see the pictures of the ceiling fan I wired, so here they are. Lauren is soooooo impressed with my skills that she is recruiting me to help her with wiring a fan for Mom (this is a first.... me helping Lauren with something construction related!)

It doesn't just look good.....it really works!!!!!
