San Diego II

The back neighbor's trees were loaded with oranges!

Just relaxing.

My dad reading a paper of some sort.

This was a view from the local library parking lot. Beautiful where ever you go.

A cute little lizard. We saw these guys everywhere, so you have to watch where you sit!!

Making tangerine juice. Yummy and messy.

From left to right ( Mama Dorothy, Papa Delbert, my mom, Aaron, and me) I really miss Mama Dorothy and Papa Delbert. They were so generous enough to open their home to us!

The profits from our work. In the left bucket oranges, on the floor grapefruit, in the right bucket tangerines.

A picture with Papa Delbert. He has the funniest sense of humor. He was constantly making me laugh. (By the way...those are lemons in my hands.)

No, that is not a grapefruit! That, my friend, is a California orange!! It was huge to say the least. And of course that is me. :)

A weird looking tropical flower called Bird of Paradise. Kinda pretty.

The ocean shore.

Aaron and I. The day we went it was windy, cool, and rainy. :( But it was still wonderful scenery. It was the kind of day that Lake Michigan seems to have often.

Another view, with my mom's shoulder in the bottom left hand corner. ;)




That's all for now! Back to homework I go.

San Diego

Here are some pictures of out trip from San Diego. We have so many so I am starting with a few at a time. This one is from the driveway of the friends we were visint. What a view!

Another shot from their front yard.

And another...

They have a grapefruit and an orange tree in their front yard. The orange tree was covered with creamy white blossoms. You have never smelled anything so heavenly!

This was my first little palm tree that greeted us at LAX.

This is veiw from the air (obviously) as we were heading for Los Angeles. I believe this is the Rocky Mountains over Utah.

I think this might be Arizona? Not sure about that thought. The desert looked beautiful.

And this is the Grand Canyon. Kinda blurry though. The Captain anounced we were flying over it so I made sure to get a good picture.

This is early on our way to Los Angeles. We had just taken off from Indianpolis. (Sorry the photos are out of order I am still trying to figure out how to post them).

Another beautiful view of the mountains with snow. As I was seeing this scenery before me the hymn 'I Sing the Mighty Power of God' came to mind.

That is all for now! Will post some more soon!

Quiet Evening

It has been awhile since I wrote anything, because I have been quite busy. One highlight is that my family was able to go on a trip to San Diego, California to visit some dear friends of ours. It was very enjoyable and we made some special memories together. We stayed for 5 days. It was kind of cool and there was a downpour of rain one day, but overall it was nice weather. However, it was not warm enough to get a tan, so I am still quite a paleface. :) Hopefully I will get some pictures up. The scenery was so beautiful! It was just as pretty as I imagined it to be. If I had the chance to spend the summer there, I would go lickety-split. (I would just have to find another way to get there other by plane. Flying is NOT my favorite.) And just so everyone knows, for those unbelievers ;), the ocean is truly salty. Honestly, I thought people had been making that up all along! Just kidding.
I had better get going. I have a lot to do before morning comes. *Sigh* Goodnight.
