PAINTED PONIES & SUNSHINE

Hi everyone! Time sure flies when you are having fun....

Becky and I spent some time checking out Farmers Market and the painted horses. Washington Blvd. has alot of statues lining the streets and placed around the amphitheatre. The art work is really beautiful, even KC was impressed. After the 24th parade they had a special showing of "Covered Wagons" at the Egyptian Theatre. This silent movie was shown in 1924 when the theatre first opened. The theatre was recently fully restored to its original beauty, that along with addition of the magnificent Mighty Wurlitzer Organ made this silent movie a delight. I loved the expression on the faces of the actors. The older gentleman playing the organ was amazing, he kept up the pace and feeling of the movie so well that you really did not need words to understand what was taking place. One buriel scene a little girl was shown playing a violin, the organ sounded just like beautiful a violin. Fun experience.....

Vickie is having lots of fun with her new pup. Yesterday we went to the park with Bert and KC and it was such a delight. Bert kept getting KC's leash and leading him along. What a funny rolly polly dog he is. Vickie brought along a bubble machine and they had lots of fun chasing bubbles, KC is much better at it than Bert, but maybe the little ball of fluff will get the hang of it before long.

I trust all of you are enjoying the summer as much as we are, sun and all. We are now looking forward to having fun times with Callie and Scott - oh and of course Elizabeth and maybe a minute or two with Brian if his schedule allows.

Thought for the day: "It is fair to judge people and stained glass windows only in their best light." "Only God is in a position to look down on anyone."
