  • Lee Arrives for 8 Days in the "WINTER"

    13. februar, Forenede Stater ⋅ 🌧 57 °F

    Day 1-3: Lee arrived today in time to do some shopping for clothes, doctors appointment, and Chinese for dinner. He came bearing gifts of books for us (very cool). We got up early the next day, walked the new pond, caught up on many topics, watched a zoom on Israel ceasefire, began preparations with Lee for his Israel trip and celebrated Shabbat with Central Synagogue and enjoyed a “romantic” Valentines dinner at home. Next day we got up early (6am) for Special Mishkan Services for Disability Month at Central Synagogue and became much more educated on what being disabled means in this Country. Went out to pick lemons from our lemon tree in the backyard and made lemon juice and sause to be used in dinner and lemonade! We spent the evening at our favorite theater, The GEM (truly a gem), where we saw a fabulous production of a sad show, End of the Rainbow, about the last years of the Judy Garland's life.Læs mere

  • A DAY with Friends in Fullerton

    16. februar, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F

    After an early morning Bootcamp Class, we headed off to Fullerton "with the bikers" into the snow-capped mountains (which are only an hour or so from us) for lunch with our “daughter” Addison (actually, daughter of our Phoenix friends Michelle and Chris but we get to play California parents since she goes to college here) in Fullerton. She goes to CalState Fullerton. Great Greek lunch here and lots of catching up with Addison and learning about spring break trip. This was followed by a tour of the campus which was very quiet due to President’s weekend. Next stop was Matt & Laura’s home to visit with them and heard about their most recent trip to Mexico and for Lee to spend some time with them for a nice relaxing evening catching up in Yorba Linda.Læs mere

  • Special Visitors Today

    17. februar, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 52 °F

    Ed & Lilia Solorzano came to visit. This was very special for many reasons. They have been dear, old (meaning for many years) friends from California and two of the warmest, sincere, interesting and loving people we know. I met Ed on my first trip outside the U.S. in 1985 and we have not let physical distance stop us from allowing our families to remain close friends for 40 years. Karen made a delicious lunch with 3 salads, and we talked nonstop all day. Early evening was spent on plans with Lee for travel together and Central Synagogue programming. We then went to Frisby’s, our favorite watering hole where we all enjoy tastings of their wines and of course bring some home (Frisby is the closest commercial business to our home … we may run out of eggs and gas but never wine). The evening was highlighted by Lee cooking dinner. He made some of his specialties: Grilled Chicken & Lemon Orzo Salad and Thai Chicken Coconut Soup.. YUMMY!Læs mere

  • Bike, Magic and White Rabbit Red Rabbit

    19. februar, Forenede Stater ⋅ 🌙 57 °F

    Today we biked on our new electric bikes, Bruce learned a new magic trick that was incredibly interesting (because of the math it required) and was mind blowing for the audience (Karen). Yes, that took a long time to learn. We then went on the first ever “amenities tour” of RMV to explore with the Ranch Life Management many of the amenities that RMV offers. There are so many that I won’t list them but one particularly interesting one was the CampOut where you rent a rent and spend the night (see photos). The Ranch is quite a place if you take advantage of all it has to offer.

    This evening, we went to see a production of White Rabbit Red Rabbit, a unique show that had been on Broadway for a long time. Here’s the description: See what happens with no rehearsal, no director, a different actor each night and a script waiting in a sealed envelope on the stage. Each night a completely new adventure awaits - depending on how the author's words compel each actor to perform. Internationally acclaimed White Rabbit Red Rabbit, by Nassim Soleimanpour, is a theatrical adventure embracing comedy and tragedy. An edge of your seat experience. Forbidden to leave his country, Iranian playwright Nassim Solelmaneer distilled the experience of an entire generation in a wild, utterly original play. Since its joint premiere in 2011 in Edinburgh and SummerWorks festival, White Rabbit Red Rabbit has been translated into more than 30 different languages and been performed over 3,000 times by some of the biggest names in theatre and film.

  • Chillaxing (as Lee would say)

    20. februar, Forenede Stater ⋅ 🌙 54 °F

    Our last full day together was a catchup day where Lee finished some writing that hwe was doing throughout the week, and we helped Lee prepare for his next adventures in work and travel. Not to mention Lee helped me with a slide show of the pond and we practiced my new magic tricks. [Note: Bruce went to two more exercise classes.]Læs mere
