Patricia and Victoria visit.

October 21, 2008

Patricia, Michael, and Victoria are visiting next week. I am looking forward to seeing them all.

On Tuesday, October 30, Susan and I will pick up a rental mini-van and drive to Big Bear. We will take the cat up there and spend the day. We will leave some stuff there, including the cat. Wednesday morning we will drive to Long Beach and pick up Patricia and Victoria from the airport. The 4 of us will drive to Disneyland where we will spend two days seeing what we can of the two parks. On Saturday morning we will pick up Michael at the Ontario airport and go back to Big Bear. This will make the cat real happy :> On Monday, after a couple of days in the mountains, we will drive to San Diego. Tuesday is Sea World and a family dinner. Wednesday we take Patricia and Victoria up to Long Beach and a flight home. Long Beach is much cheaper to fly from/to because Jet Blue makes it so. Michael will be spending the days with his parents and fly out Saturday from San Diego.

A year ago, while entertaining visitors, we purchased Disneyland and Sea World passes. Both sets of passes expire a few days after we use for this trip. What timing.

The Kite Runner

I am in the middle of the book “The Kite Runner”, what a great book. I plan on watching the movie after I finish. My sister, Linda, said I should read it and she was sure right.

Dune

October 21, 2008

I just finished the last of the 3 Dune books – Children of Dune. They are an incredible set of books. I highly recommend the series to anyone who likes to read, even if they don’t like Science Fiction. The books stand on their own as engaging fiction, without the fact that they are set in the interesting far future of Earthlings after Earth is but a memory.
