Guess who came to visit me during his Easter break?!?!? It's my long lost semi-adopted son, Bradley!!! Thank you Auntie Grace for sharing your son with me!
Edgar Degas
I had an opportunity to spend a day with my friend, Olivia, and what a fabulous day it was! We started our day off with a big delicious breakfast, we went to church, went to Taylor's school for the Meet the Master's train-the-trainers art lessons, and attended the 5th grade assembly to learn about the French artist Edgar Degas. We had no time for lunch, but I always manage to sneak in a few snacks! We did all this, prior to Olivia being presented with the Outstanding Community Member Award. For the many years of dedication to serve, you really deserve it!!! CONGRATULATIONS OLIVIA!!!!!
It's been said that laughter is can heal many things. I'm not sure if there's any proof to that, but it was fun getting together and testing it out. Ada invited us as her guest at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood on Friday, April 17, 2009. There were three comedians during the hour and a half show. We enjoyed the show, but having our own little group made it more enjoyable. Here's the link: http://www.laughfactory.com/.

Kristen was on her Easter break this week. We were blessed with having her spend a few days with us. Kathy baked us some delicious Amish Friendship Cinnamon Apple Bread, and she gave us a "starter" for us to make more, along with a recipe that takes 10 days to make. Yikes!!! I don't cook or bake, remember?!?!? Thank God Kristen was here to help Sammi mixed up a big batch. They baked a whole loaf plus a few dozen cupcakes. The two girls always manage to have a ton of fun whenever they get together.
We had checked out all of the art and crafts displayed in the 37th Bunka-Sai Japanese Cultural Festival at the Ken Miller Recreation Center in Torrance. We enjoyed walking through their tranquil Japanese garden.
Although Anthony is busy attending UC Irvine, he came back this weekend to participate in the Kendo demonstration. Way to go, Anthony!!!
Here's Norm, Derrick, Eric, and Hank as they were driving off to play poker at Mitchell's house. I sure hope they let my hubby win!!!
Faith UMC had their second Coffee House event this Saturday, April 18, 2009. They showcased many musicians, including the students and bands from their music ministry. They had massage therapists available for free demos, but you can also purchase time slots in half hour increments. Stevie, Ally, and myself really enjoyed the wide variety of desserts and drinks. We really enjoyed the variety of music, but mostly we enjoyed running into many familiar friendly faces.

We're back at TGI Fridays after church. Did you know that on Sundays, they have half-priced specials on their appetizers?
Here is our Women's Bible Study Group... I've enjoyed learning from each of you throughout the years. Thanks for being there for me through my life's highs and lows. Life can be challenging, but it's more bearable when you have a great God-centered support group. I'm so glad we moved our study time for during the day. We've been having so much fun planning our lunches after our studies. It has been so much fun and so yummy!!! I'm looking forward to our next meeting.
