Visit to Dustins, Gina, and Bryce in LA
Paul and I took a short trip to Los Angeles to visit our 10th grandchild, Bryce Camden.
Dustin and Gina welcomed us to their home. We enjoyed dinner in their back yard.
Paul and I took a walk around the block and enjoyed the sights, flowers, ...
...and palm trees of Tujunga.
Dustins live in what they call a "back house." It's cute and comfortable, just perfect for their needs.
Saturday they took us to Montrose for ...
... a treat of homemade ice cream at Paradis.
On Sunday we drove up to Lubec for church and lunch. Then we drove just a little further north on Interstate 5 through "the Grapevine" to where the mountains abruptly stop and the San Joaquin Valley begins.
We pulled off at Pyramid Lake ...
...and learned more about the water resources of California.
This little munchkins was sleeping soundly when we got back.

Life, Wedding, Rena and Lily Quilt
Recently Rena joined our Possum Town Quilters for a visit. I was so pleased to see her finished “Lily” quilt. She came to our house for a class last winter (here) to learn the technique. I like the way she changed it from a lily to tulips to make it personal and unique.
We were invited out to Levis along with our neighbors, Nathan & Amanda for a fish fry. Amanda wanted to learn how to fry those good catfish.
Levi times the frying time to 5 or 6 minutes depending on the size of the fillet.
We attended the wedding of Josh and Dasie.
Josh’s folks, Walter and Myra
Josh’s cousins from PA.
We don’t often see ice in Mississippi.
And then it warmed up and Paul and I went for a walk.

Ralph / Vera Heatwole Reunion and Mother’s Oil Painting Exhibit
My brother, Oren Jr. and Paul help hang the oil paintings.
David and Rachel brought their painting to share in the exhibit. Rachel said they took their painting along with them to Pureto Rico when they lived down there.
Paul and I stayed with my brother Oren Jr. Cheryl made this beautiful quilt for the guest bed.
This painting was gifted back to our family from Linda H. What a treasure!
This is one of Mother’s earlier paintings.
Aunt Vera Rose and Bonnie
This is only a small part of all the china Mother has painted.
Katina, Coleen, and Michael examine broken bits and pieces of Potter John Heatwole pottery.

As we boarded the bus for our “Vera’s Journey” tour, I snapped a few photos of my cousins and families.
