A VERY BUSY WEEK

Last week was a busy one. Just as they began work on Dad's patio (see photo) I left for L.A. to visit Mother and the family there. We had a very nice visit. On Tuesday Aunt Anna and Aunt Cosie and Uncle Bob treated us to lunch at the China Inn. (See photo). We even ran into their friends, Mimi and Nadine. They both shared their drinks with Aunt Cosie. (Another photo). A wonderful time was had by all. I spent three days mostly catching up on everything with Mother.

While there I attended Mother of Good Counsel Church for morning Mass. They have just recently acquired my favorite painting of Our Lady of Guadelupe. Pope John Paul II is kissing her hand and she is comforting him. I really like it. It was painted by an unknown artist in Mexico. I am so sorry not to have his or her name. But I wanted to share it anyway.

I will soon take pictures of Dad's completed patio and get them on the blog. In the meantime, my love to all interested persons.
