IT'S ALL FUN AND GAMES

Out for a fun evening.

Looks like yummy stuff.

ANOTHER BLAST FROM THE PAST

The Chai families gathered up a lot of their old slides and Ryan Chai spent quite a bit of time fixing a lot of them and then assembling them. Beki sent me a thumb drive with over a 1300 pictures and some of them had the Agles in then, so I'm posting a few.

 After we had been in Hawaii for a year (Chai's 3 years) we sent for our folks to come for a visit. Here we are picking them up at the airport. Carol loved her purses, and I think she is also holding Grandma's. That's Auntie Ann with her hand on Von's shoulder. Beki is holding the stroller and Liz is the baby. Nalani is by her side. Next to Dennis & Ken, Maui is looking back at Grandma. I think you can figure out the rest of the group.

 This was a day we spent down at Clissold's beach.

 

 Grandpa loved getting in that warm sea water with Kim and Keo.

 

 This was the hike to Sacred Falls.

Looks like were taking a break.

 

One of the falls on the way.

 

 I love this picture.

 

A few years later. In front of the Chai's home. Carol and Quinton were wed by then. January painted that picture that I'm holding. Check out Ruth's cool outfit, not to be outdone by Erik's little suit.

This was their house in the summer. Gorgeous!

THE LANCASTERS GUEST ROOM

Rolfe, Iowa  will be celebrating its sesquicentennial this year. Among the many things happening will be a Parade of Homes and they have asked the Lancasters if their home would be in it. They agreed but now they are working hard to finish up a few projects. They have put the finishing touches on the guest room. Over the last few years they have done a lot to it and it shows.

The iron bed is an antique as is the table. 

 The amoire and chest of drawers are also antiques.

 There are two entrances to the bedroom.

That glass door goes into their living room.

 

This is the hallway that leads to the bedroom. Julie said it was a challenge, wall-papering this area. Suzanne also knows the challenges of wallpapering. What a beautiful pattern.Note the lovely finish on the floor.

JANUARY'S ANNUAL VISIT

January spent a week with us and we had a wonderful time. We mostly just enjoyed each other's company, ate well,watched some movies, and played cards. What's not to enjoy?

We hit the trail to Murrieta and met Dexter. What a cute little puppy! 

 He has a very good trainer.

 At 8 weeks he already knows the command to SIT.

He even did it for me. Such a smart dog.

 January offered to help prepare the deviled eggs.

Erik is pointing at her expertise.

 

 Yep folks! She did get a little on her hands.

 

 Then it was time to enjoy the Super Bowl. One half of the group was for the Falcons, and the other was for the 'Niners.

 

 

On Monday Shawn Price, my brother's youngest son came over for a visit. He is an avid genealogist and hopes one of the younger generation will carry it on when he 'retires'.

Any offers?

SOPHIE'S FIRST SEWING LESSON

After Sophie made two sewing projects without using the sewing machine she was ready to tackle the "MACHINE".

 Here she is at her first lesson.

Off to class.

54 years ago we were so happy to welcome our first son. We're still happy about it! Happy Birthday Dennis.
