Odds & Ends Jan - Mar 2008

When the girls' school had an 80's dress-up day, SBK and CCK relied on Lesli (aka: The Eighties Lady) to help them out...
CCK with her friend Maggie...

I think Charlotte took this - I like it!
Charlotte joined softball this year. Here team's color is pink, so the girls chose the name "The Pink Panthers. Here she is with her cap...

We got together with longtime friends the Lyons and the Tabachs for a great evening out. From L-R: Dan, Rich, John, Mindy, Lesli and Dominique
Super Bowl Sunday we got up early and drove to a local ski mountain (Snow Summit) for the day. Here are the girls during the ride up...
...and on the mountain. It was a raw day with a mix of wet snow and rain driven by a harsh wind. We were happy to retreat back home at the end of the day...
Clowning around with dessert are CCK, Daniella Cooper and SBK...

Dan went to Atlanta on business, but saw his family, and got this rare photo of the 4 siblings. From L-R Dan, Linda Harris, Julie Nozaki and Scott Kendall...

On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day we toured the Regan Library. Here is a replica of the Oval Office during Ronnie's tenure
A retired Boeing 707 that served as Air Force One from Kennedy to Clinton is at the library. It is very cool, and the interior is the best, though you can only take pictures of the exterior...
Perhaps President Reagan's biggest moment came when he demanded the Berlin wall be removed by the Soviets. A chunk of the wall is now at the library. I found it ironic that there is a barrier around it.

The library sits high above the Simi Valley with views all the way to the Pacific. Unsettled weather created rainbows. Here are the girls on the back lawn...

One January weekend the tides were just right to visit tidepools. This time we went to Palos Verdes...one of the bigger starfish we saw...

Lesli caught this great photo of the lunar eclipse. As with all these pictures, click on the pic to get a bigger view...
