Lunch with Doreen

Curtis & I went to visit Doreen today. We met Francine there. Janeth made pinakbet and shoyu chicken for lunch for everyone. She served Ted's pumpkin haupia pie for dessert.

L to R: pinakbet, rice, & shoyu chicken.

While we were visiting Doreen a healthy edible arrangement arrived for Curtis' birthday. It's from one of his work buddies.

They have scrapped off the topsoil and excavated for the incoming & outgoing pipes for Curtis & Lori's extension. They also built an enclosure for Salty so he could safely be out in the backyard while they are working on the extension.

Here are photos from the inside. They are adding 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom. They are changing the greenhouse window over the kitchen sink into a pass-through window to the patio. They're also changing the stove.

The family room will be extended,

Salty was sacked out after a hard day of hanging out in his backyard pen.


It took me about 1&1/2 hours to get home from Curtis' house today, usually it takes about 30 minutes. There was a major traffic jam; it basically started as soon as I got on to the freeway. And it stretched to the junction that I needed to take; about 5 miles. Apparently a motorcyclist lost control of his bike and crashed.

Happy Birthday to Teena & Kyle! Happy 27th Anniversary to Lorna & Darrell!
