Earthquake

Today, we experienced our first earthquake as residents of Southern California. It happened around 11:45 this morning while we were both at work. Actually, it all happened very quickly and was done before I even knew what had occurred.

Rest assured that Frank and I are just fine, though. Oddly, there's not much to say about it. After it happened, we went on with our days as usual. It was a bit anticlimactic, really...but when referring to earthquakes, anticlimactic is definitely a good thing!

A Visit with the Basses

A while back, we were able to visit with some family from the Bass side...Bryan, Kathy, and Estelle. It had been so long since we saw them and it was really great to catch up over the weekend. It's always great seeing Bryan and Kathy, and Estelle just gets bigger and funnier every time we see her.

Since it was so long ago, it seems a little odd to be blogging about it now. (What can I say? I have not been as diligent as I'd like to be in updating this blog.) Anyhow, we had a wonderful time catching up. Some highlights of our trip include....

Playing Taboo with Bryan and Kathy (remember torpedo? and glasnost?)
Playing Gin Rummy
Estelle saying, "Too bad, so sad"
Going to the lake/pool

Here are a few pictures from our great time...
