Every Christmas morning, Santa Claus comes to every street in La Verne, with the firetrucks. The firemen elves give a bag of sweets to everyone. We have lived here for 23 years and they have never missed a year. We start hearing the sirens really early as they drive through the streets down the hill, then as they get closer and louder, I run out of the house yelling for the neighbors to come outside. Of course they also hear the sirens, so I don't have to yell, but I do anyway. I get way too excited.</div>

<br />Well, those are all the pictures I have for the year. I'm sure we did much more than was in this blog. We are always super busy and doing fun stuff. Next year will be the year of the grandchild, so I will either be too busy to post a blog, or, I may be posting all the time. We'll see.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2013 has been a year of goods and bads. Mostly goods in my opinion. The challenges will always be there. I enjoy the happy times, which usually includes family and friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy New Year!</div>

On Thursday, October 11th, we got the 6 AM wake-up call. Our bags were out by the door at 6:30 and whisked away to the bus. We had breakfast and boarded the bus at 7:30 sharp. We had a long drive ahead of us, I think 2 or 3 hours (hard to remember). We were headed to Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast.<br />

On the way we stopped for lunch at a special place that made fresh Buffalo Mozzarella cheese. We were served different forms and flavors of the cheese, made fresh from real buffalo milk.<br />

The Limoncello store!! I had a brilliant idea to have a Limoncello party on our last night, outside on the veranda after dinner. Well, it poured rain, and by then everyone was beat. Everyone had purchased a special Limoncello glass for that night. We ended up having the Limoncello the very last night of the entire trip. It was worth the wait.<br />

Sunday, October 14th. 7:30 am departure by coach to Florence. I believe it was about a 6 hour drive. We stopped along the way.<br />

Stopped at a Cameo store where they hand carve beautiful cameos and sell coral jewelry. I bought a coral ring.<br />

We stopped at Orvieto. Perched on a plateau of tufa rock, with the outline of its world famous Duomo visible for miles around, the city of Orvieto has adapted to the needs of the modern day tourist by transforming itself into a car-free haven. We took a funicular up to the city.<br />

The heart of Orvieto is the Piazza del Duomo, onto which look the town's most important public buildings and the facade of the Duomo, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture with it polychrome marble inlays and dazzling mosiacs.<br />

I'm going to post my Italian Vacation blog in 4 segments, by the 4 hotel stops we had during the tour. The first is Roma, where we stayed at the Hotel Cicerone for 3 nights. We arrived in Rome around 12:30 in the afternoon on Monday, October 8th, after flying for 12 hours from LAX on Sunday afternoon. Our rooms were ready for check in as soon as we arrived. I met my travel partner at LAX, her name is Kathy, too. After a few days everyone called us Kathy-Kathy. We unpacked, sort of, took a short nap, then got ready for dinner and our first night out in Rome. Here we are in front of the hotel bar. I never did have a drink from the bar, I know, amazing.</div>

We walked down the street, all 38 of us, to a restaurant that was ready to serve us a preplanned meal. That's how is was at all the restaurants we went to as a group. It's the only way to serve so many of us at once. The food was always delicious. These artichokes were so good, I even ate the entire stem. This is Veal with prosciutto. I was the beer drinker of the group, as I don't drink wine. <br />

Here's the restaurant. The neat thing was every night we all changed table partners, so we all got to know each other. Some groups got crazy when they were together, and you know who you are! That's one of them standing there, Judy Kugel. She's a kick!<br />

The front of our hotel in Rome. We walked (ran) across the street to get to our bus. I didn't realized that the traffic went both ways, I thought it was a one-way street, so I only looked to the right. The last day, I saw it was both directions. They are the craziest drivers ever, especially the scooters.<br />

There are so many buildings that look like this, large and amazing and old. I don't remember the names of them all, but I took picture of everything in Italy (2563 total). We were on our way to the Coliseum on Tuesday. This building was built in 1885, the Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, houses the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.<br />

Looking down into the Coliseum. The wooden floor in the back would have covered the area below where they kept the animals and the gladiators/slaves. There was a manual elevator that brought up the animals through a trap door onto the floor to fight to the death. <br />

We went back to the hotel to regroup, then off again on the bus to
Ostia, the ruins of an ancient port, the original port of Rome. This
place was uncovered and is amazingly preserved. All the mosiac tile floors, the walls and statues.<br />

This was a thriving port village where all boats came with imports from other lands, there were warehouses to store the goods, that were then shipped across Italy. A new port was built and this one was abandoned http://www.ostia-antica.org/ this is a link for more information.<br />

We stopped at a Farm that made Buffalo Mozzerella. It actually comes from Wild Buffalo milk. They gave us a sampling of cheeses and bread for our lunch (17 Euro). This place was on a Roman ruins so I walked around and took lots of pictures. Afterwards, we drove to some Greek temples that are still standing.<br />

Tomorrow morning we are driving the Amalfi coast road. Then we're going to the ruins at Pompeii. I saw Mt. Vesuvius today. I thought I brought all 6 pairs of my new travel undies, but I must have lost one, so tonight was emergency laundry duty. Ha Ha!</div>
It's late, I'm going to bed, we have free internet here. So I should be blogging, or at least checking my email. Hope you caught some fish Carl, because we might run out.<br />
Love to all, Kathy<br />

Carl dropped me off at LAX really early because the
President was supposed to arrive at 1:30 and I didn’t want to get stuck in
traffic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I met up with the other 35
people at the airport and we all sat together in the back of the airplane, on
Alitalia. I met my roomy, Kathy, we sat together on the plane and have been
hanging out together. She’s great!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We arrived at Da Vinci Airport on Monday around noon. It was
a tough flight, wasn’t able to sleep at all. Our tour guide was there to meet
us with a large bus, gathered our luggage and took us all to our hotel in Rome.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After settling into our rooms, we all
met in the lobby and walked a few blocks for dinner. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The restaurant was waiting for us with the meal all planned
out. We were served meats, cheeses as appetizers, pasta, veal and artichokes.
It was all delicious. After dinner we all walked back to the hotel and went to
bed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The morning alarm rang at 7:30 am, we got ready, met for
breakfast at the hotel dining room, ate, then boarded the bus at 8:30.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We went to the<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> Coliseum and walked around it and
inside it.</span> We took the bus back to the hotel and had lunch at a little
pizza place across from our hotel. At 2:30 pm we boarded the bus and drove to Ostia,
the original Roman port, an ancient ruin that has been recently excavated.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m still not adjusted to the time change, but not too bad.
Tomorrow we are going to the Vatican and will see the Pope. Then in the
afternoon we’re going on another tour the Trevi Fountain, and the Pantheon. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had my first Gelato in Italy today, it was coffee
flavored, so light and creamy. I ate a whole pizza for lunch. I’ll probably
pass on dinner tonight as we are on our own for dinner.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I pay for the internet for a 24 hour session in the room, so
I may write again tomorrow evening before it expires, if not, then I’ll go
online at our next destination, Sorrento.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am having a great time, have not been approached by any
pickpockets or gypsies. There is so much to see and it’s great having a tour
guide because he explains it all and tells so much history.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today is Tuesday (Rome time) 7:15 P.M.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Funny! we wear name tags, so we can get to know everyone. We also have headsets to hear our tour guide, which really works well, he doesn't have to yell at 35 people. I had a great dinner tonight with Kathy, Duane and Suzanne McKinney and Andy and Sue Brizio. It was great to catch up with those guys.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I'm having lots of fun so far. Carl everyone keeps asking where you are....</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Love Kathy </div>

This abstract is watercolor paint on Yupo paper. Watercolor paper is usually paper and clothlike and very absorbent.Yupo paper is sort of plastic, the paint lays and dries on top of the paper, it's weird. You can mix the colors together in a neat way. I'll play with it when I return.</div>

I'm off for the vacation of a lifetime. I'm going with a blank canvas (my mind), with no expectations, basically because I didn't pay any attention to history, geography, religion, etc. in school. I plan to eat great food, from what I hear from those who have been. All my pants have elastic waists and my blouses are baggy, I'm ready. I plan to post to this blog during my trip, if it works out.<br />
<br />
Arrivederci,<br />

Carl and I took the Metrolink train to Union Station on Saturday morning. We were attending the "Million Dollar Quartet" at the Pantages Hollywood. Boarded the train at 10:30, arrived at the station in time for lunch, which was a Subway sandwich in the depot. Then we caught the Red Line to Hollywood and Vine. We were advised by Ticketmaster to arrive early because of a parade going down Hollywood Boulevard right before our show started. It was a delightful treat to see this parade. Very different, I must say. You'll be able to see the video below.</div>

We had a couple of hours to kill before the train left at 9PM, so we walked to Hollywood and Highland. The boulevard was jam-packed with tourists and locals; attending the many events that weekend. There were the X-Games, a Dodger Game, the Hollywood Carnival Parade and Caribbean Musical Festival, and so much more. When we got back to Union Station, we were smack-dab in the middle of the BET Awards, Pre-Awards Gala. I wasn't allowed in, so I took a picture from the station window. Everyone was all dressed up and partying, waiting to see if they might win an award.</div>

You just never know how a day is going to end. <br />
Enjoy every moment with your family and friends. <br />
Don't take unnecessary risks unless you're ready to deal with the consequences. <br />
Be nice and loving and helpful to others. <br />
Life can take a turn for the worse or the better in one moment.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"> On Saturday, we took a Trolley Tour Bus from Old Town. It's a hop-on hop-off bus, with a trolley coming to each stop on the 1/2 hour. A great way to see any city. We had the best tour guide/driver - Kaye. He was so full of historical information and never missed a beat. Welcomed each person onto the bus and asked where they were from. Mostly tourists... duuuuhhhh! From Switzerland, and all over the USA.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQlB7zUyt3it-Va-OSGZovw99tv3wLC7N5rVQDik4EVAZQ_A4a_buAoL4_RjYhrlNS_yLy0IzZmdV4WyvsJW54cvenOIdGdPEWX4p1QF9WhzQPa9-f_qLUOuCX_71k6ToLW1p2lQSqaMw/s1600/San+Diego+Getaway+009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQlB7zUyt3it-Va-OSGZovw99tv3wLC7N5rVQDik4EVAZQ_A4a_buAoL4_RjYhrlNS_yLy0IzZmdV4WyvsJW54cvenOIdGdPEWX4p1QF9WhzQPa9-f_qLUOuCX_71k6ToLW1p2lQSqaMw/s640/San+Diego+Getaway+009.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">The trolley stopped at the harbor, went by the USS Midway, past Seaport Village, and all the way we learned about how women built all the bomber airplanes in the hangers we drove by, during WWI. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP4a_tMP1xpCRGuBzyK4zIqZe4dKNrO7tc5mkAFK4cQyp74gONkvl_qXA7siqf7G_sO9ys_8Pb3wW8LNtehsHhR1l-48lgl6q3da6QgiThij21_XYjZzaT2dsHKdxzVv1YkNmP-y3f7A4/s1600/San+Diego+Getaway+011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP4a_tMP1xpCRGuBzyK4zIqZe4dKNrO7tc5mkAFK4cQyp74gONkvl_qXA7siqf7G_sO9ys_8Pb3wW8LNtehsHhR1l-48lgl6q3da6QgiThij21_XYjZzaT2dsHKdxzVv1YkNmP-y3f7A4/s400/San+Diego+Getaway+011.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">We got off the trolly at Hotel Del Coronado and ate lunch there. I didn't take any pictures there and that's a big shame.

<div style="text-align: center;">We had big plans to go out to the Gas Lamp District for dinner that night. After the tour, we were exhausted and went to the hotel.

I had been there recently for Shannon's bachelorette party so I knew of a good restaurant right on the beach. After that we walked around Belmont Park, home of the old wooded rollercoaster.

Our bartender, Andrelyn, signed Carl and I up for a bartender team contest. It was ladies against the men. We would watch as the bartender showed us how to make a certain drink, which contained at least 3 alcohols and multiple fruit juices, topped with champagne or coke, then fruit pieces. Then it was up to us to make the same drink. Whoever completed making the drink first won. Then they were sample tasted by a different bartender who decided on the final winner. There were 5 on each team, so we each got a chance to make a drink. I poured half of my drink all over the table, because I put in way too much of everything. Oh ya, at the same time, as we were mixing our drinks, we were getting shot by a high powered water gun.</div>

Meet "The Girls". Sandy (left) and Joyce. My good buddies and dancing partners. They are the "church ladies" from Orlando, Florida. They win for "best bling" on the cruise. They also win for the biggest partiers on the cruise. Always have huge smiles on their faces, and dressed to the nines. Love them.</div>

Today we are on a bus tour to the Polynesian Cultural Center on the North side of the Island of Oahu. We stopped at Pali lookout, looking down at Honolulu. There are some fierce winds that blow directly up this cliff, strong enough to blow you over.</div>

The Nuuanu Pali Lookout ("Cool Height Cliff")overlooking the 985 foot cliffs of the Koolau Mountain Range, is one of the best views on O'ahu. It was here in 1795 that King Kamehameha and his warriors defeated the O'ahu armies by sending them over these steep, forested cliffs and claiming his victory and uniting the Hawaiian Islands. The breathtaking sight and the gruesome history of the battle fought here is enough to cause a chill to run up your spine. Add to that the incredible winds that often pass through the Pali and you may be swept off your feet! (taken from a website)</div>

We were docked in Waikiki until 11 PM, so after our bus tour, we got dressed and took a cab to Waikiki Beach and had dinner at Benihana Japanese Restaurant. After dinner, I forced Carl to walk, in the rain to the beach so that I could step foot on Waikiki Beach sand. The town was buzzing with people out for the Friday evening.</div>

Shannon and Grant came and she insisted that we have all the decorations and even have an Easter Egg Hunt, like we used to. I've gotten rid of most of the decorations, but found all the greeting cards that were given to her from Grandma's and Grandpa's and relatives over her life. I put them all up on display and in a basket. When she saw them she said, hey you guys got lots of Easter cards and we didn't get any. Then she started reading them. There are special sentiments written from Grandma and Grandpa Olson and from Nana and Papa from Seattle, all who have since passed. She loved seeing them.<br />

We were told that there are live gators at Silver Springs. It's sort of a nature park, natural habitat swamp place. But it costs $31 to get in, and we were on a pass to get back and get ready for that night's big banquet. The girl at the gate told us that we may see a gator under the bridge we walked over to get to the ticket stalls. So we checked out the swamp under the bridge.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1dzwwy0BsxOiXh23o-iF8hQR4dAP4R21DLmr2kHjbNItg4LGyuJs1BWvH2zPm31Jiodw9VaJDjvE-XdqVQxmLcxnyZt8mWx0PwKmTWdhjV6JEG35GHQGFefP4ADzdv9DKPkL9UrKsLw0/s1600/Gainesville+093.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1dzwwy0BsxOiXh23o-iF8hQR4dAP4R21DLmr2kHjbNItg4LGyuJs1BWvH2zPm31Jiodw9VaJDjvE-XdqVQxmLcxnyZt8mWx0PwKmTWdhjV6JEG35GHQGFefP4ADzdv9DKPkL9UrKsLw0/s400/Gainesville+093.jpg" width="400" yda="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

He was being honored by the British Drag Racing group as one of their Hall of Fame Honorees. So he flew on Friday afternoon, landed in London on Saturday, drove 2 hours North in the snow (on the wrong side of the road). He got to his hotel in time to get ready for the evenings big gala being held at the hotel where he was staying, luckily. He gave a little "thank you" speech and received a standing ovation. He went up to his room just after midnight. The next morning, he got back in his rental car and drove back to London, got on an airplane, and was back in Los Angeles by 6:30 PM Sunday evening. I do not know how he does that.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyFjz0FquYKJfRNjcrJbKL8J4dd_zsMYyWUqNPrNt7s6S7LU5LC1kMIGkXtoMjMGuALi7uY6Q_1ZM-4NOWD5Im5tBXD3j4hmrEhFexMSoH1XwFRe3bAd8NTUf8YMPTaA9wnHifQqjCCAU/s1600/Group+large+Bev+8+x+10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="257" lda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyFjz0FquYKJfRNjcrJbKL8J4dd_zsMYyWUqNPrNt7s6S7LU5LC1kMIGkXtoMjMGuALi7uY6Q_1ZM-4NOWD5Im5tBXD3j4hmrEhFexMSoH1XwFRe3bAd8NTUf8YMPTaA9wnHifQqjCCAU/s320/Group+large+Bev+8+x+10.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is my newest addition to the home, a new gas range. The old one (21 yrs) still worked so we gave it to Shannon and Grant, as the one in their home was ancient, with a pilot light and leaking gas. It was delivered on Friday, but only started working on Monday... needed a different valve on the wall.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The reason I took a picture of the stairs is that we finally had the carpets cleaned after years of not cleaning, due to old dog. Well, Lili is no longer with us. She was almost 16, we loved her and enjoyed her time with us. So, after the messes were done, carpets got cleaned. The kids (Shannon and Grant) stayed with us for 6 months as they got settled into their new California lives. They moved out on Feb 1st, and are doing great. Both are working and they have a wonderful duplex rental in Orange. Shannon has been decorating and making a comfortable home for them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpgVPLxVzk_Z5XMv9AFh5LdJ1xRA_i56C9zkxl1w1rd09ebe0L2xXwEt6DmbpAwPH7tYqIF7_zyNiK_P83kfWi1VNYJr1C8W7fQ85V2m5WtmJVJDI06GhrlGHc6TJ3p6PHJ6W255yT06U/s1600/2-14-12+023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpgVPLxVzk_Z5XMv9AFh5LdJ1xRA_i56C9zkxl1w1rd09ebe0L2xXwEt6DmbpAwPH7tYqIF7_zyNiK_P83kfWi1VNYJr1C8W7fQ85V2m5WtmJVJDI06GhrlGHc6TJ3p6PHJ6W255yT06U/s640/2-14-12+023.jpg" width="480" yda="true" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">Tomorrow is tax-man day, and I'm ready for him.

I had planned to have all the meal timed to eat at 4 pm. Everything was on schedule. After cooking for 4 hours, I took out the turkey and let it sit on a tray while I started the gravy. Then, I noticed the pink juices gathering around the turkey on the white tray. The flippin' turkey wasn't done. Damn! I put it back in the oven. With the stuffing already cooking in a dish and the yams cooking. I waited 1/2 hour and checked it. Still not done, but now the stuffing is burned on the bottom and the yams are self-mashed by being overcooked. We ended up eating around 5:30, burned stuffing, I forgot to make the asparagus.</div>

Brown on Brown, and they don't even match. The pants are stretch comfy with a wide elastic stretch waist from LL Bean.
