Anthony became a Den Chief for the Cub Scouts, the younger group of boys aspiring to become Boy Scouts. This was an awards night in which he was honored. We are very proud of him!!

Flowers from Hawaii

Two years ago, I bought Hawaiian flower bulbs from the Del Mar Fair. It has taken a lot of work, and they have finally bloomed!! This first one is a Starfire Lily. I now have two plants of these!


This one is a Gloriosa Lily. It is the only lily on a vine. It seems every time I even look at it, the plant would die. I am so happy it survived this year! Now I only wish I had MY camera back from the shop to be able to take good pictures of it...
