A Pre-Celebration of the 50th Anniversary

With our 50th anniversary looming, Louise and I decided to make a run for the beach. Here is my photographic journal of a fabulous week, with abundant thanks to our friend and host, Mary Ellen and to our new friend, Cy, for escorting us to new foods and sights. How else would we have known about olallieberry pie? Balboa Island, in Newport Beach, California, is a cornucopia of images. Most striking, maybe, are the flowers. A smattering of my favorites:


And the modern art at the Orange County Museum of Art:


And of course the boats in the Thursday afternoon sail boat race:


My favorite part, however was the people. Our friend, Mary Ellen:


Our new friend, Cy:


And, of course, Louise, who has rocked my boat for more than 50 years:

  2. Sounds like fun! I like the painting of LEGO all over my son's bedroom floor. I love that you and Louise are such great companions to each other.
