Here's Johnnie!

Johnnie and crew are coming this afternoon to take out our old floors and replace them with beautiful Brazilian Cherry. We are very excited and blessed. Thank you AAA and Johnnie. The floors should be finished tomorrow...hopefully before the UCLA-USC game. Mimi and the girls are staying at Grammie & Papas tonight to avoid the cavern that will be our downstairs tonight.

Santa @ Starbucks

Last night I had the privilege of handing out candy canes and asking kids what they hoped I (St. Nick) would bring them for Christmas. In case your wondering why? Well, Starbucks holds a holiday party every year about this time and hands out free tall holiday drinks. We encourage our customers to come in and donate a toy for the Starlight Foundation....and gratefully many did. Sorry to all of you who missed the free drinks. Well as part of the party...I sat in a chair dressed as Santa and sweat and talked to kids for two hours. We gave each family a free photo of the occasion in a chrismas card. It was fun, but I was glad to get out of the suit and drink a couple of venti iced chais to cool me down.
