Santa Sabrina

We arrived in Los Angeles just in time for Santa Sabrina and presents! Yeah!! Christmas dinner followed with Sabrina and her roommates, Kim and Melanie, and Josh Burns. Fun, as always! We brought in the New Year at the Hogmanay Dance in El Segundo with the LA Branch of the Scottish Country Dancing Society. We had another dance two weeks later in Pasadena. We always enjoy dancing with the folks out here. We took a short trip to Rancho Cucamonga with Sabrina's Bible study friends to take in the Christmas lights there. Quite a lovely display!
Here I posed next to someone wearing Big Red colors; another Husker fan, I presume.

We celebrated Sabrina's 32nd birthday at a lodge at Big Bear Lake. We skied together one day and invited some of her close friends up for the night. A blast!
There's a core group of friends that we share with Sabrina and when we're there we spend lots of time together, at worship, geocaching, sightseeing, playing games and, of course, EATING! Here we are at a sidewalk cafe in Alhambra before going in to watch the new Sherlock Holmes movie. Fun!
Before leaving this time we found a cute little breakfast spot, "The White Hut" on the sidewalk in Pasadena. Good food and nice folks! After a great visit we are headed now for Quartzsite, Arizona and then Texas. Wish you were here!
