Yen Family Site

I had a very nice time in Danville last weekend visiting everyone at the Yen house!  I started out with a tour of the house, and was impressed with Jessica's and Rebecca's super neat rooms!  Then a tour of the yard and rabbit-ville, and a few rounds of penguin town games.

On Saturday, we went out for a great Chinese lunch and I was told the legend of the fountain outside the restaurant.  Just ask Rebecca  and Jessica about the legend next time you are there for lunch. 

Just got back from Hawaii.  I flew over to celebrate GB's 85th birthday.  After arriving on Oahu, I stayed one night at the Will's house at Hoku, then flew over to Maui with GB the next day.  The 30 minute plane ride is really fun because you can see other Hawaiian islands as you fly over.  GB and I stayed in a first floor condo right on the ocean in Maui for 5 days. 

Wine House, here in LA, sent me a newsletter recently with with a tour of  Italy for a little more than wine tasting.  Check it out.  www.passionatepalatetours.com

Guess what... I'm going to spend Mother's Day with GB this year.  I had promised her I'd zip over after my project was finished, so I thought Mother's Day would really be nice.  I'm looking forward to taking her and Ann and Jim out for a special Mother's Day Brunch at one of the nice hotels.   Well, you guys heading over in June, don't worry, I'll save you plenty of shave ice!  (I'll be there May 12-17th.)

Well, Mr Johnson (J.J.) out-did himself this year. He remembered me and remembered that I had "several" boys that came to his office and who liked music.  Then he asked why he hadn't met my daughter.  What a memory.   My appointment took only 5 hours, his charge was slightly less than last year, and the tax return was slighter better this year.  Hurray!!  But  there was NOTHING to eat.  I should have packed a snack.
