Tours...

of the Ronald Reagan Library with the Hike Group last weekend.  We went to see a wonderful Egyptian exhibit there but also got to hop on

 
Reagan's presidential airplane 


and helicopter.
Pretty impressive!

Then to the Santa Monica mountains for dinner at Saddle Peak Lodge where all sorts of animal heads adorn the walls.
(Dan mugging for the shot)

 

This last Wednesday my friend Karen and I toured the Pasadena Playhouse

 

which is in a lovely old Spanish style building.


Ancient lighting board! 
 

Cartons of accessories!



"Noises Off" played here once.

More January Happenings
 
 
Driving home from the quilt show I got behind this parade of  VW's!  So quaint and colorful.  They all pulled into a non-descript parking lot.  Don't know what they were all about but it was delightful.
 
 
 
 
And then this quirky pizza place!
 
 
 
 
Lea has been taking me to her favorite 2nd hand store near her studio--St. Vincent de Paul.
It's packed with interesting used furniture. 
 
 
 
 
We got this chair there, I painted it and found fabric.  
It's being upholstered now.
 
 
 
 
And we went out one evening to participate in the annual Burbank Homeless Count.  Meeting in this room then driving certain streets--not many homeless in Burbank, found only one.

Quilt Show
 
My friend Sally Ferejohn asked me to meet her at the annual quilt show in Ontario, CA.
 
Thought it wouldn't be interesting--old quilts are great, Gee's Bend quilts are great, but everything in between doesn't interest me much. 
 
But I was surprised....
 
by the  color,
 
 
 
the craftsmanship,
 
 
 
the originality,
 
 
and the neat designs!  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Hard to believe they're quilts! 
 
 
Best though was my 3-hour dinner with Sally, catching each other up on our lives.
