The Acoustic Friends Showcase

Last Saturday night, Joy and I went on a date to listen to some classical tunes at the Rebecca's Coffee Shop east of the San Diego Balboa Park. Hosted by Jim Earp a extraordinaire finger-style guitarist played some very cool tunes and also featured Crystal Pollard a singer & songwriter. We were also entertained by Rex Castor a co-worker and two of his friends Ken St. John & Roby Robertson a trio guitarists and singers in a group called "Schmooze" - they played some really awesome music.

UP and Pat & Oscar

On Father's Day we went to the movie to see UP in 3D, it was sad and funny. Then Leilani & Jay treated us to Pat & Oscar for a very late lunch -Thanks Leilani & Jay. Took these picture with Joy's new Lumix DMC-FX150 point & shoot camera by Panasonic. I bought it from Geeks.com for $215, it's a 14.7MP 3.6x Optical Zoom, what I like is the manual mode and takes HD movies.

Our little Chauffeur

Ariana passed her driving test first time in March 4, 2009. She can drive a jet ski, jet boat, go Karts and her quad when she was young but still can't ride a bike. I remember trying to teach her how to ride a bike, installing and removing the training wheels off & on so many times, that I just give up.

Joy's Dad and Aunt Jane's family

Joy came home with a lot Aunt Jane's pictures, so I made it into a small video. Enjoy!
