Our Big Bear Adventure
Well, we had a wonderful day on Sunday. We started off early in the morning with Michelle, Ethan, Aubrey, and Brooklyn to head to Big Bear. Sis Sandy and Tom rented a cabin and we thought it would be fun to take the kids to the snow for the day. The kids got to go tubing down a snow covered hill (Thanks to Grandpa Stevie, who walked away with droopy drenched jeans). It was a nice visit. When we started driving home, it was right at sunset - - and wow, the view was spectacular coming down the mountain. Enjoy the pics!

After awhile, we started taking pictures to prove it!
Steve's Royal Flush at quarter machine!
Teri's Progressive win at a quarter machine!
Valentine's Day/Birthday! WOW
FIRST OFF, LET ME TELL YOU THAT ALL IN THIS POSTING IS TRUE! - - BUT HARD TO SWALLOW, I KNOW:
Hi All! Well, I have to tell you about the wonderful Valentine's Day/Birthday "get away" for Steve and I. Steve made reservations at Rincon Harrah's ( down near San Diego) for Thursday and Friday evening. We left with our usual $300.00 a piece (that's always been our LIMIT to lose if we gamble). Thursday evening, while playing on a dollar machine, I hit a 5X-5X-double bar, which paid $1,000.00. What a GREAT way to start out our 2 day stay at a Casino.
The next morning, knowing we had some $$$$ to try our luck with, Steve went to the 3 card poker table. Within minutes he hit a straight flush which paid $950.00. Now we started our "bank", which is the $$$ that we hold back and NOT SPEND. . . .just put it in the safe to go home with. We walked around a bit and Steve decided to try his luck at Let it Ride, which he usually does well at. He hit a full house which paid $220.00. Shortly after, he goes to the 3 card poker table again and hits ANOTHER straight flush. This time he was paid $900.00. While he's winning this money, Teri goes to a quarter slot machine (777 machines) and hits the progressive of $375.00. Knowing this luck would not continue, we decided to stop gambling and count our lucky stars. We decided to go to the bar, have a drink and make dinner reservations at a top notch restaurant in the Casino . . we figured if nothing else we would dine in style! While sitting at the bar - - of course, Steve put his $20.00 in a poker machine. He gets 4 cards on the draw for a Royal Flush and looks at me and says "All I need is a Jack of Hearts to hit a Royal Flush" (fitting it was "hearts" for Valentine's Day) - - Of course this NEVER happens, so I ignored his comment. He pushes his draw button and I hear him shout, "I got it"! Even the bartendar was amazed by this. This paid 4000 quarters, or $1000.00.
We then went into this great restaurant and both ordered steak and lobster with a bottle of wine for the table. The food was perfection and service flawless. It was a wonderful birthday dinner.
Of course, we did not come home with all of this money and probably would not have won all this money, had we not kept gambling because we knew we had the money to blow. But, I do believe this is the first time both Steve and I were lucky on the same weekend. (Usually, it's just Steve). All in all, we had a 2 night get-away, ate a delicious dinner, all our other meals were paid for by comps, and came home with money to spare when we got home. THAT'S WHAT I CALL A GREAT BIRTHDAY!
Had to share this with all, because it was just so hard to believe as it was happening. Hope everyone had a wonderful romantic Valentine's Day.
Til next time . . . .

The Beauty in Winter of So. California
Hi All - - Okay, I'm not going to brag, because we've had some pretty bad weather - but even when we do, there is a real beauty to Southern California in the winter time. We've been drenched with rain and many very cold days . . .but I captured these pictures during my 8 hour day at Rey Nelson Printing. We're a little upset because of the expansion of Ontario with alot of new buildings going up. This kind of ruined our PERFECT view of the Mountain. . . but I took pictures inbetween the buildings so you could understand the beauty that I'm talking about. We can see this snow covered Mountain from our backyard (Steve says we have a house with a view - - **only if you stand on your tip-toes!***Anyway, here's the pictures. I guess we've all had rough weather this year, and as Steve has said over and over and over again - - -
"I just wish we were splashing around in the pool right now. "
Rain, rain, rain - but now and then the sun would break out to create a wonderful rainbow
Cold up there (for sure!) - but we get to enjoy the view. This was taken at sunset with a beautiful pink sky and snow covered Mtns.
Another rainbow picture with those sons a bitches that built right next to us that messed up our view! (Okay, the garbage dumpster is ours! lol)
Rainy days - but quite fitting that we had the prism shining above Rey Nelson Printing - - Afterall, we print every color of the rainbow (little corney I know!)
More pink sky with those great ski Mountains above us.
Storm clouds moving out - - but the California sunset couldn't help but shine on a few
More Mtn.
Wow - - I saw this as I was going to my car and had to get out my camera.
Sky started to clear - - sun shining in the West on the storm clouds moving out.
Probably raining and snowing in higher elevations in this picture.
