January 2018

January started with a “Pre-Run” to Yuma Arizona for the Topless
Convertible group.  Our real run will be in mid-February, and this trip was

To scout out places to stay, things to do and places to eat.

In Borrego Springs, we saw this incredible metal sculpture.
I just loved it!

We drove to Anaheim to meet up with
Brandon, Karen, Ben and Anna.

Anna was in a major gymnastics event and of course

She was fantastic!  So graceful and so talented.

Fun times in the hotel mini water park!

The “Road to California” Southern California Quilt show

was so beautiful.  This was my favorite quilt.  So intricate.

Our topless event took us into Redlands to see some of the

gorgeous mansions from the turn of the century.

Who would have guessed that Redlands had
so many beautiful homes?

We also had a tour of the Redlands “Smiley” Library.

Such a grand library….. built in the early 1900’s by Mr. Smiley
who spent the winters in Redlands.  He wanted to give back to Redlands.

My fellas!

Mike’s golf weekend with the boys took them to

three golf courses in the area.

They all had a great time!

Our very dear friends, the O’Connors have sold their lot here at ORI

And have headed off to another chapter in their lives.

We will miss them terribly but will make a point to

continue to see them.
