Chris sang again with the Glendale College Concert Singers this past Sunday. Vaughan Williams' Dona Nobis Pacem was the main attraction! You can listen to this excerpt from the final movement, O Man Greatly Beloved. It Rocked!!

Descanso Gardens with Allyn

In the rose garden, I think I prefer Descanso's Rose Garden to Huntington's. Descanso has more private arbors, gazebos and walkways, you feel lost in the roses!

Doodle and Dad

Doodle wasn't feeling well this week, he's feeling better but you can see how his little eye is runny and how tired he is. He ate something, who knows what, he is a corgi after all. Anyway, he had to get two shots, one for his tummy and one for his lower innards. Poor little doodle. He's better though.

Why use one bed when there are two...

Right?
