Sunday began warm, and got warmer.....all the way up to 85° F. We had a date to meet our oldest daughter, Meredith, and her boyfriend, Jake at Mt. Baldy Lodge for breakfast at 10 am. It's about a 35 minute drive from Fontana (1,216' elevation) up to Mt. Baldy Village (4,193' elevation) so we were in the Beetle by 9:20 am......
....we arrived at just about the same time Meredith and Jake did....perfect timing guys!
We found a great table out in the alfresco dining area, and settled in for breakfast. TLE pointed out to me almost immediately that there was a 'Huevos Ranchero' offering on the menu, and you just know I had to order that. I have had this breakfast dish all over the USA, and have found just a few of them worthy of the name, and this one would definitely go into my top 5 all time. As one might imagine, the conversation flowed without stop for almost 2 hours before it was time to leave. We both really enjoyed getting to know Jake a little better. He is quite the guy......he brews his own beer, which is quite good. He bakes bread, and especially sourdough bread.....he gave us a loaf when we attended my son-in-law, Nick's birthday, and we cherished every slice! He is a biologist, but also works a couple of days at a SoCal micro brewery called Alosta Brewing Company in La Verne, CA (they get 4.5 stars on Yelp on 185 reviews), which we will now have to visit before we move south to Ramona.
We were home by 1:30 pm after a quick stop at Trader Joe's (they're everywhere in SoCal.....how wonderful!). By that time it was beginning to get quite warm, but we resisted turning on the A/C one more day. I spent about an hour installing a new patio/porch light which has been needed for some time. Previously I had converted the existing porch light to LED about 3 years ago, but it was never very bright, and the whole point of a porch light is LIGHT, right? I think the new one meets that requirement quite well....
....it is really hard to look straight at the new light it is so bright (taken during daylight).
In yesterday's blog post I neglected to celebrate some good news.....our granddaughter, Cynthia (GEC*), became engaged to be married on Sunday to Daniel, her long time significant other. GEC* is also an amazing mother to our two great grandchildren, Daniel and Jameson......
The ring.......
......we are very happy, and look forward now to the wedding. GEC* will be the first of our grandchildren to marry......life is good!
Thanks for stopping by!
