Carrie Fisher - Our Princess Leia

Such a sad loss today. Carrie Fisher passed away from heart related issues at the very young age od 60.  Facebook was filled with posts from so many people expressing their sadness and disbelief that our Princess Leia was no longer with us. 12/27/16

Star Wars with Isaac & Company

December 2015

Star Wars : The Force Awakens was even better seeing it the second time around (or is it my third time?).  Our friends Kris and Christy talked higley about seeing it together at the dinner theatre in Rocklin California. And so the four of us did. What a great and totally different experience seeing a movie in the dinner theater environment.  Walking in, one feels like they are an upscale restaurant complete with a full bar. One can relax and have a drink before the show (we had margaritas) then work your way to the theater near show time. The theater chairs have built in tables and waiters come by to take your order. No distractions and a great venue!  We're sold on the movie dining experience. 

"Star Wars : The Force Awakens"

We had such a great time! What a movie!  I was there at 3 pm to get in line but since no one was in line yet I went and picked up a few things at Walgreens. I made it first in line at 4 PM for the 11PM show.   

Gwen joined me at 6:00 O'clock and so the fun began! She was well supplied with panda, coffee, cream, sugar,  dessert and more. We were super excited,  had tons to chat about and meet cool great people in line.

The film was spectacular,  mind blowing great, true to the originals, and surpassed any if my expectations.   Looking forward to seeing it a few more times!

PENPEX Stamp Show 2015

December celebrated another year at the PENPEX (Peninsula Philatelic Exhibition ) Stamp Show in Redwood City, California.   This year I exhibited ireland; The First Permanent Definitive Series Used In Ireland - 1922-39. Tara and John Robert joined me Sunday afternoon! I placed with a silver and received a lot of great information to improve my exhibit.

Tara and I attended the awards banquet Saturday  evening at Harry's Haf Brau on El Camino Real. I grabbed the opportunity to get a quick picture with Kristin the PENPEX show chair person and a good friend! 

Sunday morning I spent time with Johnny putting together a Star Wars puzzle. Just like his uncle, he loves Star Wars! 

Four generations of Philatelists!
