Yeah, I heard earlier that Hawaii was the only state without snow though there usually is some this time of the year.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

I remember those days in Corvallis, OR when we had ice storms and allot of snow. I love the pictures.

Today and this week it is to be about 80 and by next Saturday it is to be 70. So for those who can get to Southern California, come out here and enjoy yourself. I rolled up my sleves and tried to get a nice tan. ;)

Going back to the snowball fight, has anyone seen the coke comercial? That was good with the olympians having a big snowball fight. It got my uncle and I to laugh last night. :)

I saw lots of snow very clearly on Mt. Baldy while driving to DL yesterday.

Yes there is a Mt. Baldy! Ca. history is a passion with me. I know, very boooring to most. :o: Mt. Baldy, aka Old Baldy - named because there are few trees. Elevation is 10,068 ft. & the highest peak in San Gabriel Mountains as well as the highest point in L A Co. It's parent peak is San Gorgonio. Mt. Baldy is in Los Angeles & San Bernardino Counties. The proper name for Mt. Baldy is Mount San Antonio. Mt. San Antonio was named by or for Don Jose Antonio Yorba, so old family lore is written. Mt. San Antonio looked down on the first & only Spanish Landgrant (65,512 acres) in Orange Co. which was given to Yorba by the King of Spain July 1, 1810. The large Yorba Famly adobe home was named Rancho San Antonio. San Antonio was the Patron Saint of the Yorba Family. We still retain some Yorba artifacts at the ranch. DL was originally within the Yorba grant. This is your Valentine gift trivia darph. :love:

UPDATE

Every shave ice store in Hawaii has committed to producing 1,000 cups of shave ice. They will all toss them in the streets at noon today so Hawaii can join the other 49 states who have snow on the ground.
