Sun.-Wed., August 15-25, 2021
We start this post with another celebration, my Mother's 97th birthday!
We met at her home with my sisters and the cousins to celebrate the day on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon around the pool.
Our Mother Chuny on the right
with Jacob ready to help blow
out any errant candles
Cousin Leo handled the chores
for the kid's Great-Grandmother
It is hard to believe that there is so much singing talent in the family.
Enjoying the day at the
historic Contreras family pool
CANNONBALL!
Frolicking in San Marino
Always good to see Jacob and Mary
with our niece Lauren's kids
Max and Leo
Mary with her Great-Grandma Chuny
The following week was the start of the kid's soccer season and the start of school for son Michael who teaches in the Social Science Department at Newbury Park H.S.
Two on one, Jacob and Mary

Laurie and I took Jacob to the
Ronald Reagan Presidential Library
The Library is located in nearby Simi Valley and was hosting a special exhibit that Jacob wanted to see entitled "FBI: From Al Capone to Al-Qaeda."
Jacob with Ron and Nancy
Jacob was allowed to take off his
mask to address the crowd
Air Fore One is always one of
Jacob's favorite things to see
on our trips to the Library
I felt that it was OK for Jacob to
ride this relatively immobile steed
with the President
Jacob liked the shot-up
Bonnie and Clyde car
It was a good visit with Jacob really loving the FBI shooting range where he was allowed to shoot laser pistols.
Michael's first day of school
was followed by . . .
. . . Mary's first day of soccer practice
Having this food truck near Jacob's
soccer practice field was a GREAT idea!
On Thursday, the Camarillo Scorpions
hosted the Buena Bulldogs
It was the Freshmen season opener for both squads.
Camarillo in gray
As the Sun set on the game,
Buena won the day, 18-0
There were lots of mistakes by both clubs but at least they got to play.
The Three Amigos before
Friday night's Buena Bulldogs at
Oak Park Eagles Varsity season opener
Jacob and I speed walking to
the Oak Park game field
A nice setting at OPHS with a
typical late arriving crowd
First Quarter action
Jacob LOVES being on the sideline
The Buena defender in white
broke up this possible TD pass
A big Buena run near halftime
The visiting Bulldogs led 21-6 at the intermission.
After a scoreless Third Quarter, the tide turned in Oak Park's favor.
The winning Two-Point PAT catch
for Oak Park with only 1.9 seconds
left in the game
The final score was Oak park (1-0) 22 - Buena (0-1) 21.
The three of us had fun but the
next day was the Opening Day
for the Camarillo AYSO season
Jacob was pumped for Mary's
first ever game at 10:00 a.m.
It was Mary's Rainbow Butterflies against the Amazing Rainbow Zebras.
Lots of Rainbows in Girls soccer at this age I'm guessing.
Michael was the Referee for Mary's game
He really needs a pair of shoes.
Mary on the left
Mary giving the ref "The Look"
after a questionable call
Mary, green #6, with the flying hair
She had fun I believe
Jacob played at 1:00 p.m.
Jacob is #8 and played in the
field in the First Half
He ran a lot today, something
that not many of these kids had
done during the pandemic
GO GET IT, JACOB!
Hands on hips usually means
WINDED!
Running some more
In the Second Half, Jacob donned
his #1 Goalie jersey
Making a stop
Goalie Kick
It was good to see both grandkids running around again after such a long time.
On Sunday we drove up to
the Estates for some cheap seat
viewing of the Camarillo Air show
We did not want to be in close contact just yet with the thousands of spectators at the Camarillo Airport.
WWII bomber starting his
bombing run
BOOM!!!
FLAMES!!!
That was another fun experience with Jacob and Mike.
I needed a football fix . . .
. . . so I headed to El Camino Real H.S.
to watch a practice and scratch my itch
person school for Jacob and Mary
Trendi Eats is a Facebook
sensation in our house
The hostess goes all over Ventura County reviewing restaurants and food trucks recommending future dining pleasures to this site's many followers.
Tonight, Laurie and I tried the tri-tip sandwich at Da Hickory House BBQ in Oxnard's Collection Shopping Center.
DOUBLE WOW!!!
We were most impressed and will definitely come back here often.
