Simple Joys

I was so excited last week when the weather appeared more fall like. The temperature was in the mid 80's and the day started off looking like rain. While it never rained and most of the clouds/haze whatever you want to call it burned off by the afternoon it was nice to have weather more like Indiana. While I miss the beautiful colors of fall, I love seeing the mountains appear out of the haze, and I enjoy watching the color slowly creep back into the mountainside. I have also discovered pedicures. I don't remember getting pedicures before moving out here. But now a group of us try to to get together every other month or so and relax. It is one of the best things every. Just sitting there talking with friends and being treated like a queen, and your toes look great all for around $20. You can't beat that.

Finally Something

Well it isn't that exciting but still kind of neat. Tucker had to work Sunday night like usual and NASCAR was in town racing at the Auto-Club Speedway which is about 5 miles from us. The Goodyear blimp was of course at the race. As it was leaving the race heading back to Carson, CA the blimp flew through Chino's airspace and Tucker got to direct them through.


Growing up I remember always being so excited to see the blimp, as it would fly overhead. I also always thought there was only one, however that is not the case there are 3 located throughout the United States. The one Tucker talked to is the Spirit of America, based close to LA while the one I most likily saw growing up is the Spirit of Goodyear based near Akron Ohio.
