St. Patrick's Day at the Races











Cheryl and I spent the day at Santa Anita Race Track on St. Patrick's Day. This was the first time we've been here all this race season. It was a gorgeous day, the big fountain had green water, we got free t-shirts and bet on every Irish sounding horst in all 10 races. We didn't really win any money but we sure had a great day!








I forgot my camera so I don't have any pictures from the races. These pictures are from last weekend at Mark and Amanda's. They have been working for weeks re-doing their outside yards. They have torn out fences, installed new stamped concrete, planted about 500 (I am not kidding!) new plants, installed a cool firepit where the fire comes up through the sand, built big planter boxes, installed all sorts of cool lighting, lots of new sod and a special ramp for Amanda's dad that will make it easier for him to get onto the patio. All this should be complete for the big 30th birthday bash next weekend. Saturday is a huge party for Mark's friends and Sunday is for the family. I'll post pictures after the party.
