These are my wonderful nieces, nephew and partner in Boston. Ken & Toby, my favorite cousins in San Diego/Temecula and of course, Chloe and mom..who does not know she is a dog. Chloe rules. 
 
 

Bob Hope monument-San Diego

Here is a wonderful memorial to Bob Hope doing his USO Christmas show...all kinds of ethnic groups and wounded soldiers are there smiling and applauding. And in the distance is the statue of the sailor kissing his girl goodbye before going off to war. This is in San Diego Bay area. 
 
 

USA trip-Boston

Here are some ways that Salem decorated for Halloween and the election. (YEH!) The colorful leaves are so unique to New England. And then a visit with some cousins (and my nephews) I hadn't seen my cousins in years. Great reunions. 

Halloween in Paciano

I am here with my coven, although I preferred to disguise myself as a devil. Almost everyone chose to be a witch from the tiniest to the oldest. I never saw such an array of witch hats. Even though it poured rain, that did not stop them from going to every house, saying in English "Trick or Treat" and if there was no treat, you may have found flour on your doorstop later. I think they caught on rather fast..
