More To Come

Modesto: We were surprised that it wasn't as hot as we
thought it would be...all the way to Hanford. We had a
chance to visit with my nephews (my brother's daughter,
Diana, and his son, William). Diana has two sons, Leland
and Wesley. Diana is a "tree hugger"(according to my
brother's take) who works for the California Department Of
Land Management and William isn't so sure whether he should further his education or open a swimming pool cleaning
business. He's very bright, so time will tell....

They weren't able to drive with us to visit with
Aunt Ruth, my last remaining uncle or aunt. She's still just
as lively and dynamic as I remember her being. She once snuck
me out to a circus, unbeknownst to my worried parents.

My brother & Roni, his new wife, Chizuko & drove to Hanford, suffering a blown out tire on the way to the family's "Ice
Cream Mecca". The Superior Creamery is Hanford's "Claim To
Fame." At least it is in our family.

Superior Creamery is a classic 50's creamery that serves
mediocre sandwhiches (at best) yet makes home-made ice cream
and sundaes (and humongous ice cream splits!) to die for.


We gorged on ice cream delights the size of one's head! The
last photo is one of my Californi brothers and cousins.
Chizuko was a real trooper and showed great patience on
this, or 30th anniversary. The photos with my Aunt Ruth
are priceless. I just wish I didn't have my butt up my
rear so much of the time.
