DINNER WITH THE CAPERS AND HANNAS

Sari and Jim enjoyed a dinner at the MariMonte Hotel with Bud and Gail Capers and Dick and Cindy Hanna. Had a great time....and the food was great!!

JIM GOES BACK TO SCHOOL....WOW!

We suppose that Jim didn't have enough schooling, so in retirement he decided to go back to school...to get his California Teaching Credential...who would believe. He will complete this in one Semester (if they don't throw him out)...and will teach? Who knows. But now that he already has his trophy for golf, and a 300 in bowling doesn't appear feasible, this seemed to be a better option than golfing and swimming all day. Who knows, he might even learn something. In the picture with Jim is Dennis Larney, one of his two instructors. Dennis believes there may still be hope for him as a teacher -- but only time will tell

SARI SPENDS A BUSY DAY WITH GRAND AND GREAT GRAND KIDS

Sari's grandson Jason, his wife Anne and their two kids (Sari's great grandkids) Jordan and Nathan came for a visit on a beautiful Saturday in the Desert. They went shopping, ate, played the Sun City 18 hold putting course and had a wonderful day together. Jim joined them for dinner at Sammy's at the Garden on El Paso.

GILDA'S BIG COMEDY NIGHT

Sari and Jim attend the annual Gilda's Club Comedy night, a benefit at the Spotlight Casino starring Rita Rudner. We also a pre-show dinner with Arne and Marilyn Fishler, Semour and Sonya Rothman and Lorna Block. Great show...great night.

A TWO FAMILY GET TOGETHER

On Saturday, February 28th, Sari and Jim had the opportunity of getting together with Sari's two sons - Bruce (who was visiting from Hawaii) and his wife Kim (not in the picture); and Ric with his girl friend Lu, and Jim's son Mike and Jim's two grand daughters Madison and Meridian. It was a lot of fun meeting each other and a day to remember.

THATS ENTERTAINMENT! SOME BIG SHOWS

Sari and Jim have enjoyed a series of live shows over the past two months that has be unbelievable. Not only have we enjoyed afternoon Jazz at Vickey's and the Living Desert, but we have seen a series of shows at Sun City which have included: Hal Linden, Charo, and others. But at the top of our list has been shows at the MacCallum. This started with a wonderful night with Johnny Mathis, followed by the Billy Joel show "Movin On" and the current "ABBA" group. But the Show with Steve Tyrell on February 21st was a knockout. Not only was the show a smash, but we sat right behind....you guessed it -- Keeley Smith, Sari's absolute favorite singer. They had a chance to talk for a minute, and Sari was stoked. What a night. The picture here was taken right after that show.

A VERY, VERY VALENTINES DAY

Sari and Jim spent a wonderful two days in Newport Beach for Valentines Day. This included some shopping at Fashion Island and a dinner dance at the Pacific Club where we jitter-bugged and had a excellent dinner. Later we met Nancy and Chuck Peacock for lunch
