We had a fun time out at Denny's.
We all enjoyed having lunch out together.
Grace loves her hamburgers, no Onions!

You know the food is good when the talking is cut into half when the food arrives.

Shirley tried her luck at the claw machine. No luck this time, maybe next time.
Thank you Denny's for your great friendly service!!!

San Carlos Elms Enjoys an Afternoon at Rodin Sculpture Garden at Stanford

We had an amazing visit to the Rodin Sculpture Garden.
The security at the garden was so helpful and we cannot thank them enough!
Standing in front of the "Gates of Hell" was intimidating, but even more when it began to knock.

The weather was perfect for viewing all of the sculptures in the garden.



Dolores and Mabel had fun talking to the police when they were visiting.

Sidney enjoyed the garden. She came home with three art books.

Shirley, Sue and Mabel having fun posing with one of the sculptures. 

We all enjoyed a small picnic in the garden it was a refreshing outing.

Happy St. Patrick's Day
