Mandarin Orange / Christmas in Orange County

mandarin orange

I flew into Long Beach yesterday evening, and am staying with family in Tustin. It was surprisingly cool last night and early this morning, but the day warmed up nicely.  This morning I walked outside with Lynnie and she said that the mandarines were ripe and ready to pick.  It was the most amazing piece of fruit that I have ever eaten.  Indescribable.

Christmas in Tustin

Tonight we went out for a bite to eat at Playground in Santa Ana and on the way home took a detour to check out some Christmas decorations. Remarkable.

On Tuesday morning I will be talking about the suitcases to the California Hospital Association’s annual behavioral health symposium in Riverside.  I’ll be posting more about the event in the next day or two.

Peter and I had a nice walk around the neighborhood today.  It is very hot, but there is a bit of a breeze and there is always something interesting to see.  Plants just grow out here, many of which I have never seen before.  This round thing is about twice the size of a basketball.

This El Camino SS 396 is parked just down the street.  We’ve been driving by it all week and I especially wanted to get some photos before we leave.
