Now the Front Yard is getting a facelift

This is the progress on the front of the house. This project should be our final one until after next tax season

The New Gold Wing her first day home

Dan on the old Suzuki Intruder 1500

In the summer of 1962 Danny worked for his Uncle Ben in Salome Az as a farm hand making $1.00 per hour 10hours per day 6 days per week. His goal was to buy a El Camino at the end of the summer. Well, that El Camino did not get purchased. What he got was a
Honda 55. That motorcycle was traded about 6 months later for a Honda 150 and then finally in the fall of 1965 Danny bought a Honda 305 Superhawk. That was his transportation for the next couple of years. He rode that bike from Lake Havasu to Santa Ana College and back while he went to school. In the Spring of 1967 he traded that bike for a 1960 Ford Falcon. As soon as he got that car he met Julie at Santa Ana College and the story began. The only two wheels that I had during the next 40 years was a Sears Scooter that my brother David left behind when he went missing and a bicycle.

Well, in 2003 Danny got back into riding again and purchased a 2001 Suzuki Intruder 1500LC. He rode that bike 31,500 miles and then this year 2007 on May 19th he sold that bike and the next day went back to Honda.

He now has a 2007 Honda Gold Wing 1800cc dream bike. Julie now rides with him. They just got back from a trip to Sacramento to see the birth of their third grandchild, Eliot.

So, he started with a Honda and now is back on a Honda. But this one is much larger.
Hope you like the pictures.

Love Ride 23

November 12. 2006 was the Love Ride 23. I have gone on this ride for the past few years and raised funds for charity. I want to thank all of you who donated to this charity event and hope you enjoy the pictures. I will have more to add soon when the event sends us their pictures.



This is a picture of some of the 20,000 bikes parked in the street in Glendale, Calif for the start of the ride. We then rode up interstate 5 to Castaic Lake for the event.

Julie took Danny to see "The Dave Brubeck Quartet" at the Cerritos Center on Aug 21st for sort of a pre birthday gift. We had a great time. Dave Brubeck was born in 1920 and he still plays like he did in the 50's. We went out to dinner before the concert and stopped at McD's for an icecream cone on the way home. We were out way past our bedtime.

Nathan & Chloe Which one is which?????

Julie traveling to Montana

Julie went out to Montana on July 26, 2006 for her Uncle Norm and Aunt Dorrie's 50th anniversary. She traveled with her sister Joy who was the flower girl in the wedding 50 years ago. That is a little odd due to Joy always telling us that she is only 45 years old. How does that work????

Anyway these are some of the pictures of that event. If you know the people in the pictures then why would I put their names on them. :)

The wonderful 1970's Look at the pants

Nathan and Julie climbed Mt. Whitney which is the tallest mountain in the Continental United States. They did this in 1992 along with three others in the next picture. From left to right is, Ken Maring, Mary Ann Maring, Nathan Traxler, Steve Maring & Julie Traxler. Dan Traxler took this picture along with Amy Traxler. The two of them stayed down at the base camp during the climb. Amy was getting over pneumonia.

Julie's sister Joy married Mike Jones some time ago like 33 years. Look at Mike's hair. He must have been a hippie. Joy hasn't changed one bit.

Danny & Julie had their passport pictures just before Danny was drafted into the Army in 1969. Don't they look cute?
