Family gatherings and the protectors

Just get a roadside seat and set the record button,


so much to see........

A Family Night at the Pasadena Museum
traces the history of five families...






Mah Jong tables set up in a game room




to recreating memories....

A Memorial Day way to connect families...

started decades
ago...but came to celebrate their deep roots.


It was a shout out to local community and
a time for stories to be shared....a tremendous
effort by those who helped engineer the event.






























After this week's earthquake, I saw local fire depts.
































Policing going on...
































There when you need them, and even when you
don't.
















And when you need to get away from it all, Vroman's bookstore, which has maintained it's readers and independence





an oasis in the midst of any turmoil.
