The Houses on Marble Arch Drive

We went on a walk down memory lane last weekend.  These are the two houses that  Rod grow up in -- both on the same street in Tustin, OC, CA off of Red Hill.  They started in the rambler and then built the two story (with a swimming pool in the back).  Both are still in great shape and it is a lovely peaceful neighborhood.

Pit of Despair

The pit of despair is now looking for a new purpose.  Any ideas?  Suggestions?  We will need to decide soon before its time to mow the lawn.  I can tell you one thing-- I will NEVER clean it out again.  I saw many signs of life in the process today and most of them were totally disgusting. Fortunately, none of them were of the snake family.

Miranda Allen Bateman


 In my last post I showed a link to the 9 Generation Pedigree Chart creation web site.  My fifth fraternal grandmother (My dad's mother's Grandmother on her mothers side- got that?) is Miranda Allen Bateman  If you go into Gardner Village Restaurant and turn toward the down stairs by the hostess desk, you will find a display with  Great Great Grandma Bateman's picture and a sweet story about her and my GGGrandfather Samuel Bateman.
