We will leave the math up to you! This may require significant computing power!
We are dressed for the USO dance at the Pasadena Senior Citizens Center with the Great American Swing Band! Checkout the shoes!
We are ready for Memorial Day!
We departed the hotel for Twoheys, a favorite hangout of Vicky’s.
Brunch is served
In 1955, Twoheys relocated to the corner of Huntington Drive and Atlantic Blvd. in Alhambra, where it thrived as a classic diner and carhop, becoming a go-to spot for families and friends of all ages. Generations of customers continued to make memories at Twoheys, and in 1997, the Twohey family passed the torch to a dedicated local Pasadena family who honored the legacy, keeping the traditions alive.
In 2020, Twoheys embarked on a new chapter in the vibrant community of South Pasadena. The updated space lovingly blends nostalgia with modern flair, featuring a vintage-inspired lunch counter, soda fountain, and the addition of a full bar, outdoor patios, and private dining areas—perfect for both everyday dining and special occasions. Through the decades, Twoheys remains a place where classic tastes meet new traditions, welcoming guests to enjoy great food and great company in a warm, inviting atmosphere.
We were all dressed up, and a couple came by, gave us a little envelope, and commented on our outfits. Inside was a $100 gift certificate for Twoheys! Wow!!!
We hit the jackpot today!!
The girls selected breakfast specials, while Jim and I went with the more traditional breakfast selections.
The girls make their selections.
The photographer came by and took our pictures; I was suckered, so I bought the pictures, one for Vicky and one for Mary!
We are looking good!
Lemon vodka with lemon zest and vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream… hic!
Mary has an “I’m Glad This Week Is Over” dessert!
Jim and I are dressed to the 9s for the USO dance.
Jim and Paul are enjoying brunch!
What? My Jack Daniels and chocolate ice cream with chocolate bits is gone! How can this be?
Oh My!!
We arrived at the USO dance just before it started. Vicky and Jim had a perfect table saved!
Off to the USO dance.
The band was a five-piece group from the 17-piece Great American Swing Band, and they were delightful!
Wonderful dance music!!
We danced and danced, and finally they played New York, New York, and the ladies allowed us to rest!
Some dance time.
We stayed until about 3:30 pm, but we needed to leave before the returning traffic started to clog the freeways. We made it home in 55 minutes, taking the 210 to the 57 to the 91 to the 55 to Katella!
After arriving home, Mary fixed a place of goodies for Jeff, and we visited him for a while. We stuffed the hollyhocks with a cream cheese filling, which made quite a presentation!
Jeff gets a snack!
Returning home and just before the sun went down, we jumped in the swim spa and soaked our weary bones for an hour. Afterwards, we watched TV until 11:00 pm and then crashed!
