This picture was a gift from my youngest daughter Savannah in the mid 1990's. It has been hanging on my wall neigh on 30 years. I cannot remember if it was a birthday gift or a Father's Day gift but either way I fell in love with it at first sight. Now I see her when I look at the picture, as she was when she was a little girl. The picture itself captures those things which I hold dear, The great outdoors, fishing and a good way of life.

Earlier this year I took my two grandsons, Jack and Josiah, fishing at laguna Lake Park. It was a good place to start. We didn't catch anything, but we had a ball. The boys are Savannah's sons. It completes the cycle. Anyway, I've been telling myself I was going to share it and today is the day. God Bless you, stay safe and go fishing!

Castaneda's in La Habra

 My wife Jeri and I had a few errands to run today in the La Habra area, it was lunchtime and we were hungry so we stopped at Castaneda's for lunch. We have been there at least a half dozen times and I have always ordered the the same thing; one cabesa (beef head) taco and one carne asada taco, a la carte.

My wife on the other hand, has tried a few other dishes but today she ordered the chicken taquitos plate which comes with four taquitos topped with guacamole and the two usual suspects, the ubiquitous but always the perfect accompanments; rice and beans. She enjoyed her meal but could not quite finish. Fortunately I was there to help and ate the last taquito.

They have a small salsa bar but it has enough choices to satisfy.

Castaneda's is a modest, simply adorned restaurant and if you are a boxing fan, you will enjoy all the boxing photos on their wall.

If you go, don't  be squeamish, try the cabesa taco!
