Altadena

Seema and Suraj decided to come visit us for the weekend in Altadena, CA (which is where we now live). From our house, you get a great view of the mountains nearby, so we decided to take a road trip and do some exploring. It was great to see, and we were talking about planning a camping trip together one day as well.

We were also so full after our weekend together eating at a few different "very cheap, but very good food" discoveries we've made :) A mediterranean dinner from one place - where all 4 of us were fed for $10.00 (rotisserie chicken, pita bread, garlic and chili sauce, and jalepeno hummus). Lunch the next day was at John's and my favorite Asian diner - where we usually are stuffed from a spicy, yummy plate of Singapore noodles for $6.50... I love these little discoveries :)

Here are our pics from our Altadena "exploring":

Solar Magic

John and I have decided to use our time in California to experience as much as we can, and in doing so, we've met and worked with many interesting people. We've had the opportunity to work a few times with Trina Celise (although she goes by the nickname, Tee), the owner of "Solar Magic" - a business that produces jewelry which changes color in the sunlight. Her father actually invented the Mood Ring (remember that from the 70's-80's?)

Anyway, for those familiar with QVC, the famous home shopping network was interested in Tee's product, and has placed orders with her about 4 different times so far. John and I have worked with her to help complete some of those orders, and we helped run her Quality Control department as Project Managers for her most recent order.

For those interested in seeing and possibly purchasing the product, take a look at her website: www.solar-magic.com (Sometimes, it takes a little while for the pictures on the website to load up, but you get to see the 4 different styles of jewelry and the colors that change). The product can also be found on the QVC website.

Here are pics from our last product order with her:
