Both Leanna and Turk were elated to see him. Turk, who only smiles at a chosen few, lit up with a big smile when he saw his father.
Late Friday night or early Saturday morning our daughter Lisa arrived with her three little girls, Madeleine, Elodie and Camille. They too had problems traveling. This time it was not the TSA who were unhelpful, it was the car rental agency. Finally they drove up to the house and pretty soon found places to sleep.
Since then life has been pretty busy, but I have done a terrible job of taking photographs. And the ones that I have taken do not have very many people looking at the camera. Of course, the girls have loved the pool and the beach. And unfortunately they have also got sunburned.
Last night they drove to the Los Angeles area so that they could go to Disneyland for two days. It is very quiet at our house with only Earl and myself. I am taking the quiet time to wash a pile of beach towels.
Of course, we took all of them to the glider port one afternoon. Earl and I never get tired of it. For several years in a row, we rented an apartment on the campus of UCSD. We could look out of the window and see the gliders gracefully sailing across the sky.
As you can see from the picture of Eser and Turk, they are the ones who really enjoyed the day.
Eser is a quiet and gentle man. He is thoughtful and courteous. His three nieces have fallen in love with him. One night all three of them sat on the sofa as close as they could to him to watch a movie. No room for his wife or baby. One of the girls, Madeleine, does not seem to be able to get the pronunciation of his name right. She is really an ordinary intelligent child. However, she has a mental block. I explained that her new uncle's name was pronounced "S - air." She is still calling him Esa. At the moment it sounds as if he might be Jacob's twin from the Old Testament.
