The Pictures

The top picture is of Zack and Elizabeth at Neff Park. They liked this old tree with the huge roots and wanted to climb it. (Notice how tall Zack is getting?)

The next picture is Neff House. It and the George House are the oldest two houses in La Mirada. Mr. Neff and Mr. MacNalley owned this property. It was a working ranch and very famous for the olive groves. La Mirada still has a lot of olive trees in this part of the city. Mr. MacNalley is of the famous Rand/MacNalley, the famous Map makers. If you look at a Rand/MacNalley map of California, you'll see that La Mirada is show much more prominently than you'd think for such a small city. I've heard it was an agreement that was contracted into the company many years ago.

The next picture is of a lady who was demonstrating lace making. It was fun to watch. They move those little spindles back and forth, creating the lace. It was fascinating to watch.

The last picture is a beautiful quilt. Connie loved it so we bought some raffle tickets to see if we could win it. Many of the groups at the park were demonstrating something and trying to get interest for their various organizations. They did a great job of it.
