In the late 40′s to the 50′s we spent lots of time at STREAMLAND PARK with the music of Mexico in our ears as we played in the stream. if anyone wants to say hi and such I am found at Mac4TBH@yahoo.com and the family name is also flores from the old days.

I think that’s ‘son’ on the right. He’s home, on college break, for Christmas. He got ‘sis’ the sweatshirt she’s wearing as a present, and he’s wearing his gift from mom. Dad, on the left, is so happy and proud to have his kids with him at this time.
~ Cheers :~)

Hi Charles: I enjoyed seeing this happy trio — I don’t know anyone who is remotely this joyful in the morning! My fave donut stand is “The Donut Man” located on historic Route 66 in the village of Glendora. The tiger tails are simply divine! Loved your Christmas show! — It’s our new family tradition! — L

Charles, some of your pictures make me cry, but happy cry. They remind me so much of times with my dear ordinary comfortable family. Especially the dinnerware, table items, little details in the picture. Thanks for the little nudge to reminisce and thank the Big One in the sky (insert diety of choice) for all the donuts, coffee, cigarrettes and family times.

I wish milk cartons were still that colorful!

The Donut Hole in La Puente is one of my favorites. How fun is it to DRIVE through the center of a donut?? But my absolute favorite donut shop is the Donut Man on Route 66 in Glendora. Growing up, my family stopped by regularly. The fresh strawberry and fresh peach filled donuts are delicious (and SO unhealthy!).

I don’t know why this picture makes me so happy. Perhaps because the trio look so happy. There’s nothing like good smokes, good coffee, good mush, good donuts, and good friends.

Bonnie and I ( twin ) walked down to the polich bakery where the donuts were absolutely huge, four times normal size filled with the must lushish custard you ever ate yur like. Yes we drank coffee right along with the adults, never an issue!Charles you were so good Xmas, just loved all the suites and everything else.
