A good friend of mine recently celebrated her 60th birthday. We finally coordinated our calendars and were able to get together for lunch and to catch up on life.
I chose a beautiful restaurant in Fullerton known for it's 5 star food and beautiful views. When I pulled up into the parking lot I was expecting to see the parking valet ... instead we were greeted with this ...

| A HUGE oil drilling rig smack dab in the center of the parking lot! |
I am aware as well as anyone that we are experiencing a fuel shortage ... but drilling for oil in the middle of a parking lot is crazy! It was very loud and very smelly! Fullerton as well as Brea, a neighboring town are known for their crude oil. In it's "hay" day gallon's of the liquid gold were pumped from the ground on a regular basis.
 |
| A wider shot of the drill, it's hard to see but their is an American flag waving in the air high above the rig. |
Fortunately were couldn't hear the noise of the drill or the aroma it produced from inside the restaurant!
 |
| This English Tudor style restaurant has a stunning view of the above picture. |
After a delicious meal of melt in your mouth Suka Bay Salmon salads we were served these beautiful deserts.
 | |
| These were both served to Debbie! English Trifle and ice cream filled Pi federals. OMG, they were so yummy! |
 | |
| This one was packed up and taken home with the birthday girl. |
Such a lovey day with a wonderful friend.
