Daniel "DJ" Milligan, and Layne Camarena. They visited DJ's grandmother, Chris Dabis, in Grass Valley. DJ was born in Grass Valley and was eager to show Layne, his girlfriend, around the area. Their visit was a week before DJ went into the Marines boot camp in Pendelton, CA.

Back at Grandmother's home, DJ gently gives Layne a caressing hug. Grandmother said that these two are a perfect match! She snapped this photograph from the behind the rails of the lower deck. 7 June 2011 |

Yep, that's right, and Grandmother's "proper-noun memory" is slipping. That caused a problem with her new herb garden: she could not remember the names of the plants. DJ and Layne gave the matter some thought.

The solution unfolded as DJ and Layne went to Deer Creek in Nevada City to find some oval river rocks.

DJ spotted the prefect rocks. Slight problem: He didn't want to get his boots wet and the rocks were in deeper water. Soltuion: Stack rocks high enough to tippy-toe to the coveted rockes.

After cleaning the rocks they used felt tip markers to write on the rocks. This one "Love You Grandma" by "Layne & DJ" was a special treat!

Three different kinds of BASIL ! Oh yeah? Not so! See that "Basil" plant on the far LEFT... well, one day about two months later, it grew two lovely Bell Peppers. It probably would have grown more of them, but I kept snipping its top leaves to use as sasoning. The poor thing! *hahahahah*
