Dancin' On the Edge of the Hollywood Sign

On Tuesday after our trip to Coronado, Amanda and I took off in the clouds for the Hollywood sign.  We hiked up as close as we could go only to be caught in the rain coming back down.  But, we got some great photos and saw some gorgeous homes.  The view was something else.  After drying out, we drove to Hollywood Blvd., parked and walked around.  We souvenir hunted since Hooray for Hollywood is my theme for table next December.  The construction crews are everywhere and Hollywood Blvd. is closed off getting ready for the Oscars next Sunday.  So is the Kodak theatre :(.  We ate at Mel's Diner (a platter of yummy fried samplings), stopped at the Hollywood Museum to take our tour and found it closed on Tuesdays!   ARGH!  We managed to fill the day somehow!  We walked around some more, found Ed O'Neil's star (that I wanted to find because I watched the ceremony when he got it), founds dozens of others and decided to find Paramount Studios (the old Desilu Studios).  Walked around in the Forever Hollywood cemetery.......creepy.....saw no stars, took photos of Paramount and drove back home.  Made chicken soup to top off a very chilly, wet day!  It is what it is and it is very good in Hollywood!

Delta Dog Days 3

 We have not been able to leave her alone for more than a few minutes.  UGH newborn.  She is a sweetheart and not bothered or barking at other dogs. After I worked at the Thrift shop I took her up to the pool deck and locked the gate.  She is so small  she got through the rungs of the deck.  😳  It is what it is.  She is so sweet but so is needy and so challenging.

Delta Dog Day 4

 Beyond belief, we both got to sleep upstairs in our bed all night!  She could not scale the new gate and settled in her crate in the kitchen around 2:00 AM.  Otto gave me the night but after she settled, he came upstairs and she did not bark or whine all night!!!   I came down after a shower, took her outside on her lead and then fed her.  Back upstairs to do my hair etc.  I heard "something" and came downstairs to find that she had opened the pantry (that has a magnet closure on it for dog/children safety) and had a bag of marshmallows on the floor, not opened thank goodness.   I blocked it with a chair but removed anything that she could get to if she opened it again (within her reach).  NOTE:  new plan for pantry.   Later in the day we were sitting outside with her and she picked some cherry tomatoes and ate them (yes I checked on Google that they are NOT poisonous for dogs).  After dinner with friends, she snatched a corncob an...

School's out, teacher let the fools out!

No more pencils, no more books, no more STUDENT'S dirty looks! What a group I had this year, eiy yie yie! I can honestly say if I never see some of that bunch again, it will be too soon. Fun party last night...too tired to sleep! Nice feeling to sleep in. ADK party this afternoon, piano lesson (may have to re-schedule), picking up new car in Ann Arbor and going to Amanda's 2 baseball games. Nice video chat with Andrew & Matt last night. They get so silly! Brian landed safely in L.A. at 2:09 our time. His plane from Philly was delayed over 3 hours. All day to go 5 hours sucks, but he is safe! Congratulations Matthew Sandoval on your middle school graduation. Have fun with your family. I cleaned out 2 filing cabinets of old 4th grade files and old materials we don't use any more. I think I filled 10 boxes to re-cycle. I didn't get my bulletin boards done for fall (who knows where I will be anyway!) or my books sorted (paperbacks). Administrative whispe...
