It is what it is

Since the photos I took yesterday had a title of Hump Day Walk through Hancock Park today's title will be Throwback Thursday.  Tonight I am taking my first Uber car down to Hollywood to the El Capitan Theatre (right across the street from Grauman's and the Kodak) to see a Throwback Thursday movie with Amanda.  She wants me to see the theater and thought Saving Mr. Banks would be there but Throwback is Aladdin.  It will be fun!  Haven't been quite that far down this trip and we can go early and walk around a bit. Yesterday was the same trip as Monday and Tuesday and today.  I don't get tired of the walk through Hancock Park.  Always something more to see and I can't get enough of looking at those houses.  Wish we had time in the evening to explore more, there are many streets I haven't seen yet! I don't like the bus when it is crowded.  People are not very polite!  The subway is always busy.  Like I posted yesterday....too many people, ...

Since we are huge Downton fans, you could say that Amanda and I have been meeting for tea.  It is so good to be back in L A and enjoying the warm weather.  Nice break from our Michigan winter from hell!  I know it is chilly here but the sun has been warming, flowers are blooming, gardeners are cutting the grass (oh the smell), I can wear shorts, capris and flip flops and the walks through Hancock Park are amazing.  I walk to Wilshire Blvd., take the bus to Wilshire/Vermont, get on the subway and off at Hollywood & Vine.  I love the walk down the Hollywood Walk of Fame to get to the film school.  Today I got the grand tour.  We ate outside on the parking lot/roof top/eating area and could see the Hollywood hills.  It is an amazing place.  And to think that Michigan got another 4 inches last night.  We watched Downton last night, Bryce worked late so we will probably watch it and Jimmy Falon tonight.  I made Black Bean Chili last ...

Perfectly normal Sunday at home.  Church, laundry, catching up, more snow and packing for LA.  The flight to Denver started off normally but was already dark at 7:00.  I had a window seat which I hate!  By the time the plane got to the de-icing pad, we could have BEEN in Denver.  Metro does not look that big until you bump around in a 737 at 5 mph.  Then bumped back to the runway.....finally after 7:30 we were off.  I didn't look out again until just before Denver because my window was all frosted over.  Comforting!  The pilot warned us it was extremely windy and only one runway was being used to land and take off so it would be awhile.  My connection to LA was leaving 9 minutes after we landed.  The board said "delayed".   I only had 6 gates to go and I had gate checked my carry-on so I only had my purse and my big computer/book bag (that weighs a good 25 lbs.)  As I hoofed up to the gate, there was no one left in the boa...
