Tuesday Tea

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 night and am making Shepherd's Pie tonight. Trader Joe is on my way to the subway.  I feel so Provincial shopping daily for dinner and then carrying my bag on the metro.  Not bad for a farm girl eh?  I am enjoying every minute here!  Actually have done some math and am about to start my pie.  Would like to tour the Catholic Church a block away, the Art Museum, the Tar Pit Museum, Getty Museum, and Paramount this trip.  Hope to meet up with some of Brian's relatives, and see the ocean (never tire of that!)  It Is What It Is and today was a great Hollywood day!

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...
