What a Day in Sunny LA

So great to be back to visit Amanda & Bryce.  I don't need to "do" anything except take long walks through Hancock park, drool over mansions, enjoy the green grass and sunshine and each others company watching I Love Lucy and House Hunters.

After an easy flight to Phoenix, flight to LA was even easier.  (shocking for me!)  The only glitch was eating a fish sandwich from McDonald's that was the worst thing I have ever eaten.  By the time I waited in line for a salad (they were out of nearly everything including Diet Coke) I got a filet of fish that was more like rock of fish.  I had walked the entire airport to get to McDonald's and back to my gate only to find I could not even eat it after I took a couple of bites.  My poor stomach yelled at me all the way to LA and I was sure I would need to locate the sick bag!

Bad stuff over, we spent Sunday walking, touring a 7.7 million dollar home in Hancock Park (on sale for 7 million), going to Larchmont for Lavender Honey ice cream cones, and just hanging out watching TV.

Last night we saw Beauty and the Beast at El Capitan theater.  True Disney perfection!  Great movie. Pigged out on buttered popcorn!  The theater is amazing.  Right across the street from the Dolby Theatre where the Oscars are presented.  Toured that a year ago.  Anyway, it was full of Hollywood last night.  Weirdos abound!  So much fun to people watch.  Tomorrow we are going to a taping of Jimmy Kimmel right next door to El Capitan.  Today off to LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) and maybe a walk around the LaBrea tar pits.  I don't think we will get to the ocean this time
:( .  It is spring break and so crowded at Santa Monica on a normal week.  Takes so long to drive back and forth in traffic to walk the pier but I sure love being there.   It is what it is and it is good!

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...
