FUN STUFF…..
….Well, I guess Sunday at Amy’s was just too wondrous and I remained on cloud 9 Monday confusing the date of the ‘Poet’s on Site’ event at the Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden. Google this registered historical landmark. The Norton Simon Museum is just a few minutes...

ADVENTURES of the WEEK…..
The planting are in and should do well as they’re perfect for shade. Kita seems to approve but then you never know about her. The Rosemary that was in the large white pot got delegated to a smaller patio & I hope it’s happy there. Another Wednesday….another...
'BALLET NOW' REVISITED…..
…..began last week. If you go to the Dorothy Chandler for lunch in the Founder’s Room before an afternoon performance there’s scarcely a soul there and you can stand under the circle and make echoes. Fun stuff like splashing in the rain. Oh please, grow up!...
MATILDA the Musical and BALLET NOW …..
….with points in-between. Sunday Tomiko and I took in a matinee at The Ahmanson to see ‘Matilda, The Musical’. I’m really not sure about the hair……. At intermission we ambled to The Founders Room for tea & coffee mostly because I’m addicted to their cookies!...

DOWN TIME……
…..well, almost! I probably attempted too much last week but each and every moment was WONDERFUL! The price for all that fun & frivolity? A nasty cold! Things brightened up last Sunday when Brett and Krista brought Steffanie, Bretts darling sister (from...
FRIENDSHIP…….
……yes, friendship…the most valuable commodity….a true treasure that blossoms as it is cared for and nurtured. I am so grateful for my friends…beautiful flowers in my heart’s garden and grateful for all the love and care I continually receive…especially on my birthday...
