A Kale Tale!?!
I’ve had a good laugh over the recent kale craze. The curly-edged grayish-green leaves have long been used almost exclusively as decoration, ever since salad bars became all the rage a few decades back. While I can’t pinpoint on a calendar, kale jumped off the edge of the salad bar to become Southern California’s eat-healthy, […]

Moooo Baby
On a mini detour this past springtime, up a side road near the eastern L.A. County border with the OC, I whipped a u-turn to catch this idlyllic scene. There’s some rodeo-worthy steer in that field! With a sturdy fence offering protection, I clicked away. And, honestly, I felt the graffiti was equally photo-worthy, adding […]
Driving the Peninsula…
…Palos Verdes Peninsula, that is! I was out at South Coast Botanic Gardens yesterday, and left earlier than I’d intended (it was too HOT), deciding the Pacific Ocean would be cooler. So, as I departed the gardens, I turned left onto Crenshaw and then right onto Palos Verdes Drive North, which led me to Palos Verdes […]
A Garden For All Ages
Small children, grandchildren? I’m guessing they would love the children’s garden at South Coast Botanic Garden, on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, as much as you will! Nursery rhymes are displayed in a separate little garden area, near the entrance. Really adorable! For adults, it’s a great way to reminisce and spend some time out of touch […]

We started off with a traditional hamburger and fries lunch at a 50’s style diner called Watson’s Drug Store, then explored the numerous antique shops and boutiques. Such a fun […]

Most everyone is familiar with the trendiness of Los Angeles, especially with Rodeo Drive in the neighborhood. Many people travel far and wide to visit this expensive street, lined […]
PS, I Love Your Art!
As I mentioned in my previous post, Kat and I visited the Palm Springs Art Museum during a recent trip to PS. It was a fabulous find, a really gorgeous art museum. Below is just a sampling of photos taken there.
PS, I Love You!
Palm Springs is fabulous in the summer, and honestly, I can’t wait to go back again… in the fall, winter, spring! It was just a tad HOT when Kat and I took a one night getaway to PS recently. We heard the temp reached 117 during our visit. I’m guessing, though, once you get past 100, […]

SoCo, trendy in The OC
So, while the westside of Los Angeles is famous most everywhere, if not the world, for just about everything — from fashionistas flocking, stars clamoring for attention, moguls moguling, interior designers a la extraordinaire shopping, eateries indulging, luxury automobiles parading, paparazzi hovering — the OC is also famous, and for far more than its Laguna […]
