Saturday, February 10, 2018

Tonight's picture was taken in August of 2005. Mattie was in Los Angeles visiting my parents and together we went to Mattie's favorite museum..... the George C. Page Museum. Or as Mattie knew it.... the tar museum. It got that name because surrounding the museum, are literally ancient tar pits. Within many of these pits they have found prehistoric animals which are on display at the museum. The museum also has an active tar pit where archaeologists work to unearth more rare animal bones.

I was flipping through a dog catalog and look at what I found! Not only a tan border collie like Sunny, but next to the photo was the dog's name..... Mattie. What are the chances of this?

My mom and I went on a three mile walk today. It is wonderful to see sun and lovely weather. People in Los Angeles do not realize how lucky they are.... very few cold and gray days here. 

Check out this beautiful bed of Shasta daisies! I love all daisies!

As we were walking, we passed this sight! This car is for sale. Someone needs a better lesson in marketing. After all I can't imagine the average buyer wants a car that says..... Dead and Buried!

Another glorious sighting.... Portalucas! Given that I just came from DC which was in the 20's and gray, seeing greenery in February is definitely so unusual and makes you feel better. 

We are going to Bistro Gardens tonight with my parent's friends. We only go to this restaurant on special occasions, as the setting inside is quite special. In the evening it is a magical setting with trees, live piano music, and twinkling white lights.
