So this is a face with different animal parts but the parts making a whole; A Hawk's nose, 2 fish swimming for an eye, a cat's eye and ear, a shark's gill, and man's tongue and mouth. Voila, all one in the Universe.

What's this? That is his Mantra. Everything is new to this little guy. From the big fat seals to the ocean to crabs, seaweed, rocks, birds, waves, other pups...it's the bomb.

Buster loves the beach and has really started to dig into the water. By the end of our walks, he is filthy, wet and so so happy!

Is this not a doll baby??? He is giving the model look. Avid sunbather, you can always find The Buster Man wherever the sunny side of the street is, just like his mama.

This is our bedroom, full of light. I am up by seven and the first thing I do is roll over and look at that Pacific. Mr. Buster is co-chillin', free- rent-calm, lovin' the Sun.

LA is full of art and free, passionate thinkers. It's essence is the idea of America.How strange that the rest of the world has an impression that it is a shallow, heartless place! Irony! Art is everywhere here and along side, the artists who shape what we see. This is a mural under a freeway underpass. I definitely related. Viva LA!

Luck is another word for friggin' hard work.
After searching for MONTHS, we finally found home. We signed a lease on a Malibu pad overlooking the ocean. Here is a photo of the condos themselves from the beach.

Unsuspecting Kevin was also caught unawares in the Ikea, but this time by Mr. Green Snake. I got him loose but never captured the snake.
Hate to say it, but Kev took off through linens, screaming like a scaredy cat.

So there I was, hangin' as I like to do as often as I can in my local Ikea when I was sneak- attacked by Ben. He wanted to be friends but I was like, I ain't no Michael Jackson.

Orsen Wells and Rita Hayworth

This is the mansion originally owned by Rita Hayworth and Orsen Wells. It is nestled in the Laurel Canyon Hills and sits on 6 acres of land that winds up into the mountain. Absolutely fantastic. We were looking at a guest house on the property to rent for 2400.00 dollars. Even the gate leading to the front door was impressive! It felt great to be in the hidden hills and I imagined all the stars that walked around the complex and even stayed in the guest house we were viewing. Viva Hollywood.

This is the guest house for rent on the mansion's estate....there is no ground underneath AT ALL. The front door is anchored to earth and that is it. No central heat, a mini stove but guys- beautiful. The kicker, the actress that lives in the mansion sometimes throws parties and parking is a problem. Since the main reason we are moving to LA is to be closer to friends...it just won't work. We throw parties too! But golly! What a view this place had.

Beautiful LA
