Morning stroll....

Most mornings, I walk with Blair, my female black lab, up and down Old Town.  Here is the beginning of our one-mile loop. Blair is in front of the Monrovia Public Library...(the city shot fireworks off the roof on the Fourth of July!)  Note the banner in the background honoring Kim Rhode, USA's Skeet Shooting female champion, a resident of this town. She earned consecutive medals in her sport for five straight Olympics.  She was honored last Sunday right here.


SoCal Cottage...

Here are some photos of our one-room studio in Socal, near Pasadena...It's cozy! In back of the charming home of our wonderful landlady. The grounds are immaculate, with green lawns, fig tree, grapefruit, lemon, and orange trees. Hibiscus. Vegetable garden, grape arbour. Very peaceful. Feels like Hawaii !
