…Perhaps it’s eating ice-cream on the deck watching the fireworks……..
It’s really all about the bacon!
Then it was time for some silly stuff!
Next year, if you don’t make plans please do come join the party!
I’m so grateful for Mr. Yoshida who came all the way from Santa Monica for me, his only customer on this side of town. He brought the exquisite Juniper back into it’s glorious condition as when Jeffrey tended to it. Mr. Yoshida also worked on the Black Pines and gave me some excellent advise on their care. He’ll be coming back twice a year to make sure everything stays tip top! Thank you Mr. Yoshida!!!
Kita could tell Mary Beth pulled up to take her to the park….oh joy!
Don’t you love this shirt!!!
I was delighted to have Precious Maggie come to the studio to work on a special project!
And super excited to get the new Wolf stovetop! Down with Viking!
Awwwwww………….so happy!
I had a special invitation to see a technical/dress rehearsal of 'Grey Gardens The Musical' at the Ahmanson and Amy was able to join me.
Isn’t this fascinating? All the various directors have their islands of computers set up where the audience would sit for a performance.
When we saw a ballet dress rehearsal at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion it wasn’t nearly as complicated. That was great fun however because the director was speaking in Russian and Amy could interpret for me!
One of the many interruptions….
We had the best seats in the theatre. The first of the special boxes on the side. Lovely Natalie stopped by to say hi.
After that we were really famished so off to Din Tai Fung where we hit it just right and had no wait…..First…Must have Mango Boba!
Work started on the area around the elevator. What a horrible job cutting down and then digging out the roots of the old Bamboo.
And it was so very hot…..
The project is coming along beautifully and next blog I’ll have some wonderful photos to show you. In the meantime, beautiful custom hand made paper just arrived from China and I’m excited to work on it.
Then thanks to Lizzie’s noticing it, one of the most awesome movies ever at the Laemmle! A HBO Documentary ‘The Music of Strangers’ telling how Yo Yo Ma got musicians from all over the world to work together to create new and exciting music. They’re called ‘The Silk Road Ensemble’. It was so heartfelt and I hope everyone sees it. If you don’t catch it at the Laemmle I think you can order it on Netflicks. We needed a lot of Kleenex and a large popcorn!
We all had Whitefish which was delicious as always...
I’m thoroughly disgusted with Viking products as I’ve had to replace the dishwasher, oven and now the stovetop. Note to self: Do due diligence and don’t be impressed by names. Jean at Pirch always takes such extra special good care of me and there’s always a yummy treat waiting.
Something was definitely off as we had to send this hot mess of a Nacho dish back and Nikka’s shrimp went back because we found out a new chef had used brown sugar instead of bread crumbs. The server kept saying brown sugar was in the recipe. Ha! What about the customer is ALWAYS right???
Measuring for the new stovetop….
I think I need a new fridge in the studio as well…What on earth is going on? Is this an appliance meltdown???
Wishing you a sweet week!
