This past Saturday, I had a great time with some friends at the Ojai Classic Rock and Reggae Festival. It took place at the Libbey Bowl, as do most great events here, and it was filled with good music, great vibes and some fun people. Well, make that some rather funky people. I think these [...]
Alright, I admit it. I’m a sucker for the 4th of July. I simply love all of the excitement, energy and fun that surrounds the holiday. Sure I love America. But I don’t usually get all sappy about it. The 4th of July, however, brings out that sap in me. And this year was no [...]
My brother has arrived…and so has the noise! Wow, I didn’t realize just how noisy two cute kids could be. Nevertheless, we are enjoying ourselves a great deal. I have to laugh, since I created an air-tight schedule of events for the time that my brother is in town…but then so many interesting things have [...]
My brother is coming for a visit to Ojai (I’ve been lobbying for this for quite awhile!) and I’m running around like a maniac trying to figure out what we should do. He’s a successful lawyer in Arizona (don’t ask how he ended up there) with two adorable little kids. So, I’m taking a week [...]
This weekend I had an amazing time at Libbey Park. And it wasn’t because I was dragging Bernie around as he checked out every female dog in the vicinity. I actually left Bernie home this time, and went to Libbey to check out the art in the park scene. This was, according to the flyers [...]
No, this is not a match-making site. And no, mom, I haven’t yet met the man of my dreams. Rather, this week I took Bernie, my beautiful new dog, to check out Libbey Park. I love Libbey Park because it’s like an oasis right in the middle of the city. It has terrific playgrounds for [...]
I’ve certainly blogged enough about how much I love food. I’m particularly fond of good desserts and I enjoy making them myself as much as I do going out for a night-cap and some great dessert. So, after a very busy week at Weil Tennis Academy, I decided that I needed a night on the [...]
No, mom, I haven’t met the man of my dreams. Sorry to disappoint. Geez…. Rather, I’ve met…well…how shall I put this? The dog of my dreams! So, one of my friends here in Ojai had to move back to the East Coast (have fun with those winters!) and she asked me if I wanted her [...]
I’ve been trying to get myself to wake up early each morning and to enjoy the fresh air before work. As you probably know already, I’m not a morning person, which makes it very difficult for me to confront the day before 10 or 11 in the morning. But, as I can hear my mom [...]
I’m a Minnesota girl at heart, so it’s still so hard for me to believe that it’s winter each year here in California. I mean, come on! I’m still wearing shorts some days, and we are out on the courts playing tennis for hours at a time without frost bite. It’s like a dream come [...]
