Ahhh...California. We survived the drive across five states (including that ice storm in Oklahoma) and here we are in La-La Land. My soul sings in this stunning state. I feel cradled by the mountains, nurtured by the palm trees, fed by the sunshine. I won't go on about it too much more, for fear that those of you in sub-zero temps might send me hate mail. I know plenty of folks who love the winter. My brother in law is one of them. He even digs shoveling snow! Go figure. But I feel like my best self here in California. I have wanted to make this my home for about twenty years now, but life had other plans. While I am here I am pretending it's home. The dogs LOVE it. They get to hang out on the balcony and lounge around in shady spots. Ron is enjoying playing the Kodak Theatre, home of the Academy Awards. It's located within a gorgeous outdoor mall and that hubby of mine likes to shop!
I spent the day in Santa Monica. I am getting very into the raw foods thing so I was super excited to check out the very famous Juliano's Restaurant in SM. It is 100% raw and vegan. It was truly one of the best meals of my life. I had "fettuccine alfredo" without an ounce of guilt! The "noodles" were made of zuchinni, sliced uber thin like angel hair and the "alfredo sauce" was made of some kind of puree of macadamia nuts and I'm not sure what other deliciousness...but it was magical. Such a great day.
On a not so great note, please send loving thoughts to my best friend, Susan. She lost her grandma last night. They were very close. Susan is taking her typical sunny view of all things and focusing on the good, but she's also hurting and trying to process it all. I hope you'll send some love her way.
Peace and Sunshine,
Sandra

I watched a teen series called the OC ,the work pushes you forward loving California as a spot of the paradise..
where you dream to live the rest of your life there , but the creator of the work ,who is a young man,managed the story in a way,that showes that it is a hell to raise a child there, i know the drama should be exaggerating the reality a bit, but not deviating it
Ah... California. How I wish I could be there at this very moment. Toronto got hit by at least a foot of snow all through last night and today. I don't even want to think about trying to shovel that stuff tomorrow morning before heading off to school. The atmosphere down in LA is incredible! I can't wait to head down there soon to see my Aunt and Uncle there. =) (a tan line wouldn't hurt to much either heh...) Hope to hear from you soon.=)
I am so relieved to hear you made it to California, safe and sound--I couldn't help but worry with the awful weather reports that were broadcast. We have been thru traveling in nasty weather too--and don't plan on doing it again any too soon! Happy to hear your food is agreeing with you, you are just the best--got that? LOL!
