Memorial Day 2012

I am in my "Rosy the Riveter" costume at a dance performance for veterans in Maine.  It is at the "USO/USA" show for the National Veterans Golden Games in 2003. 

Forty and Fabulous

THE GROUP celebrated forty years supporting the Otis College of Art and Design. Three hundred students have been aided through our scholarship donations.  

The party, helping students achieve their dreams and enriching our lives, was May 23 at the Riviera Country Club in the Pacific Palisades.  

"The Best Hamburger he had ever tasted"

The waiter at Savory Restaurant in Malibu said the Wolfmother Burger was "the best he had ever tasted."

(Arugula grown down the road, unbelievable carmelized onions, brie melted on the rib eye...)

"The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel"

You won't have to jump on a plane to experience India.  Simply see "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel."  

The hotel in the story is advertised in England "for the elderly and beautiful."  Actually, the newly-arrived retirees are in for an unexpected invasion of the senses.  And, yes, you the movie goer will be bombarded with the noise, color and confusion.  Beautifully made, with great sensitivity, this film will not disappoint. 

A Tree Blooms in Camarillo

As a girl I would surprise neighbors by leaving a hand-picked bouquet on their porch to celebrate May 1.  This flowering tree is one I have noticed every year in Camarillo, California, near the same time.
