FUN IN LA

Continuing with my whirlwind life, I drove from Tucson to LA last Friday and have been nonstop with people, eating, gabbing, exchanging info, walking, planning.

SCENES FROM MAH FANCY BOOK PARTY!

My friend Lori has a beautiful home and hosted a book party for CONSUMED over the weekend. I got to see a ton of DEAR old friends, and to meet some new people, and to read a passage from the book about one of my favorite activities: walking. (It says quite a bit about my limited abilities that I am still exclaiming, 70 years after the fact, about a skill most humans master by the age of 2).

Every day has been chock full wiith more to come, including–if all goes well–a trip to Dr. Nadjee, DDS, in Beverly Hills (don’t ask).

The Writing Workshop I’m offering in January-February is full. Tomorrow I plan to visit the Getty Museum. Tonight I plan to go to bed early.

In between, I’ve had several chances to duck into St. Andrews in Pasadena, one of my old haunts.

The church is open all day.

Heaven.

(Light) chores at my current place include chicken feeding. That’s right. I give them a large scoop of feed mixed with a pinch of oyster shells, and a bowl of special fermented “mash,” and pray they don’t peck at me. I’m also in charge of a salamander.

    Heather, you looked fabulous at your party!

    What a wonderful gift to be among friends. I have been pondering the “go where you’re wanted” so much these some weeks.

    The part about praying not to be pecked at gives me particular delight.

      So far they have not attacked! Do chickens have ears? I tell them, politely, to step back!

      I have the word doc on my laptop but the piece didn’t have his middle name in it and quickly googling, as I’m sure your friend has, I don’t see anything online either…sorry I couldn’t be of more help, Sheila!
