Happy Halloween from The Teletubbies

Pet pictures

Here are some pictures of my best four legged buddies, Abigail, our Manx cat and the dog, Charles Barkley aka Charley Barley. They love each other and provide each other with amusement and in the case of the cat, much annoyance too! Best to you and your loved ones with wet noses and warm fur.


Abigail and Charley napping together.





Abigail loves her little brother and newest toy, Charley.



Abigail says, "Talk to the tush".

Halloween Dog Parade participant

600 dogs participated in the Long Beach Dog Halloween Costume Parade last weekend. I just love this little fella with his chariot complete with Ken doll.

Please check out Lalist for more cute dogs in embarrassing costumes. Thank you!

Perfecto Momento Monday - Pumpkin Patch

Hello on a Monday and hoping it's a perfect day for you and yours.
I incorrectly typed out Perfecto and I went with it because I like how it sounds. Plus, I am very fond of slang for some reason...
We took the boys to Lombardi Ranch to pick out pumpkins yesterday. It was a beautiful Sunday and I just enjoyed our time together. I hope you like the pictures, you can tell the weather is just awful here is SoCal. Just kidding, the weather is so freaking nice here, it's Boring. Thank you for stopping by, I appreciate it.

Crazy World

Hello and I hope you are doing well. It's been weird here the last couple days where I find myself wondering about human nature and the meaning of it all. A couple of things have triggered this including a pipe bomb was found at a city park 4 miles from our home. This is a park where the boys have played soccer. Unbelievable but I have to believe it. I am so thankful no one was hurt, not the city maintenance worker who found the bomb or the Sheriffs who responded and detonated the bomb safely.

I am also so saddened by the senseless, preventable suicide of a 14 y/o boy who was bullied at an area high school. What a nightmare, my heart breaks for his family and friends and I want them to know they are not alone. My husband and I are going to talk to our sons about this to help them understand. Suicide is among the top 5 causes of death among boys aged 11 to 24 years old. What a crazy, f'ing world we live in.

I am going to hug my children, treat my family and friends, (neighbors and strangers too), with a fierce love that belies all the hatred and vitriol in the world. Thank you.

More Halloween Haunt Pictures from Hart Park

Halloween Haunts at Hart Park

My cousin and I enjoyed our hike at Hart Park, not only for the fresh air, exercise, and visiting the Bison herd (I will post pictures about them soon), we also got to see the great Frights from the Haunt Festival held last weekend. In the land of underemployed set decorators, holiday decorations can get waaay over the top here. I have a neighbor who belongs to CalHaunts and his house is worthy of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland! I hope you enjoy and that you have fun getting ready for Halloween too!
