Friends: Old and New

I'm off tomorrow morning (6:30 a.m.) for a visit with my dear friend, Sarah, and her husband, John. Sarah and I met as freshmen in college in 1973; we've been fast friends ever since. She moved to Venice Beach, California when she married the love of her life, John. For our 50th birthdays, Sarah and I spent a week in Mazatlan, Mexico and it was the best vacation that I've ever had.

I'll be in Venice Beach until January 7. An added perk to this trip is that my blogami, Marc (Le Trash Whisperer) lives in LA and I will get to meet him face to face; he's going to join us for New Year's Eve!

I plan to take tons of pictures and behave totally like a tourist. I'll share when I return home.

Happy New Year to Everyone!

Oh, how fun how fun, and how fun, time with Sarah, John, and MARC!

And, I LOVE your rocking lady Santa, so I had to mark this as "funny." Happy new year, Sheria. I know some of 2008 has been difficult, but I hope it's going more okay than not.

Old and new sounds like your going to have a great time. It is nice to have and see old friends. Enjoy your holiday and have a Happy New Year! Sounds like you made a nice heart warming Christmas for your family. I am sure your Mother was looking down with a smile upon her face quite proud.

Hope you have a very good time! And take lots of interesting photos. My son Raymond is in LA and blogging, so I am keeping up with L.A. (Cowboys and Bohemians) I have you on my sidebar blog list now as I want to get your take for sure as the new president takes office. I enjoy your political commentary.
