Trees get a trim

It's that time of year when the palm trees get their annual haircut. Here are the 'before' and 'after' pictures. Our nephew Nat used to call palm trees 'hairy trees' when he was about 4 or 5 visiting us in North Hollywood. Now he's 18 and all grown up doing dangerous things on skateboards or scooters! In fact he is featured in Scoot Nation Magazine, scoot-nation.com. Who knew???? Anyway, there he is, page 82,  Nat Barber. We are SOOO proud!!!!!!

We had a lovely afternoon yesterday. Mike and John dropped by as did Dennis, AJ and Peter. AJ back from his visit to New Orleans to visit family and give his niece away at her wedding. Peter back fresh from his visit to HM Queen Elizabeth. Welcome home both of you. We are looking forward to our little getaway towards the end of July. Guernville for 7 nights, San Francisco for 3 nights taking in Dore Alley as participants, no booth this year (or ever again). There are always things and places we love to visit when in San Francisco. We have told so many of our guests from SF that we will be in Twin Peaks at 11am Saturday morning for cocktails. We know for definate that Jim and Terry will be there, as will  Dick K.
Two bloody Mary's and then on to Blue for their famous Mac and  Blue Cheese, hop on a street car and head towards the Embarcadero for a mooch around the farmers market. Dinner Friday night at the Indian Garden resaturant on Folsom ... yum, can't wait!!!!! Not to mention the sights at Dore on Sunday!!!!!
