Great Party times!!!!

We are having a great time here in Palm Springs. Our friend Jim from Minneapolis is here for the 9th year. Wonderful weather up in the late 80's. Mike and John were here for the afternoon. We are planning a Pot Luck for Thursday. Jim will do his famous stuffed mushrooms and mini Ruebens. I think ribs were mentioned somewhere. We are expecting Tony  but there again, he calls and never turns up these days. We'll see.

Jim and I drove into North Hollywood yesterday. Met with John & Angela at their gorgeous West Toluca Lake estate, went to my place of work, W.M. Creations in NoHo and then on to the house on Radford Avenue. Unfortunately we missed a few people along the way ie John, Matthew, Jackie and Tommy. We then went to the Eclectic Wine Bar & Grill on Lankershim Blvd, the site of many a L O N G champagne brunch. I won't mention getting a bit lost trying to find Bob Hopes's house!!!!
A lovely day.

A Rip-Roaring Sucess

It was a great party for the send off of LOBOC last night. There were 60 people here for the catered dinner (catering by Leon's), and there was room for a few more. Now we know how many we can seat for any further events.

A sad event nevertheless. Friends who have know each other for years, meeting regularly, coming to Chaps Inn since 2001 except 2011 & 2012.

LOBOC

It looks like being a beautiful weekend for LOBOC thank goodness. No rain forecast, 84 today and up near the 90's over the weekend. There have been times in previous years when it has rained buckets and the run was cancelled. I don't think there is a run scheduled for this year. and no rain!

We're looking forward to it. Al & Gary arrived today. It might be a bit chaotic but we'll cope as usual!!

This year is the final Hurrah for LOBOC. The last and final gathering.

Season Started.

What a beautiful weekend for those who don't follow the Palm Springs weather. 85f approx 30c today, clear blue skies, no wind. Perfect.

We have Don back from Toronto, return visitors from Atlanta GA, Los Angeles, and our international guests from Germany. Guests in all week, so busy, busy, busy.
