Fall Update

Labor Day weekend has passed and that can only mean one thing. (Okay maybe two things).

School has started and I'm back taking a class at Cal State Long Beach and Huntington Beach will finally get back to "normal" after a busy summer tourist season.

Limo Man and I are looking forward to a couple of things coming up in October: Our pals Janice and Dean are coming down to celebrate Dean's 60th birthday. They'll be here for a few days so it will be so much fun to see them and spend some time with them. Then we'll be going to Oakdale to meet the newest member of the family, our first grand nephew, Border Marion Rath. It will also be the first time we get to check out Tyler and Marjean's new digs! We can't wait!

Oops, maybe I shouldn't have let the cat out of the bag about our trip to Oakdale. If the "Big man" finds out we may have to wrestle him to hold the baby. The "Bigman" loves the babies! And why not? He's got a third grandie on the way! We're so excited for all of them!

Walkin' in HB


This little beauty takes up one entire corner lot.









This is a little convenience store that has a beach mural painted on it's side.

This stone beauty was recently completed.

An unusual style with a clock above and an indian statue below.

Here's your basic "beach house". The porch looks so cozy!

I have recently started walking around Huntington with my IPod blaring. I can't believe that it took me almost a year to take the silly thing out of the box and learn how to use it. Right now I am downloading the best of the Matchbox 20 "Exile in America" tour. Limo Man and I went to see Matchbox 20 at the Pacific Amphitheater at the end of July. We had great seats and with the package that we bought we also got the entire "best of" downloads of the tour. Needless to say it was a great concert and Rob Thomas is so awesome!

Anyways, one recent Saturday when Limo Man was out driving I decided to take a walk and take come pics of some interesting homes in the neighborhood. Some of the pictures may not be that great but hey, I don't claim to a photographer. It's interesting to see the different architectural styles in this city by the beach.
