A Day in LA
To continue the mini recap of August, I guess I'll start from the beginning. As I've mentioned before, K took the second week of August to walk from LA to SD, and we started the trip by staying with friends in Silver Lake and celebrating a birthday. They took us to a brilliant Frank Lloyd Wright house and to Griffith Observatory one day, which was lovely. I snapped only a few pictures.

Hello Again
Wow, Southern California has really taken this "we only have one season" thing seriously and just skipped summer all together. I kept waiting for August to change it all around, but, alas, it wasn't meant to be, and here is September to usher in fall.
Despite all the indoor weather, I haven't been in the blogging spirit. But there is much to discuss. I'll start with the new place, which I'm loving. It is just right in so many ways, and although I'm getting used to living with another person again, it's not roommate-y in the sense that we know all each other's signs and cues and we do things like buy furniture together. I've snapped a few photos with my phone of recent purchases:
This is a poor angle, but I had just finished getting it out of the box and putting the legs on, and it's the only picture I've taken of it so far.
This is the factory photo:
The other day K and I went to Old Town Temecula to see his dad play Lazar Wolf in Fiddler on the Roof. Anyway, I was very pleased to discover the amazing antique shops and did a little shopping before the show. We put this in the kitchen, and I'm loving the color set against the black and white floor. (pardon the graininess of the phone photo)
And finally, my favorite piece, this dresser, which K saved from the blasphemous fate of being painted (!?) by the thrift store owner who found it. He bought it just in time and took it home to sand and refinish. I think he did a beautiful job!
Anyway, more updates as the place develops, and I'll post some pictures from my (amazing!) Oregon trip as well. For now though, life beckons...
