Life in LA, Again
Posted June 04, 2011 by
I am practically tearful with happiness as I report that I officially live in Los Angeles again. We rolled into town around 1:30 yesterday, after a harrowing last hour on the LA freeways (which almost made Greg want to turn around and head back to Chicago, but which actually made me teary with glee to be back in my beloved city.)
We arrived at my friend Abby’s house and were greeted by her mother and by the most thoughtful welcome basket dropped off by my friends Lien and Liz. For those of you who don’t know, we’re house-sitting for three months in Topanga Canyon while my friend Abby and her family are working in Europe. Our biggest problem now is how we’re ever going to leave! This house is just too nice — up on a mountain with a big backyard, 4 bedrooms and beautiful hiking trails right out the front door.
Okay, a lot more soon. We’re headed to Venice and my old haunting grounds shortly. For now here’s a photo of me and Greg in Black Dragon Canyon, Utah.

Yay, you made it! Welcome home. I LOVE Topanga Canyon. Make sure you hit up Hidden Treasures if you haven’t already. It’s the coolest vintage shop I’ve ever been in. Oh, and you’re so close Abuelitas Mexican restaurant – yum! So glad to hear you guys made it safely.
