CA Adventure Update

Okay, enough of this not-posting nonsense.  Time for an update! Here are some images from select adventures over the past few weeks.

To start off, my dear friend, Megan, took me up Mulholland Drive.  We thoroughly enjoyed walking around the scenic viewpoints!

LA is barely visible through all that smog!

Love those light green eyes!

Megan makes me laugh a lot

Nice view of the freeway here:

We left Mulholland Drive for a quick hike up Runyon Canyon.  Here’s a before and after of my level of complacency…those snake signs strike such fear into my heart!

I’ve been very fortunate to spend a lot of time with friends.  There have been many events to attend!  Life has been busy but quite fulfilling.  Here’s chef Jeff cooking one of the 12 pizzas he made for Pizza Night:

Jennie and Jeff host Pizza Night at their apartment every once in awhile, and let me tell you, it is an amazing production.  They had a full chart on their white board of pizzas and toppings – here’s one of their delicious creations, pre-oven!

My friends love to cook, and they’ve already taught me so much.  My friend Corelyn recently had a birthday, and so Becca and I teamed up to make some of her culinary requests.  The first was Mystery Rolls from the Pioneer Woman…aka buttery, cheesy balls full of carbs.  YUM.

Corelyn informed us that her favorite dessert is tiramisu, so Rebecca and I took this as a fun challenge.  It was a massive success!

Rebecca also made a Happy CORELYN Birthday funfetti cake!  Andrew, Jennie, and Corelyn are on the right, about to tackle it:

In other updates, Rebecca and I both lost our dear coffee makers within a week of each other.  We left them lying on the table broken for weeks before finally saying goodbye.  It was tragic, but necessary.

George and I decided to spend President’s Day in Santa Monica.  We found some great shops and cafes, but my favorite part of the day was when we went down to the beach. Here are a few shots from our stroll:

So there you have it.  I hope everyone has a lovely Thursday – it’s nearly the weekend!
