Well, many of you know I have stopped following sports due to the entitled speeches from players and talking heads.... The TV has been shut off as well. Diane,  insisted on me turning on the TV since across the street our neighbors and us used to have a Red Sox & Dodger rivalry. She also asked me to put out my Red Sox Flag.Now keep in mind Friday and Saturday the Dodgers beat the Red Sox here in Los Angeles.Hence tonight was about getting broomed or not. I do not have the picture of the neighbor's flag nor his wife using the broom as he did a video of her. It is all on Diane's phone and it is OK for it to stay there, with that said you get the idea what happened:)p.s.: George Souto will appreciate the three day results:))) Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to yo...

Just for fun: Pets are curious and unpredictable... Diane went out to lunch with friends. Not the closest place to us, it was halfway between Los Angeles and Bakersfield.Now with that said, one of her friends, from Bakersfield gave her a small "cat house" we were wondering what the reaction would be from Jill and Wiley.Needless to say, we were wondering if we need to donate the new gift to a Rescue Organization if ours would not like it. Well clearly, we were wrong. Jill after an hour or so checked it out and claimed it as her own. Even took a nap in it.I mentioned to Diane that Wiley will check it out later in the night. Well, he could not wait till late into the night, he had to check it out before. Diane and I were joking it is too small for him.Clearly it was a great gift, and the c...

Thank you, Katina Hargrove 352-551-0308 , for introducing me to The Mount Dora Olive Oil Co. Tonight, I decided to make an easy meal and thought how fun it would be to try the olive oil with one of my favorite breads from Trader Joe's.Needless to say, the Olive Oil was fantastic, and this post now focused on the oil and not my meal. The meal was secondary.I said to Diane to make sure you try to bread and dip it in the oil before you taste my meal. Well, she did, and the rest is history. We loved the smell and the incredible flavor of the Extra Virgin Olive Oil. tomorrow I am ordering a bottle or two full sized. Clearly worth the money.Katina on a side note no need for you to drive and have a hassle trying to park. Just order online like I do well worth the shipping charge, which was not...

What to write? A market report about Los Angeles real estate? I was debating with myself, should I write a Market Report, like John Pusa or Jeff Dowler, CRS do on a consistent basis? Or should I just post a fun picture of what I had the other day at a Wolfgang Puck Restaurant on the Sunset Strip, in West Hollywood, CA.Well clearly those of you who know me well, I opted to do a photo. Some of you might wonder why on earth would I eat a burger and fries at a Wolfgang Puck Restaurant? The answer is easy, I make many of his complicated recipes, which I have eaten over the years in his restaurants, but I do not make a Burger. Hence the Burger won out.Anyway, if you are not familiar with Wolfgang Puck, please google him and you will realize he is a Los Angeles Gourmet Chef or should I say a...

Thankful Thursdays: We are so grateful our Central A/C is finally done. Today the technician came back and made sure that the Heating part of the system became functional. The other two guys who came cleaned &vacuumed the ducts. Now we are just waiting for two inspections one of which is the HERS Inspection, and the other is the inspection from the city, that everything was done to code.The difficult part is over, being on standby from 7am to usually 4 pm until they would call it a day or should I say quit for the day.All in all we were very pleased with the workers. Two days remove and install the new equipment by two guys. Then the third day two other guys cleaning the ducts. Of course, a third technician who fixed the heating issues.So, with that said we had the A/C running two days ...

Have you replaced an old Central A/C? well we are in the middle of the process. Today was pretty much removing the old equipment and bringing in the new equipment.Sounds simple, but it is very challenging, when you have an opening that is basically the size of the old equipment 28 by 28 inches and then you bring in the new equipment and same story.Lucky for us we had two great installers who spent all morning and afternoon making this happen. As you can see the old tray was pretty much rusted out and was time for it to go.Tomorrow will be the connecting of the new equipment. Today was relatively cooler than the past five days, but tomorrow it will be warming up a bit, hopefully they can get it done before they get too uncomfortable in the attic.This drama is to be continued, stay tuned....

Many years ago, we got this dog cage, for our Schmoie since we did not want to have drama with him and the cats.Well as time went on, Holly our latest addition had no interest in going into the cage. Instead, she decided to sleep with us and the cats.Now with that said check out who rules the house in this household. Jill decided she can go in here any time she wants to because she rules the house. Like Schmoie did years ago. Yes just to be clear Jill rules the house.

Market Snapshot comparisons between 90210 & 90045 zip codes... this post was inspired by the questions I received over the past few months. What is the Beverly Hills real estate market like, compared to where you live? Where do you live? Well, I live in Westchester also known as LAX adjacent (Los Angeles International Airport)So, with that said I chose to compare last month between the two totally different markets based on price points and location. Needless to say, I also thought it would be a nice touch to compare year over year of the two locations by month.Depending on your budget both areas are a great place to call home. I have called Westchester home for the past ten years to give you an idea.Needless to say, here are only a few statistics, if you are interested in more details,...

Throwback Thursdays: going through another one of my mother's sketchbooks. As I write this post all quiet at home the animals and Diane are sleeping. Outside the neighborhood sounds like a war zone. Happy Fourth of July to everyone. Too bad I only saw about eight flags displayed in a three-block radius from our home. Anyway, now with that said, check out these sketches I found.I never knew my mother also painted animals. I wonder what inspired her? Anyway, hope you enjoy these is my second post about my mom's sketches.I have many more to share down the road. In the meantime wishing you a relaxing weekend.

As we welcome July, we also welcome in the second half of 2024. The first half of the year is already behind us. Of course, one of the most significant days in American history is on Thursday, July 4. It is America's birthday, commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.Most patriotic American citizens celebrate America’s birthday with festivals, parades, fireworks and barbecues to name a few. Having pets is just one reason I am not a fan of fireworks, along with fire hazards, people suffering from PTSD, wildlife stress, and other dangers; yet there are some who have already begun setting off fireworks but not putting out the American Flag. I'm all for the controlled and professional displays, such as the ones in Marina Del Rey. If you do have pets, please ...

A new shipment just arrived: the kitchen has been resupplied... I have always been a firm believer, that better the ingredients are the better the food will taste on the table. Yes, this is the voice of experience speaking. I learned this over three decades ago and I have been proving it every time someone came over for dinner. The message is consistently the same: Wow your food tastes so much better then when I make it. Why??The reason is because of the quality ingredients. I get most of my pasta from Italy and I wish I did that decades ago. It makes a huge difference in the flavors. Now with that said check out the shipment, all gourmet quality ingredients, mushrooms as well as pasta. I was running low and needed to resupply. Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to y...
