Our last night in Salida. Todd and I had another big day.  Early wakeup call but we accomplished more in one day then I probably do all week back in California!  We held the last day of the moving sale, deciding to get more people to see the items we moved the remainder of items [...]

Todd and I are in Salida. This is our 2nd night now, the weather has been cool, a bit hot/cold, rainy not rainy. NOT that we’ve had anytime to relax and enjoy… We landed in Denver airport, picked up the rental car and drove 3 hours to Salida. The landscape and scenery is so mind [...]

Last Thursday (5/14) I held my first west coast trunk show for CLEEO Collection. Goat Boutique in Costa Mesa held the event. We had quite a few fashionistas show up to sip champagne, browse the racks and try on jewels by Cleeo.  A friend and photographer, Heather Vallentyne was able to help me out by [...]

We’re fine! But last night we were rocked by what seemed like an huge oversize semi zipping down our street. Only it wasn’t, it was an earthquake, 4.7 to be exact out of Hawthorne, CA. It only lasted a few seconds.. Todd & I were watching T.V with a friend after finishing up [...]

I just spoke to both my father and aunt Eleanor. Today they were productive in running errands and meeting with a radiation doctor in Sarasota, Dr. Patrice (he treated my father years ago).
The good news is radiation is scheduled to begin in a few weeks. 5 days a week for 3 weeks= 15 sessions. Transportation [...]

Todd and I just booked our plane tickets to Colorado. We leave Orange County, CA on Thursday May 28th and fly direct to Denver, CO. From Denver we will rent a car and drive about 3 hours to Salida.  Our plan is to hold one last moving sale for Fred and pack up all his [...]

I spoke to my dad today, he seems to be in good spirits. Eleanor (my aunt) his sister flew in to Sarsota (from Wisconsin) for about a week to visit and surprise my grandmother, Adele.
Boy was she surprised! she didn’t even recognize her…(that’s how great Eleanor looks!) I’m waiting to get photos of all of [...]
