Tommy & Sean set up an 'art gallery' (spread out on the dining table) to show off their portfolios-- here are pics of two of my faves, T's "Attack of the Eagles R" (R refers to the rating), and S's painting/collage w/felt and yarn.

Letting Go
I have become obsessed with selling off my excess. Today's errands include the Post Office: mail air conditioner to amazon buyer 345662. No need for an AC in Venice, thank you, coastal winds. Mail 10-pound Shakespeare College Textbook to amazon buyer 582614. 10 lbs and 10 years of lugging that thing around 5 homes, 4 cities and 3000 miles in pure protest to the obscenely low return the college offered for an obscenely expensive book.
It feels good letting go.
My latest project is preparing to sell off Nancy and Peter's home room-by-room in Beverly Hills. Walking through the house, each picture flashed fragments of conversations over the emotional extremes of the short 2 years. I remember sitting around the firepit with Nancy and Peter when I moved here, awe-inspired looking out over the canyon, talking about how excited we all were to be together in Los Angeles. I remember sitting at that same table with Angela and Nancy months later where words were hard to come by as we thought about life without Peter. and now...all that's left is thinking about how to photoshop everything clean and make it easier to move on.
It's hard letting go.
Tomorrow's Errands include finding less functional ways of using my camera.

A death march, a dog hotel, and a mini-horse.
About a month ago Gati (guth-ee), Mr. Finn, and I went upstate to escape the city for a few days. We stayed at the #1 dog-friendly bed and breakfast. Normally, I find bed and breakfasts annoying because of the idle chatter over breakfast. But with fellow dog-owners we had a lot to chat about. We all went for a quick hike which quickly turned into a four hour "where the hell are we" hike. And lastly, we met a mini-horse named Sparkles. All-in-all a great weekend. -Andrew

Mike & Amanda's Garden: Before and After
I thought I'd share a quick post of our garden to get the ball rolling. As you may know, our new home needed a lot of work, and thanks to Mike's renovation knowledge and my secret (or not so secret) desire to be Martha Stewart, things are starting to look better - much better! For example, the yard as seen in the below picture, has been completely redone for obvious reasons. We have planted vegetable gardens, fruit trees, and perennial flowers. It's a lot of work, but rewarding. Looking forward to seeing your posts! - Amanda
