I love this little yellow house across from the Peach Café. It’s perfect for children’s things!

I swear next time I go to the street fair I’m going to get a temporary tattoo. I love tattoos but don’t have any because I change my mind quite often as to what I like, so I can’t commit to it.
I know that in the next year a company is coming out with a type of tattoo ink that is encapsulated in these tiny beads that will self-destruct when put under a laser, and the ink is absorbable by your body. This is definitely the kind of tattoo for me!
Until then, though, I may end up standing in this line for some temporary body art.
OPEN THREAD: How should I spend my birthday?
Posted October 26, 2007
in Discussion
Ok. I know it’s tacky, but I’m announcing that yes, today is my birthday. Money is a bit tight, and I’ve decided to stay in Monrovia. What should I do? What would you do if you were going to stay in Monrovia and it was your birthday? Who can guess what I have planned? Hint: It costs less than $50.

The last few days we in Monrovia have been admonished to stay inside. I have done so, for the most part, but would step outside periodically just to see what was happening.
I have been watching the fires off and on for days, and feel the sadness and the devastating power of nature unleashed. At first, when my black poodle came in with white specs on him, I didn’t know what it was, but then it sunk in that I was seeing ash that had been carried for miles on the wind from one of the many fires that continue to range on our landscape. This might be part of someone’s home, I think.
I feel grateful that I am not in immediate danger, however, I know that our local hills are as much of a dry tinderbox as the areas that are currently burning. So if you are thinking of taking a hike, think again, as the local hiking trails are temporarily closed, as noted by the Monrovia Weekly:
A severe fire danger exists in local hillside areas. Monrovia Canyon Park and Chantry Flat Road have been closed to visitors. Bailey Canyon and Mt. Wilson Trail are also closed.
Local firefighters and police officers are patrolling hillside neighborhoods. All fire personnel have been recalled to duty and the Department is at full staffing.

The Dollmakers

The other day I was walking my Standard Poodle, Theo, past the Dollmakers and he looked very startled and backed up a little after spotting their full sized stuffed dog in the window! I reassured him that it was okay, but I don’t think he was entirely convinced.
The other odd thing about this shop is that many years ago, my father had a telephone that was registered to this address, but I didn’t find the phone statement until it was too late to ask him. This was in the early 80s, when the family lived in Newport Beach. A little mystery that may never be solved…

I’m not sure what it is about little girls and horses, but everytime I see the pony ride I want to be small again!
