Robin, when we first moved to Florida we were down south, where it is hot and humid year round. Up here on the northeast coast, we actually have a little bit of a variation - mostly hot and humid, but a few weeks of actual spring and a very short winter that is usually in the 60s, but that has been know to throw a few freezing nights our way. Today, it's 84 degrees.

I was raised in Manhattan, spent a couple of years in London, and lived in L.A. longer than I have ever lived anywhere, so I consider it "home" - at least it's the place I'm so homesick for it hurts sometimes! Can you imagine? Homesick for traffic and Valley girls!

That means April 1, 2012 I get to de garage my favorite toy







Peace,
DLM

Oooh. That looks mighty fine, DLM.

I was lived in the San Fernando Valley right before Valley Girls came into being in a big way. I left in 1975. I lived in Granada Hills during my childhood and in Sepulveda as a teenager. Fun times!

I have fond memories of those L.A. summers. Do you remember Marianne Faithful's "Summer Nights"? Ahhh, I played that song and dreamed of love until the little record became too scratched to play.
