Happy Birthday to Sylvia

Visit with Rip was great fun. That Sunday, we went to Barb's for dinner with Bob & Carol (Ted & Alice couldn't make it), Bev & Burt and had really a good time.

The absolute highlight of this week was Sylvia's birthday on Oct. 20. I had managed to find a nice book on Picasso and with some booze, put together a nice package...that with cards from Don & Louise, Lanie and a day-later card from Heather made it a nice day. Not to forget Barb, who took her to lunch at the LA Museum of Art, along with a fine Pizarro/Cezanne exhibit. She loved all of it. And the BB King CD I played, then gave to her.

She moved in with Rick on Monday, out by Friday, back to Dave. Wow, somebody's head is spinning. Meanwhile, Heather & Anders made a $475 g offer on a $500 g house and 2 lots property...hope they get it. It was orginally priced at over $700 gs.

Whew! Rest of the week was fairly ho-hum, tho I passed on going to a Peter Guralnik book signing at the L.A. Library brokered by Rip Spencer. Too late, too busy.
