It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Happiest of Holidays!

The Christmas cards should be arriving any day.
The packages have all been sent.
The Christmas Tree is adorned with our favorite decorations.
My Christmas candles are burning brightly.
And the stockings are hung on the bookcase with care.

Yep....It's Christmas at the Ranums!







SNOW90210 was last week in downtown Beverly Hills.

We enjoyed our first snowfall in Southern California (ok, it was just soap foam blown from the rooftops, but it looked like snow nonetheless...until you got a 'snowflake' in your mouth - Yuk!)

We saw them light the giant Swarovsky crystal Snowflake above the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

We finally understood Los Angeles' obsession with food trucks! We ate at the Gourmet Grilled Cheese Truck where I had a grilled goat cheese and balsamic sandwich which was unbelievable! And for dessert, a cupcake from Sprinkles. And you'd better bet it was extraordinary at $6 a cupcake!








And yes, that is a naked torso of a woman in the middle of Rodeo Dr. Only here!












Merry Christmas!
Love,
The Ranums
XOXOXOX

Fall has finally arrived...In December

While most people we know are experiencing the frigid taste of winter, it's been pretty dang nice out here in Southern California.
Average temperature has been around 70F, although we did have 2 days of 85F last week.
And fall finally decided to make an appearance. Better late than never!



Bananas! Should be ready for picking in late January

Stay tuned...I'll be posting our Christmas pictures in a couple days. I just had to get the autumn post over before I posted Christmas!
