Ben and I are back from Seattle now and here I am sitting on the window
sill in his painting studio, and guess what? I have a Valentine! She is
a cupid, like a little girl with wings and she needs those wings because
you can see how high off the ground we are on this window ledge. That
red ribbon used to be around a box of chocolates that I bought for my
valentine but she, well we, ate them all up…and another guess what? Ben, Harrison’s artist friend, is having a show of his paintings in
Los Angeles in two weeks
and he said, because I was so good on the trip to Portland Oregon and
Seattle Washington, that I could go with him to Los Angeles! How cool is
that?! He says that =most people just call the city “L A” and that you
have to drive everywhere because the city is so big. Ben says that Los
Angeles is another city on the Pacific Ocean in the state of
California. Also he says that it is about 600 miles south of Portland
Oregon…that is a long way south, almost to Mexico which is an entirely
different country! So we leave on March first and will be there
almost a week. Ben says that my outfit of short pants and a tee shirt is
perfect for Los Angeles because it is so warm there. Maybe we will go to
the beach! So, news from LA in a few weeks!
