Roses From The Front Yard
A couple of days ago mom chastised me for not cutting my long stem roses off of my rose bushes and bringing them in the house. (they were getting way out of control)
Yesterday, I cut them and put them in the vase by my bed. 24 hours later and they are now opening up and they smell sooooo good. Thanks for the push mom.
PS I followed grandmas Rose cutting guidelines to the "t"

Friday Night In Chinatown
Tonight we decided to take the train down to Old Town Pasadena and on the way we decided that we would pass Old Town and keep on going. This begged the question, Olvera Street or China Town? Since we have never been to China Town we decided to try it. The kids had fun and we had a great dinner at Hop Louie. Yelp reviews are just so-so but we had a great meal and I'm sure we'll be back down there some other time.

Don't Call 911
Last week I was in room 911 in Orange County and tonight I am in room 911 in Sacramento. Weird.

Parking Permits In Pasadena
If you couldn't figure out what this was all about we have decided to put in a swimming pool. One of the inconveniences of this project is that we have to move Ravey (our RV has recently been named Ravey by Sydney) onto the street so that the workers can get themselves and their equipment easily into the backyard. Mom always complains that the City of Pasadena is always trying anything they can to get money out of you and I have found parking permits to be no exception.
When David was out of town last week I decided I didn't want to pull Ravey in and out of the driveway every night so I simply got a parking permit for 3 days. Note that the parking permits can be obtained for longer than 3 days and when picking up a permit you pick how many days you want it for and then place it inside the vehicle dashboard. It states the vehicle license number on the permit and the day of expiration.
We were within the time frames indicated on the parking permit and we received the following notice on Ravey: The vehicle appeared to be abandoned and we were in violation of a city ordinance. If the vehicle remained parked at the location for 72 hours it would be towed at our expense. If we didn't claim the vehicle in 15 days it would be sold. So you can buy parking passes for longer than 3 days but if you use it the city will determine your vehicle has been abandoned.
