Happy Festivus!

Destruction in the BBV

Destruction in the BBV. That storm last monday ripped the awning off the old Crowley place. We almost lost ours too. All 4 posts were broken out of the cement and that giant awning of ours was flapping in the wind. Luckily our landlords cemented it back down before the storm came back yesterday.

Look at that nosy guy peeping out from next door!

What an angel

Angel Food Cake

Step 1:
Light your own birthday candles.

Step 2
Eat the cake. mmmmm.

Step 3: Leave some for breakfast.

Ben turns 30 (FINALLY!)

It's a multi-park party, and even some people from outside the park (not allowed) but we broke the rules for Ben's big day.

Jay Cain rocking on the guitar. Ben looks pretty happy about the whole thing.

Bad Dog

Once again we have a major infraction of the park rules, mouse in the common area sitting in the sun. This is a major no-no and as you can see she is causing a lot of harm. Hopefully nobody saw her and complained.

Good thing she's not drinking a beer in the common area too. Then we'd really be in trouble.

Trailer garden

This year we had tomatoes (LOTS!), basil, wine grapes, arugula, and hops. They smell like an IPA when you crush them between your fingers. Yum!

Did I mention we live in a trailer? You don't get that kind of bounty from the little balcony of your condo do you?

Surf Check

This is the life! Friendly neighbor Bubba (from the Wee Mobile Home Park) swung by and picked me up in my PJs and slippers for a surf check in the cart with the fringe on top. Also aboard were little Rose and the baddest dog in town, Lucy.

I'm sure we're breaking some rule or another...

Get together in the BBV

Yes, we had a get together for Halloween. Hopefully nobody saw these outsiders come into the park (one of them even brought his dog but we won't name names). And if they did see, hopefully they won't tattle.

We were also drinking beer so as soon as we set foot on the driveway we broke another rule.

NO intoxication in the BBV.

Twice the fun!

Holy Cannoli! Two park rule infractions in one photo.

Skateboarding AND a loose dog. Mind you cats are aloud to run free and crap anywhere they please, but not those horrible dogs.

Icky dogs and kids!

Spider Webs

Sorry folks, no mannequins this year. For the first time in 3 years, there will be no mannequins in Halloween costumes to make you laugh as you pass by. Certain neighbors (or should I say "neighbor") don't approve of such "freakish" things in our fine community. So I hope some nice pictures of spider webs will suffice for a pre-Halloween post.

Here is a pic from back when we used to be able to have a little fun around here.

Another stellar parallel parking job

Another stellar parallel parking job by our neighbor Sharon.

This probably took her 1/2 hour to get right.

She does try, but parking is not her forte.

Thanks kid

Mitch came by tonight to give me a ziploc bag full of serrano chilies. He said he bit into one and he screamed, so he thought I might want them. Thanks kid. Then he told me they'd make my head fall off.

He made up for it by coming back 2 minutes later with a bag full of candy corn for me. That's more like it.

This kid is going to be a great surfer some day.

P.S. Notice the footwear...
