My sisters and I took a quick trip to Los Angeles to celebrate our cousin Stephen’s marriage to Lauren.
It was so nice to get together for a happy occasion. Lots of laughing and remembering, too.
I wanted to do one super-touristy thing while we were there, so we went to Griffith Observatory on Sunday afternoon. Very cool. If we had many hours, I would have read more of the exhibits. This was just a quick buzz through.
You can see the iconic Hollywood sign from there.
Which means of course you need to try to get it into your picture.
My sister Janelle took this picture of me taking a selfie, sign included.
Sister Sharon knows all the best places for food. We had hand pulled noodles (just a snack!) at Lan Noodle, and then ice cream at Fosselman’s. This was before dinner…
I thought I was going to have time to knit during the weekend, but there was just a lot of chitchat, revelry, and food the whole time. I’d say I didn’t knit a single stitch, but I did give my cousin Sandra a mini brioche lesson. She’s a quick study!
We were in a restaurant, so I cut out the busy unrelated background. Do you know how to do this in the Apple photos app? Long tap the subject, and it it makes a cutout. Save the cutout, and use it elsewhere. Okay!
Wishing Stephen and Lauren unending happiness!

WHAT IS A BOBA TEA ?????
Cold tea (and milk), sweetened to your liking (I picked minimally sweet; I’m sweet enough!) with boba pearls (tapioca balls) in the bottom. Chewy, not very sweet, kinda fun.
Tapioca balls, eh ? What WILL they think of next ?! [grin]
Thank you for sharing these. Full of joy!
So happy!
my husband grew up in Pasadena He loved the observatory and would be glad you visited. Family gatherings with laughter and memories are a treasure.
Stephen’s mom was my Aunt Rose, who taught me to knit. Lots of good memories with this side of the family!
I recognize your beautiful knitware model. What a wonderful family weekend.
That looks like such a lovely weekend! Congratulations to your cousin and his bride!
