First photo outside of Father’s Office, Paul, Erika, and Sean

Talk about R&R from yesterday’s post...Today on a happy and fun Sunday in LA (of course it was happy and fun after I got over the fact that Lulu - the great dane - ate my entire strawberry and cheese farmer’s market croissant right off the counter, for breakfast this morning), we spent the afternoon celebrating Paul’s birthday!! Just to fill you in, Paul is also part of the "my oh so kind neighbor" contingent. He is "my oh so kind neighbor" Erika’s "oh so kind" man.
I’ve decided that R&R doesn’t get any better than going to Father’s Office in Santa Monica with friends, family, celebrating birthdays, trying one of their 100 beers and oh my gosh that burger, to die for, not to mention the sweet potato fries. Life is good when you love your neighbors. Happy Birthday Paul! (who just had a divine article published on the front page of the LA times Home section this past Thursday...I’ve got to find that link to share with you)

Photo immediately following first photo, where the fact that I took the first photo a milllion a miles away, to get the restaurant sign in of course, is being mocked

Photo immediately following second photo where Sean is tired of smiling at my silly photos that I want to include in my blog, but Erika and Paul are hanging in! (looking forward to that bottle of Moet & Chandon they’ll be having later, with their neighbors, I’m sure :) )

Photo immediately following third photo, a self portrait, where I am now laughing at my silly photos that I want to include in my blog

Cool photo of Erika’s rockin' red shoes and fancy black and white ensemble

That’s all for today. Hope you’re Sunday is fun and happy. And if you’re anywhere near Santa Monica, you must check out the restaurant Father’s Office.
