Saying Goodbye

Before Mr Karate and Rubylocks left for their honeymoon, they took a last look at the place where the reception was held. Mr Karate took Rubylocks's hand, led her down to the patio and they danced while he whistled "La Vie en Rose."  How romantic!

Then Mr Karate and Mom had to say goodbye to each other.

After all the kissing business was over, we drove down the mountain and back to the City of Angels

where Mom and Mim-may stopped to have terrific bowl of Pho. Mom ate it. I didn't.

We stayed in a hotel overnight. I can't wait to get home and get out of this outfit.

I wonder what my Sleep Number is?

The Day After

We spent the day after the wedding talking,

(17 people went out for brunch, including the bride and groom, who decided to enjoy their guests before leaving for their honeymoon.)

and eating.

 (Mom really loved this salsa verde.  Me, not so much.)

And looking at pictures we took of the wedding.

and relaxing with friends afterwards,

and enjoying the transformation of Mr Karate from shaggy

to stylishly trim and chic.

Mom's brothers and sister have left for their homes. Mr Karate and Rubylocks (who doesn't want to be called Mrs K) will leave on their honeymoon later today.

The Big Day

Yesterday was The Big Day. The day Mr Karate and Rubylocks got married.

 

Mom got her hair done.

Mr Karate got his hair cut. (Here he is with his uncle, Mr Cabinetmaker.)

Everybody got dressed up.

Even me.

(However I was very upset to see this pretty bow was designed for -gasp- woofies.)

This is the first time since 1998 that Mim-may has had all four of her children in the same place at the same time.

This is Mr Karate and his cousins, PlusOne and Pretty Girl.

Mr Karate cried when Rubylocks came into view. PlusOne was the Best Man.

Rubylocks was beautiful. The day was perfect.

I was in attendance, as you can see.

Mom took this selfie.

Everybody had a good time.

Me too.

Super Saturday

I have been exploring. It's pretty cool around here.

There is going to be a big party here later.

 Mom and the Pretty Girl went swimming. (Needless to say I did NOT do that.)

Mr Karate went swimming too.

 I would love to climb this little house, but Mom says I can't.

There's always tomorrow!

Family Friday

Yesterday started with a walk around the neighborhood with Mim-may.

 (And a cup of coffee at the local bakery.)

  Then Auntie Karate and PlusOne arrived and shook things up a bit with their Nerf guns.

 Then it was time to drive to the mountains.

We drove.

And drove,

Until finally we got to the mountains, then we drove some more.

Until finally we got here.

I am so tired. I need a nap.  It's gonna be a big day tomorrow.

Where I Am!

Oh holy carp! This place is amazing.

Mom and I went for a walk near this pretty park.

This is where I am! Old Torrance.

I had to try my paw at climbing a palm tree.  Can you find me?

We all had breakfast at Martha's 22nd Street Grill in Redondo Beach.

I found foods heaven!

I helped Mom find some Chocolate Heaven at a place called See's.

Mom couldn't leave without getting a bagful.

Here I am at Zuma Beach in Malibu Catifornia. That's the Pacific Ocean behind me.

 And he's the obligatory Hero shot of Mr Karate and me.

We had a spectacular dinner at Duke's Malibu.


That's all for now. I am having a lot of fun and a lot of adventures.
