In true L.A. style..........

........us girlies went to a mall and had a pedicure and a new set of nails put on last night.........so our hands and feet are looking beautiful even if the rest of us is looking a bit pink!!!!!!!!

It is far too hot to sit out by the pool today so I think it will have to be yet another shopping trip - YAY!!!!!!

We have changed our holiday plans.........we are checking out of LA on Monday and driving to Las Vegas a few days early. We are booked into the MGM Grand on Monday and then on Thursday we will move to the Wynn, so a few extra days in Vegas to shop, soak up the sun and explore.......

Now some news from Loz....

HEY fellow sussex's...

Yes your right in hearing that my fellow pasty white body has now turned a very painful pink!!!... unfortunate but true, but im surviving in the wondereful hands of the moreton fords, with doctor Chaz creaming me up every hour or so!

However a little pinkness is a small price to pay for the great time i'm having out here, Ive still got to go shopping for all your wishes,

hopefully you got my bebo message i sent ben to all of u guys, if not ask him to show u!

Hoep u all are well,, can't wait to see the red carpet in the hall way!!

Lots of love to u all, miss u very much..

Hello from Beverly Hills

Wow.....I didn't realise just how much I needed a holiday. I am enjoying the rest and the sunshine - it is gloriously hot here!!!!

We have been busy but just not having to worry about housework or cooking or food shopping etc makes all the difference.......day 1 we went to Hollywood and some shopping, day 2 we wnt to Universal, I can thoroughly recommend the VIP tour, it was a full on day but we loved every minute of it and of course did some shopping, day 3 we left the girls at the hotel - they wanted to work on their tan, and I got Ross to drive me to a quilting shop where I tried my hardest to buy as much gorgeous fabric as I could......yesterday we went to SeaWorld, it was fun but extremely hot so we came home early, drained of energy and went and refreshed ourselves by the pool.

Today we went to The Mosaic Church, they meet in 4 places, one of them around the corner to our hotel, but Erwin McManus was preaching at the one in Pasadena, so we took a drive up there to hear him - Rico, he was awesome, you have got to come out here and see this guy for real........Pasadena is lovely, it has a beautiful backdrop of mountains, is very pretty, but also very hot as it is inland from Beverly Hills........the preach was awesome and we had a quick chat with Erwin afterwards, such a lovely guy........

Ross and the girls are out by the pool, soaking up the last few hours of sun, and I am meant to be surfing the net looking for a bowling alley, 'cos the girls want to go bowling tonight. Better get on with it and I'll be back soon......

Holiday time.....

Tomorrow we are off on our holiday. Me, Ross, Chaz and Lauren (from church) are off to Los Angeles and Las Vegas. We are looking forward to a great time together, some great times with God, theme parks, sunbathing, swimming, shopping and most of all relaxing and unwinding.

We have 3 different Sundays planned, the first Sunday we will be going to The Mosaic Church, the second Sunday we are going to House of Blues Gospel Brunch and the third Sunday we are going to International Church of Las Vegas.

There is a heatwave in California and Vegas is currently running at approx 110*......it will be so nice to feel the warmth of the sun on us and get away from all the rain we've been having.

We will be keeping in touch, through the blog........now I'd better start packing, changing the beds, housework, laundry........but first I think I'll pop out for a quick coffee with my friend Heather........see you soon.

Praise God.......

It's one year to the day that my darling Nanny died. My Nan was one of the good ones and has left an ache that on some days I can't ignore. I miss so much about her but I know she is in Heaven with God having a ball.....this time last year, I had not long received the phone call to say she had gone and I went out into the garden to speak to God. I asked him to let me know that she was with Him. God spoke to me and told me to read Psalm 15......and there was my answer. Psalm 15 described my Nan perfectly......

1 LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary?
Who may live on your holy hill?

2 He whose walk is blameless
and who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from his heart

3 and has no slander on his tongue,
who does his neighbor no wrong
and casts no slur on his fellowman,

4 who despises a vile man
but honors those who fear the LORD,
who keeps his oath
even when it hurts,

5 who lends his money without usury
and does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things
will never be shaken.

Thank you Lord. Your words soothe my pain and hurt......always.
