EARTHQUAKE!

It's been awhile since our last significant earthquake here in L.A. It wasn't so surprising - afterall, we've been having what's been deemed "earthquake weather" for just about a month now. Carrie's office was approximately 13 miles from the epicenter - and she was definitely rockin' & rollin' in the Fullerton/Brea neighborhood. Ed's office in Tustin is only about 18 miles away - and he was definitely shakin' too. But all is well, and we're happy that all of our friends and family are fine - that's the important part!

While we did okay at work, the real surprise was when we got home - our little place in Long Beach really was a mess! We are sad to report that we lost some of those great wedding gifts we received ... wine glasses, beer steins, glass trays and picture frames. Cupboards were jostled, drawers were disheveled, and there were 2 very frightened cats! Nothing major, just a big, inconvenient mess! But that's about all.

Glass & olive oil - not a fun combo to clean up, just ask Ed!
