House Sits, Hopper and House Work


Well, I've hardly been home these past few weeks. Have had several house/pet-sitting jobs and now look forward to some human company (and margaritas at the Adobe Bar!). I've also been working extra days at Mabel's cause of others being on vacation.

Speaking of Mabel's, I had my 15 seconds of fame! Got filmed by channel 7 (KOAT) news talking about Dennis Hopper and his last visit to Mabel's back in April. He just passed away a week ago-had owned Mabel's back in his drug-addled hippie days and the newspeople just wanted some human-interest stories about him. He had come with all his kids to tour the house one last time and they all seemed to be happy to share the experience, and stories, with him. It was sad though, and he looked so thin and frail after all the cancer treatments. They had the funeral for him at the famous St. Francis Church, then he was buried in a local cemetary. No doubt about it, he sure must have loved it here.

Now back to my house-cleaning....My first guest, from England, comes tomorrow.
