On this 100+ degree Saturday in the Conejo Valley, I wanted to share another photo of the splashing fountain at Westlake Village’s Promenade Mall. Mall owner and developer, Caruso Affiliated, surely has created an attractive and comfortable public gathering place around this fountain! Post and photo by Janna Orkney

I watched Pat Boone last night on television, in one of those 1/2 hour presentations for Time-Life CD’s, where he hosted musical selections from the late 1950′s and early 1960′s. One of my favorite songs of his from way-back-when, was “Love Letters in the Sand.” I thought of that as I walked on the wet [...]
