Lynne Pope is your Realtor in Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach

I was in the Hermosa Beach Animal Hospital yesterday. Hot spots, allergy, new flea resistant issues. It was just a simple visit to get some clarity for our dogs. I got more clarity than I dreamed. Katrina Dogs I know were adopted in LA. I was so glad people who could do something went into action. This is a defining moment for readers…get ready.

I met “CHANCE” of last chance. This beautiful black standard poodle was a rescue from Arizona. The new owner “Local” is one of those amazing people that don’t murmer and complain about the tragedy of our economy. She is actively finding the animals and getting them placed, rescued, helped in whatever way she can. She was close to tears as she told me the true story of the plight of animals due to FORCLOSURE. People leave their pets.

I can’t find more words to imagine the sorrow of a family losing their home. The wordless, pets left. What can we do? GRASSROOTS ACTION. Tell everyone you know SHOUT IT OUT for these animals. If you are in RIVERSIDE, TEMECULA, anywhere there is a forclosure get to that house and knock on the door, listen for sounds of a pet. The Banks have to many to go to the houses, The Bank Owned realtors have to many houses to go -like 200-400 properties. Tell this story. Get the news out there and be the voice for the pets. It is unthinkable. We can get into action. Call, write, get the word out there.

Hermosa Beach surfers used the long board when Mira Costa students from the 60′s were surfing. Today’s surfers are into the short board. However the swell in winter often works best for long boards and summer surfing is short board season.

Surfers have treasured memories of their boards like cars. There is a story to the purchase of every board. The places they surfed on the boards. The great memories of the time in the ocean on their board.

Surfers in the Hermosa Beach area have lots of local area shops to go to. Becker, Spyder, Dive and Surf, ET Surf. You can google them and see the list below. Every year there is talk of a new surfboard or a wetsuit. Surfing is part of the natural flow of our family conversation. How is the surf? There is a swell coming in. When we have travelled to Hawaii the big question is to take the boards or rent there. The latest choice is to rent. The surf in different times of year and wave conditions indicate the best board for the job. This year something unusual happened. My husband was driving along Vista Del Mar when two flying surfboards hit his car. There were unusual winds that day and the boards flew off the car in opposing traffic. Everyone was ok but it took quick response to hold the car straight on the road in spite of the blow. The boards and the car were never quite the same. The insurance company call was kind of unusual…Now lets see. two flying surfboards…uh..
That is a true story..in fact surfing does take on a life of storytelling of its own.
