LESFRECKLES INTRODUCES: NEWPORT BEACH SUNSET & BONFIRE

OH NEWPORT. CALIFORNIANESS IN PERFECTION. NO SERIOUSLY, THESE PICTURES MAKE ME "HOMESICK" FOR CALI. THE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN AT MY FRIENDS BONFIRE IN NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA. AFTER ALREADY LIVING IN THE US FOR A YEAR, I HAD MY FIRST SMORES THERE. HOW HAVE I SURVIVED A WHOLE YEAR WITHOUT EATING SMORES? CRAZY.

CHEERS AND EAT A LOT OF SMORES FOR ME AMERICANS!

LESFRECKLES INTRODUCES: SPRING MELANCHOLY

DON'T YOU JUST LOVE SPRING, GUYS? THE COLOR OF THOSE FLOWERS MAKE ME WANT TO EAT RASPBERRY ICE CREAM, PUT MY TOES IN A CRISTAL CLEAR LAKE , LISTEN TO A LOVE TRUNKEN BIRDS SONGS...HOWEVER THIS WEEK HAS BEEN VERY RAINY IN THE STATE, WHERE IT "NEVER" RAINS & IT BRINGS DOWN ALL THE GOOD MEMORIES FROM A FAR AWAY HOME, A FAR AWAY LIFE I'VE BEEN LIVING NOT SO LONG AGO, FAR AWAY FRIENDS & A FAR AWAY LOVE. 

SPRING IS SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL. NEW BEGINNINGS ARE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL. & STILL SOMETIMES IT MAKES YOU APRRECIATE WHAT YOU'VE HAD, ONCE.

LOVE,

CATHI

LESFRECKLES INTRODUCES: KHAMI LEON

THE FIRST PLACE I MET KHAMI HAPPEND TO BE A RESTROOM ON LONG ISLAND, NY, LAST SUMMER. I HAD ONLY TALKED TO HER ON THE INTERNET BEFORE & THE GIRL THAT WALKED INTO THE RESTROOM THATNIGHT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THE KHAMI I'VE SEEN PICTURES OF AT ALL: SHE HAD A DIFFERENT HAIR COLOR AND LENGHT AND WORE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MAKE UP.BUT STILL, SOMEHOW, I RECOGNIZED HER FACE.

"KHAMI?", I ASKED. SHE LOOKED UP AT ME, THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT:"CATHI." SINCE THAT NIGHT WE'VE HUNG TOGETHER LIKE AN OLD COUPLE. WE "SURVIVED" AN EARTHQUAKE, THAT BROKE DOWN THE CEILING OF OUR HOTEL IN NEW YORK, A SERIAL KILLER NEXT DOOR, A HURRICANE. WE'VE GONE THROUGH A LOT FOR THAT SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. MAYBE THATS THE REASON WHY IT FEELS TO ME LIKE I'VE KNOWN HER FOR AGES. 

KHAMI HERSELF HAS ONLY TURNED 23, BUT HAS ALREADY GONE THROUGH MORE THAN PROBABLY THE AVERAGE 40 YEAR OLD. SHE HAS A STORY TO TELL, THIS WOMAN. I AM GLAD TO HAVE BECOME A PART OF THIS STORY.

LOVE,


CATHI
