Heidi and Sam are here. . .

Kathleen's niece and her husband made it to Los Angeles yesterday in time for cocktail hour on Randy's terrace. Heidi and Sam took a long weekend break from their jobs in Durango, Colorado to get some sun, see the sights and visit the rellies. They arrived with the top down on their Porsche and have already spotted a $10 hand wash and hand wax location on Hollywood Blvd to give the little car a treat this morning.

Last night Stan and Kathleen retired early while the trio above strolled down to The Alcove on Hillhurst for a robust flaming rum nightcap. Randy is a trove of Hollywood lore and Heidi and Sam took full advantage of their host's knowledge of the area as well as the entertainment business. Photo above, the guests delivered local Durango wine and a plate of smoked tuna for the afternoon terrace nosh.

Meanwhile, a tuckered Birdie, exhausted by a day of back and forth,
strange dogs and new people, found respite on a leather hassock.
