Hermosa Beach!

I can't begin to blog about the wonderful time I had accompanying Gnomad Princess Consuela Banana Hammock to a wedding shower at a local bar in Hermosa Beach called "The Hermosa Saloon". Gnomad Princess Consuela Banana Hammock showed me the greatest hospitality as did the other patrons of "the saloon". I loved that I was Gnomenapped and had more photo ops with my new friends, Sorry Princess Consuela Banana Hammock I now know I must let you know if I am going to the other side of the bar to spread my "Gnome Love". I may have drank a wee too much, but a cab was called to safely transport all that were involved.

Grand Opening of the Lynda and Stewart Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital

This Gnome can admit when he is jealous, and YES I was when West the Gnome come home from the training and tour of our new home. I have heard of the wonderful deck and the state of the art patient rooms complete with their own bathrooms.

So when I was invited to join Gnomads Princess Consuela Banana Hammock, Troublemaker and Gnome No One at the grand opening of the Lynda and Stewart Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital I was so jazzed.

What a delightful time was had by all. We are all good Gnomes and Gnomads. We behaved ourselves by wearing "church clothes" and keeping our "Irish Whispers" at a whisper we even had water at the cocktail hour! We were on our best Gnome and Gnomad behavior to much the surprise of the others.

We did see the Resnick's and all the heads of the hospital, along with residents and nurses.

We enjoyed a warm late afternoon nonETOH cocktail party on, as West the Gnome posted before, the beautiful 4West deck complete with the wonderful view of Westwood.

Tanks for the invite Gnomads I truly enjoyed myself.

The New Home of the NPI!

I was able to join Gnomad Princess Consuela Banana Hammock and Gnomad Troublemaker for a fun filled day of training and touring of our new home 4 West in the Lynda and Stewart Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital. Our new unit is beautiful! Every one of the patient rooms is private with their own bathrooms and flat screen TVs. The deck is amazing! It is about three times the size of our deck in the NPI, with a beautiful view of Westwood. It is going to be lovely during the Summer months sitting out on the deck with the patients gazing out to Westwood with the buildings all light up like Christmas trees. I love that we will call 4 West our new home. Anywhere that contains West in the name must be a great place!

Alert the Media... WOODY THE GNOME IS MISSING!

Has anyone seen my twin Woody? He has gone missing. The official travel coordinator has question all the possible Gnomads to no avail. If you or anyone you know has seen my twin please don't hesitate to send an anonymous email to 5150gnome@gmail.com. I can not rest until the return of my twin. Please take a minute to study this picture of Woody. The search party has seized. This Gnomad at large that has taken Woody for their own personal pleasure will be dealt with in front of the Gnomad committee. I can not post any details of Woody's last trip due to it would give the Gnomad identity away to fellow Gnomads. I think posting about the Gnomenap will be enough pressure to have the guilty Gnomad to return Woody safely. If you would like to remain anonymous then please return Woody to me personally or place Woody in my mailbox on the unit. Thank you for your time.

Cruising South America!

We Gnomes talk about all our adventures. While talking with other gnomes I have long dreamed of the day when I would be asked to join a Gnomad on a cruise. I did have lots of questions, for one would I become sea sick? Would I get a sunburn? Would I find my sea legs?

To my delight I was asked to join Gnomad Cupcake, Gnomad Shenanigan and Gnomad McPhee on a South American cruise. I saw many sights, found my sea legs, used SPF50 and enjoyed many "drinks of the day". I saw Florida, Honduras and Belize. I enjoyed sunning on the beach and having the cabana boy fetch my drinks. I would highly advise any fellow Gnomads to partake in a cruise.

Meet Me in St. Louis!

There is a saying people from St. Louis know "if you don't like the weather wait 15 minutes". I was able to see arches, no not the golden arches that McDonald's are famous for, but the famous Gateway Arches. We did dine out often, had ice cream and I even was able to take a picture in front of a St. Louis Cardinal baseball helmet. What a grand adventure Gnomad No One and I had.

Sin City!

After my two week vacation to the Philippines, Gnomad KFC and I stopped to play in the city of sin.

To my surprise in the Las Vegas airport there was life size statue of the famous Travolisity Gnome. Growing up as a wee Gnome I always dreamed of this day.

You know what eveyone says... "What happens in Vegas... Stays in Vegas!"

Off to the Philippines!

This Gnome is never shy to attend an outing with Gnomad KFC! We had bonded on an earlier trip to the East Coast, so I was ready to catch up and ready to poss for all the photo opportunities!

Our itinerary included many parts of the Philippines, or the PI as some might call it.

What an adventure this Gnome had! Some of our highlights were: visiting a working prison, a gator farm, the City of Puerto Princesa,Dos Palmas Resort, Hard Rock Cafe and YES, yours truely dined at the President's Mansion!

We relaxed on beaches, ate too much and some nights we might have drank a wee too much. Lucky for me I can't recall how much we drank!
