RED & BLACK ‘70s EL CAMINO – I think your name is Rick. I’m Rebecca, long blonde hair, wearing short shorts and Crazy shirt. You changed my flat tire, Laguna Canyon. I want to repay you – drinks and dinner (my treat) at Las Brisas any night. #GoodReward

LOST: Large teddy bear named Rufus. I left Rufus in a rental car (Enterprise? I think) at Los Angeles International Airport. Please return; large reward. I have had Rufus for about 15 years and will not be able to sleep tonight without him. #GeorgeConstructionGuy

Will the Branahougan be operating the Teafortwo place?
As you can see, the Branahougan Family enjoys putting their fortunes into start-up businesses.
Maybe they will begin a High Tea service somewhere in Laguna Beach. It would be a welcome addition to all the excellent restaurants already here.
