  Autumn is a subtle season in Southern California. After living here for several years I decided to pay less attention to the calendar's proclamation of its arrival, and more attention to the signs and signals from Mother Nature.   Since Jack Frost is an infrequent visitor we do not receive the brilliant vegetation colors that follow a first frost. As a matter of fact, September often feels more like summer and our coat-free days can last well into December.   A lone leaf from a deciduous tree on the constant green (as long as its watered) lawn offers up an early sign that fall is coming. - Norma (310) 493-8333

The US Open Tennis Championship is in full swing this week.  It's easy for me to get back into tennis nut mode and morph into addressing the players with a first name only familiarity.  Tennis is a love I refuse to give up although I rarely play now.  The highest my level of play ever took me was singles championship in the 3.8 to 4.0 women's group at the Naperville Raquet Club  back in the day.  However, once bitten, the big tournaments still stir the desire to return to the court.   It's nice to know I'm not alone.  After Wimbledon this year I received a call inquiring about tennis clubs in Palos Verdes.  The Jack Kramer Club in Rolling Hills Estates is world famous and this former member highly recommends it.  Many communities have tennis courts for resident's use only, and a few si...

Although there is a bit of a glare from the glass I had fun previewing this hillside villa in Palos Verdes Estates and snapping a few photos from the windows for a prospective buyer. I like to show clients the view they will enjoy from the interior of the property, not from a gazebo at the top of a hill on the property. If you're in the market to purchase a Palos Verdes view home, Charlemagne International Properties will be honored to assist you.  Contact Norma Toering for more information on Palos Verdes luxury homes with a view.

RAT Beach    I didn't know my microphone battery was nearly dead, but I think the view and the kids with surfboards tell the story without many words.  Josh and I arrived at RAT Beach in Palos Verdes Estates just as a surfing class concluded.  RAT Beach is extremely popular with the locals as the shallow water is great for children and surfing classes. Located in the Malaga Cove area of Palos Verdes Estates, there is ample free parking but keep in mind it is a hike down to RAT Beach.  If you are searching for a secluded beach (it's a hike to a bathroom or drinking fountain) to enjoy the tail end of summer, RAT Beach is worth the walk. I've spent many enjoyable hours at this beach and I'll include a favorite photo or two.    Norma with a granddaughter at RAT Beach in Palos Verdes Estates...

How much does your home contribute to your overall happiness?  Possibly, more than you might think.  On the other hand, all the things you think you need in a home in order to be happy may far outnumber the things actually required to send your happiness level over the top.  For example, this lion caught snoozing in the sunshine at the LA Zoo, found the sunny spot in his lair and he appears quite content to soak up the happiness it brings him. Last weekend a conversation with Son Number Two segued off to a discussion on happiness.  He remarked a friend of his said all she needed to be 90% of the way to being happy, that elusive and fluid state of constant contentment, were three things:  her dog, being able to walk to work and the ability to take an afternoon nap.  As a real estate pro...

Saturday was the hot and humid kind of day best spent poolside or inside with the air-conditioner making the heat more bearable. Instead, I spent the day at the LA Zoo with my daughter's family. Yes, it was hot, but animals are savvy when it comes to staying cool. These flamingos were nowhere to be seen when most of their "yard" was flooded with sunshine. Not a single bird was out strutting its colorful coat in the bright sunlight. Yet upon our return they were out, but still seeking shade from the hot sun. They obviously have a keen understanding of their habitat and weather conditions. If you're a human in the greater Los Angeles area, or considering making a move to the area, it is wise to consider how you will keep cool in the heat of summer. If you purchase along the coast you wil...
