The Joyous Living Invites You to Celebrate the Arts with Us.
This afternoon I had to go to Rolling Oaks Radiology in Thousand Oaks for a couple X-Rays. I typically get my radiology workup at MDI Radiology and Thousand Oaks Radiology but Rolling Oaks is connected to my doctor’s office so guess where I had to go? Yep, you got it. I headed to 415 Rolling…
Underwood Farms hosts their Fall Harvest Festival to much acclaim each October. The farm is swarming on weekends with families as a long queue of minivans slowly make their way into the overflowing parking lots. This is where things might get a bit confusing.
