Lilly and friends gather at the beach, twice already, on the first few days of summer. There they are, freshmen in high school, enjoying a beach party without a parent in sight. Don’t we all remember when we first went to the beach without any adults? Oh yes, a red letter day.
A few things I’ve done in recent days.
More plants from Ann’s yard that I’ve always liked.
This time of year and in the late afternoon, when I walk up to Wilshire, which I do often, this plant winks at me.
I took Lilly skating again, first lunch of course, then boba, then skating, and I joined in for like 5 minutes at the end. All the little kids had left and the woman at the counter gave me the skates (I think she knew I wasn’t going to last long!). Lilly took a really cute video of me but I couldn’t get any stills out of it. I had Fun and I would do it again. Maybe I’d last twice as long.. BUT.. you know, NO FALLING!
When I walk with Kathleen, my neighbor who is still recovering from a fall, we go around the various paths at the hospital at the end of the street. I think you can smell those jasmine just by looking.
Mystery solved. What has gone wrong with my water bill? Ah, this, a drip in one of the water heaters. It’s probably cost me a hundred dollars already. So Lona and Trevor’s new contractor came over and I showed him my whole property to-do list. Please cross your fingers for me that he proves to be My Guy. “Talkin’ ’bout my guyyy.”
I went with Jo Ann on my favorite walk at Palisades Park. My dino, in her full-dress. Then we went to a new Happy Hour, at Forma on Montana, and we ate so well, it was a total treat. Not a bargain mind you, but very satisfying.
