My July-August mantel

A sad thing happened in July 17. T had a fall and hurt his leg/thigh, had a lot of pain and a couple of visits to the ER. He seems to be doing a little better now, but because of it, Sandy's visit to LM had to be postponed :(

Marty started his Colorado trail hike July 13.

Lizzie and I went to see the 4th of July fireworks by the Chase bank

                                                             

                                     I ordered my Saatva topper. I hope it helps me sleep better.

July 16 went to the dentist to get a crown

July 18, went with Lizzie to the Fullerton Arboretum

Went to the the Bank to get some euros and forints etc. for  S&L trip

We went to eat...Dame Mas, El Torito Grill, etc.

I couldn't eat too much because of the crown work, lots of soft food at home.

Dame Mas + 2 Margaritas

JUNE RECAP

 

My June mantel

The month of June was pretty blah for me. I didn't do much of anything for fun, just talking to "termite" people, and what to do about it. 4 different companies and 4 different  prices, ideas, etc.  I also spent a lot of time worrying about whether or not to take my blood thinner pills (I will start in July).  ::sigh::

Lizzie went to San Diego the last of May and came back June 3. I spent time cooking for myself (pastel de atun) and that's about it. She went back to San Diego, and other places June 26-28. She stayed with her friend and went to Ramona for a poetry reading.  Again, I spent some time cooking for myself (corn chowder and salmorejo) 

                       With Lizzie, we went to La Huasteca and to La casa del cocinero.

We had takeout from Reventaco, Panera, Cane's and Mike's.  June 26 my friend Jennifer came by and we went again to La casa del cocinero, and we  got back home and talked for a long time. June 23rd was la verbena de San Juan and I made some Catalan dessert and had a bottle of Blanc de Blanc.
