SEPTEMBER RECAP


 September started hot, then it got cooler, then it ended hot again.

September started with Sonia's ongoing problem. I had talks with Sonia, then with Nuri and Monica, and I exchanged texts with Eric and Nicole. There have been accusations of lying back and forth. Sonia doesn't seem to think she has a problem other than depression. But it is more than that. 

Mia had a birthday September 15. She had a big party at her special hotel with almost all her family and friends. She turned 70 years old.

September 18, Lizzie and I went to the Long Beach Brewing Company, and stayed for the sunset.



September 23, my financial advisor came with a list of my investments. It looks good.

              September 24, marked the 60th Anniversary of meeting Marvin in Barcelona. 



                                      9-24-64 - Plaza Catalunya - George Lopez and Marvin

Lizzie and I celebrated by going to Happy Hour at El Torito Grill in Brea. It was a favorite of Marvin and me. Afterwards, we went to the Cheesecake Factory for some delicious cake!

September 26, I bought a cool pair of red slip-ins at Skechers. Lizzie went to LM Theater.

September 27, Lizzie had a COVID booster and a flu shot. I didn't go because I had a cold.

September 30, after going to Home Depot, I felt pain in my left leg, very painful, it was hard to walk. I didn't fall or hit anything but the pain was bad :(   We'll see how it feels tomorrow.

                                          Hang a ripe banana and the butterflies will come!

So I did, and waited...and waited...

YAY  they are coming...
but WAIT!!!!

June bugs really love bananas :(





 


AUGUST RECAP

 


      Summer is almost over, and it has gone by so quickly...and just like that, it's September again.

August was a hot month!

Here's some August happenings:

I watched the Olympics every day from start to finish. I liked it was in Paris. The  beginning was chaotic and the end was a bit of a let down, but the games themselves were fun!

August 15 was Sandy and Marty's 31st wedding Anniversary. Cheers!

August 16, Lizzie and I went for our evening walk at the Fullerton Arboretum, always a lovely stroll!




August 17, the side door needs replacement, going to Home Depot and pricing it gave me a headache!


This  is my Summer mantel decorations

August 21 - Paint & Sip evening at La Mirada theater. It was fun, and made some new friends.
                                                                Lizzie and  Aaron (and Levan)

August 22,  Went to Benardo Salon in Fullerton to have my hair cut and colored. Nice place and nice hair stylist.  I still look like a muppet.

After the salon we went to eat at Let it Brie
