Volume VI Issue 000031
Last Thursday night I got a surprise visit from Houston! Pepperdine is back on campus for class and with PCH closed it was taking him 2 hours to get to campus when it normally takes about 25 minutes.
He decided to spend the night in Ventura since his commute would only be 45 minutes from our house. Fun! We ended up going to Salzers to shop for vinyl and then to a sushi dinner at Osabi.
I was going to post the picture with the caption “Dinner with my Favorite Son” and he convinced me to just say “My Fav” to see what his sister, Indiana, would say. Silly Goose!
She doesn’t check her socials that often so never saw it. But I met her the next morning in Sherman Oaks to drop off the Cha Cha and have breakfast with her. So I got my payback by posting “Breakfast with my Fav”. LOL.
It was an epic 24 hour period as I was able to see both my kids! Then I headed out to the desert. When I arrived I went to the house that Jo and Jon Dallas were renting on the golf course in the Palm Desert Country Club.
Then Jo and I hit some thrift stores. Check out this awesome handmade mailbox that Jo found for me to purchase.
Jo and I had plans that evening to meet up with Tina Burke (another high school friend) at Sullivans for Happy Hour. Always fun to see the Bellingham girls in California!
Then on Saturday, I picked up Jo at 10:30 and we did more thrifting and then headed into Palm Springs to take my mom’s cousin Gwen to lunch.
We ended up at Billy Reed’s (fan favorite) and I showed Gwen some of the family home movies from the 1930’s that she is in before our lunch came.
Gwen doesn’t look happy in the photo, but trust me…she was! She kept saying “I don’t want this day to end.” We spent 3 hours with her and had to “exit stage left”.
Then on Sunday, I picked up lunch for Jo, Jon and myself at The Old Spaghetti Factory and headed to their house to watch the football playoff games. Some great football and then I met up with Kel for dinner at Cactus Jacks.
Unfortunately, Mo had to work the entire weekend that I was there so only saw her before and after work at her house.
Time for an eBay score. I bought this coffee mug back in 2017 when I still lived in Palm Desert. Yikes! Paid 50 cents for it. Some of these Taylor & Ng animal mugs can sell for a lot of money.
I took a best offer of $70 for this one. Cochon means Pig in French.
I left the desert on Monday morning and met Indiana and Larissa at the WEIRDEST restaurant ever to pick up the Cha.
Indiana had googled Vegan Paleo and got Leo’s Restaurant in Panorama City. The only thing I know about Panorama City is that the May Co had their clearance center there when I was a buyer for them back in the 1980’s. It didn’t strike me as a great city to meet the girls in, but whatever.
You can’t be too picky when you get free “doggy day care”. Well, kind of free. I did buy them a $40 Leo’s lunch and also slip her $100. Pets are soooooo expensive!
Time for another eBay score! Bought this at an estate sale back in May of 2023 for $5. Just sold it for $67.85! Even though smoking is not hip anymore, people still love to collect smoking items and ashtrays.

Thanks for reading my ezines! I appreciate it….as always! Lynn, Emma (I miss Emma), Indiana and Houston.
Houston is coming home AGAIN tonight! Because his commute to Pepperdine for his law school classes will be shorter from Ventura than from Marina del Rey with all of the road closures! So excited to see him AGAIN :). We may go to sushi again or to Paradise Pantry for dinner!
