At the end of August, No-ah came to visit! Yeah! I haven't seen her since...before Emi-chan's birth. She's one of my oldest and closest friends, although she lives down South. Somehow, we've been able to maintain a strong friendship. No-ah couldn't stay and visit very long, but it was great to hang out with her and catch up.
Over the Labor Day weekend, we took a quick trip to the beach and visited Vince. At the beach, Rick and Vince had fun building sandcastles.
At Uncle Vince's, Emi-chan learned how to play video games with Selena...
...and Rick and Vince competed on Rock Star. I think they enjoyed this more than the sandcastles.
Rick was pretty pooped out from a fun filled day.
September 6th was my birthday. Yeah, yeah, rah, rah. I'm 41 years old now. Great. Not very exciting, but Rick got me some very nice desserts. Love, love.
Recently, I met up with an old friend, Lisa TS and her sister, Doreen, for lunch. Lisa is my oldest friend. We've known each other since junior high. I think we met in French class. It was fun hanging out. Thanks, Doreen, for distracting Emi-chan so I could scarf some lunch and speak 2 full sentences in a row. Hopefully, we can get together again soon for lunch, and Emi-chan will be in a better mood.
Gran Gran was feeling better, so her cousin, Yasuko, drove up from LA to visit. They haven't seen each other in about, oh, 40 years or so. They had much to catch up on.
Here are the young ladies together at last.Although having the cold is a pain, it at least made us slow down and hopefully enjoy the rest of the month.
