2/7/2010 It's shiny and new...and it works! That's the new computer for my room here in LA that I'm talking about. Whew! to being back on-line again. More of my life is virtual than I care to admit. Being without full use of a computer taught me that, if nothing else. Patience, maybe? hahahaha Aurelia and I had a nice weekend together. Today we took the Big Blue Bus to the mall on Pico. Sunday is the day Three Cheeky Monkeys, our favorite toy store, offers face painting. Aurelia opted for the butterfly and sat perfectly still for 25 minutes while it was painted on that beautiful little face of hers. She worried briefly that her parents wouldn't recognize her, but lo and behold, they did! While we were at the mall, we hit the ice cream store. She likes mint chocolate chip, which makes me smile, because that was always Diana's favorite, too. All in all, I'd call the weekend a great success. Aurelia missed her parents on Saturday, but by Sunday she had other things on her mind. We stayed very, very busy and happy together. On Friday, she had packed and repacked her pink trunk, saying, "I'm going on vacation to San Diego, too." By Sunday, the subject never came up. 2/5/2010 A quick note I have use of Diana's computer for a few minutes, so thought I'd post a quick note. It is, once again, raining in LA. Ugh. Di and Dave just left for a weekend away. Aurelia is watching a video, and that gives me a few free moments. Yesterday I saw an interesting film, "Broken Embraces," a Spanish language film with subtitles in English. I liked it a lot; had no idea going into it what it was about, but it turned out to be a tale of love and betrayal. Very well done. 2/2/2010 Down and out in LA Wow, do I miss having a computer! Di let me use her work one briefly today, so I've read emails and am posting this quick note so you all know I'm alive and well in LA. The new computer is not due here for two weeks, so there will be a long silence. Bummer. It's been warm and sunny, so I'm spending as much time as I can in the sun. Lovely. 1/29/2010 YikesComputer did a total crash yesterday, so I think this may be my last day to use it at all. Dave got it up and running, but who knows for how long. We are looking at new ones. Anyway, you will probably not see me online much until this is all figured out. Just wanted to let you all know. 1/24/2010 The good news is.......that it did dry out yesterday, and it's sunny today, too. The BAD news is that we all are fighting off colds. That repeated getting cold and wet and sitting through meetings in that condition has taken its toll.
Yesterday Di and Dave attended a Temple service where a friend of theirs was speaking. He and his wife were celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary, and there was a luncheon after the service. Today they are seeing a show downtown. It's nice for them to get out without paying the outrageous babysitting fees sitters in this area charge; and it's nice for me to have some time alone with Aurelia.
Aurelia and I had a lovely outing yesterday, ending with our sampling the pie ala mode, which she loved. Who doesn't? Today she is tired after an overnight with a friend then soccer his morning. So we are 'vegging.'
