Long time, no blog! I have been very busy with my TikTok and other projects. But I'm up to 12.000 followers and I am considered a "microinfluencer"!
So back to my little life.
On June 20th, we celebrated Preston's 17th birthday with a family lunch. I wore a dress that I got at The Salvation Army, with Jack Rogers shoes and a necklace that I got at an antique shop that was closing down in San Juan Capistrano.
On June 21st, we took our usual morning walk. Since it was Sunday, we cruised by Chik-Fil-A, because it's closed on Sunday and sometimes, we find money there.
On June 23rd, we took a longer walk over to Bella Terra, the nearby mall. I wore Levi's jeans with a crocheted top from Gaby & Leigh.
We went by Whole Foods.
The dogs sniffed the vinca.
Then we went by Barnes and Noble, the only bookstore left. So sad!
We met some nice ladies at the movie theater.
Jacki made a friend at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory,
Jacki got a new frisbee from US Bank!
Rusti loves his donut dreamer bed so much !
He also loves laying on a big pile of pillows.
On June 25th, I actually went to US Bank to see about renewing a CD, I wore Good American jeans, a top from Africa, and Marc Jacobs shoes.
Rusty lives inside, and his two outdoors friends are quite jealous.

On June 27th, we walked down Beach Blvd. We passed Norms.
Then we passed Phuket Thai.
Then we went by Grocery Outlet.
On June 28th, our plumbing issues started and it was very sad, We had to have the whole house repiped. Then we had to replace the pool pump and the water heater. I threw away the prosperity herbs I showed you last month. I think they drew in trouble. It was the opposite of prosperity.
I wore black pants and a mesh ruffled top from INC.
We went to a nearby elementary school that is no longer used, and a great deal of fun was had by all.
We also walked the overpass that crosses the 405 freeway. I hate it because I hate heights.
On June 29th, it was back down Beach Blvd. I wore jeans by Fever and a top that I got in Savannah last year.
We passed the tattoo parlor.
Then we went by Trejo's Mexican Food.
Then we went by Hole Mole to check out the taco happy hour.
We passed a strip mall with a lot of restaurants on the way home.
On July 2nd, Rusty got his first pup cup, but he didn't like it.
On July 3rd, we went to Costco with Win. I wore a pantsuit from Onque.
Rusty relaxed and watched TV with Doc.
Then he worked out with me.
On July 4th, we took the kids past a fireworks stand. When I posted it on TikTok, I got a warning for promoting illegal activity,
We watched the 250th anniversary show from Washington DC while millions of bombs exploded around Huntington Beach.
On July 5th, we had another family lunch. I wore my Shein jumpsuit, which always gets a lot of compliments.
Luke got all the men 4th of July overalls.
SoCal Edison cut down the four Mexican palms in the corner by our pool pump.
Then I repainted all the planters.
On July 8th, we just went to the grocery store. I wore a linen set from Norton McNaughton.
We saw this bright red dragonfly in Win's yard. There are a LOT of dragonflies this year.
I have no privacy anymore.

On July 14th, we went to Target. I wore a dress from Sunny Leigh and Kenneth Cole sandals.
Rusty thought my dress smelled too nice, so he decided to give it a nice scent.
I always feel like somebody's watching me.
He is so adorable!
On July 20th, I went out to lunch with my friend Mary. We went to Stonefire. An old man fell over and died while we were there.
I wore a dress from Bold Elements and some wedge sandals that I got at the Army.
On Tuesday, June 21st, I manned a booth at the Concerts in the Park down in Costa Mesa with my Wetlands Conservancy group. Lots of people came to see the Tijuana Dogs.

Then for Doc, an Armani merino wool sweater, retail $325.
That evening, Rusty had his first dip in the pool. Operation Fox Plunge!
He got some Swiss cheese afterwards.
Today, I went back to US Bank to renew my CD and take out some cash. I wore a sundress from Jonathan Martin and some Hermes Oran sandals.
So that's about all for now! Stay tuned for a lot more dog cuteness in August!
