11/29/15 - On 11/28, we went to a barbecue and then watched the Notre Dame game with my friend Anne's parents house. We had a great time and said my final good byes to Anne and Laura.
Today, we washed the windows of the car since I can not reach the middle of the windshield or the back window. We put things away and Onita packed and we left for LAX at 1:00pm since we had no idea about traffic. It was some stop and go and took us 3 1/2 hours to get her dropped off. She had quite a wait since I dropped her off three hours early of departure but we did not know about security lines so she was happy to be there early and not rushed. She texted me at 4:50 and was already through security. I could not believe it. Driving back was good since the flow of traffic was much better and I drove it in 2 1/2 hours. I had a great week end with Onita and sure am glad to came to visit.

11/27/15 - On 11/25, I drove to Los Angeles and met up with Lina for a quick lunch before I drove over to LAX to pick up Onita (my 1st cousin) from Montana. She will be here for 5 days. We got into some traffic coming home but got here about 4:30pm. Had some left over dinner and before long we both were ready to turn in.
11/26 - We slept in and then stopped off at the grocery store for some flowers on our way to my friend's Anna and Laura for turkey dinner. There was 12 of us around the table. It was really nice and of course we had so much food. We watched the movie "Miracle on 34th Street" and then came home.
Today, we visited all morning and then finally decided to go visit parts of San Diego. We had lunch as well. We did go to visit the ocean but of course did not stay long because of cold and wind. I showed her two different types of coastal areas and downtown for her. We had a good day.

11/21/15 - On 11/20, I stopped off and got two small salads for Freda and Johnny since they were flying early this morning. I then picked them up at the hotel in Old Town and we went for dinner at a hometown cafe. We had a great time but we made it an early evening since they were leaving the hotel at 5:00am.
I meant to call this afternoon to check and see if they had a great trip but hoping it was uneventful.
Today, I went to lunch with a dear friend of mine, Janie who we decided today have known each other for 23 years. It was so good to see her. Also in attendance was her niece, Amy and her two boys. It was a wonderful lunch and afternoon visit.

11/18/15 - On 11/13, I went and had the emissions test done on the car to get ready to license.
11/16 - went to AAA and got the sticker for the license on the car so now that is all done!
Today, I got up early and drove to a trolley station, parked the car and rode the trolley to the border. I walked across and my faithful friend Carlos, picked me up and took me to the Oasis of Hope hospital where a first cousin(Freda Esh) was getting treatments for breast cancer. She and her husband had been there for 2 1/2 weeks and will be leaving to go back home on Saturday. We had a great visit and went to a Mexican restaurant with some of the acquaintances that they have been introduced to. There was ten of us and it was really nice to get to meet some of them. I had a wonderful visit and 4:00pm came really fast when Carlos was picking me to go back to the border. The crowd to cross the border by foot was unbelievable. It took an hour and 45 minutes to get across. I finally got home at 7:15pm but still was a wonderful day.

11/10/15 - Not much has been happening in San Diego except trying to get some things accomplished like:
1 - getting my blood pressure under control,
2 - getting the fracture repaired on my upper denture and learning that if I request a new upper denture because of the implants that I am looking close to $2000 for the replacement so for now am hoping the repair will last for a while,
3 - getting the car ready for emissions inspection and needed oil change, transmission fluid flush and new fluid, tires checked, sparks plugs checked and not sure what all else was done but of course I walked out with a $300 bill but I knew that some of those things had not been done for a long time,
4 - I have been spending time with friends including spending 3 hours with an ex-employee who is getting chemo every Tuesday, we had a nice visit, have had a friend over for dinner and of course going out for dinner as well.
