Last hurrah before school starts. My children have long lists of things that do not involve back to school shopping. Cowboys football practices go from five a week plus a scrimmage to three. Carson has been running and is solid as a concrete block wall right now. He has a pizza party tonight, beach fire pit party tomorrow night, wants to get tan all of the sudden and invited the mongul horde for a barbeque. Blair's list involves a drive up to Los Angeles, some movies and she will let us know about three minutes before it happens.
I need to finish classes for work online at night, and finish my Fall donate and throw away everything program (my children seem to retrieve from the recycle bin and when Circle of Concern came yesterday to pick up the bags, boxes and loosely piled bric-a-brac, shoes, clothing and toys they were out there pulling stuff back).
The night air is getting cooler. The giant brown spiders are busy making webs on the hillside to pork up for the winter. The fog is back blanketing the night lights from Salt Creek Beach parking lot. It feels like Fall today.
I want to remind everyone to be more careful driving next week. For some reason adults seem to forget the rules around school zones in their hurry to get back in the routine. Go slower than 25 in a school zone, as children will just jump out of the car, parents will hurry and jay walk and we all want to have our children back to school safe.

Welcome Home Marines
Marines are Coming Home.
I live close to Camp Pendelton. After seven years in combat in Iraq men and women need our support. This war we didn't see them come home in boxes on the news. This war we didn't hold our hands on our heart when they left. They are coming home to families and we need to say thank you every time we see them. It doesn't matter if you don't believe in this cause or you are seeing hard times yourself I am asking you to find some simple things they need to get back to normal.
They need gently used furniture to make new civilian homes.They need your car seats and diapers because many have small children and the family lives on a small budget. They most of all need us to welcome them. We need to let them know that being a soldier was a vocation that we appreciate.
Don't give to the Red Cross call Camp Pendleton, go on their website and give something to an individual. So you don't have money to give, perhaps you are good at writing a resume for someone?
Furniture Items Needed
Several military families are in need of furniture items. Families just starting or who have just moved to the area often need living room, dining room and bedroom furniture. We also have families currently waiting for washers and dryers. Your gently used furniture items can help a service member and their family feel at home!

Unique Designs and Free Beer? at the Lab Today
THE LAB COSTA MESA Unique Designers and Fashion
My daughter and I swung by the Unique LA designers at the Lab yesterday. The event is also going today as well 11- 6 August 14th and 15th today!!!
This is outdoor fun. Stroll around and shop the booths like a craft fair. Do not forget to wear comfy shoes. The music is lively music. Free Sobe drinks and free something or other Tea free chips and Free Singha beer. I don’t drink beer but the locals seemed to be enjoying the “free” part … after paying a five dollar admission.
Great back to school shopping for my teenage son’s t-shirts. We found unique individual designs in super soft cotton for ten dollars. Son didn’t attend (as he hates to shop) but was happy with our finds. There are many booths of hand made and recycled created local jewelry art that sells in boutiques in town for hundreds of dollars. Big discounts on jewelry for gifts. I bought some to hide some for Christmas presents. Clothing made by individual designers who only wholesale. Highlights: Lolli bathing suits. Daughter found the cutest bikini with a bow back and very unique bubble pattern on the top.
Saturday and Sunday,11:00 am - 6:00 pm
