First of all, the apartment looks AMAZING! Lucie and I did a great job. It’s a good thing we don’t have any posters or pictures to put on the walls because it looks so good, I don’t want to ruin it. It was totally worth the sweat we put into it and the (minor) fights we had.

Anyway, I just want to say a couple of things about this list. The Jazz Festival is not my favorite festival around here. That would be the RC Grape Harvest in September. They actually stomp grapes to make them into wine! It’s a pretty big deal, which I found out last year. Everyone at school volunteers to do something - bake pies for the pie-eating contest, sell tickets, help with the kiddie stuff - and it’s way fun. I can’t wait for that! In the meantime, in August, there’s the jazz festival. There’s art to look and an old car show and lots of music. Not that I am into jazz but it’s kind of cool to be walking around at night, listening to jazzy music as the sun goes down and the air starts to cool off. So that’s next month.

And the second thing: free frozen yogurt! If you haven’t noticed, SoCal is way into fro-yo these days. It started with Pinkberry in Hollywood and spread all over LA and it’s finally reaching us (we’ve got Pinkberry and Golden Spoon already). This one place on Foothill Boulevard, I forget the name…Orange Mango? Yogotogo? Something like that. Anyway, they are giving away free yogurt this weekend to celebrate their grand opening. We have had like, the hottest weather ever and it’s only the beginning of July! There will be people lined up down the street for free samples and Reg and I are gonna be there!

Funny how the smallest things can be so exciting…
