Julie’s Saturday:

7:00 am: Wakened by Abby who insists it is time for her first walk of the day. Peak outside and see it is going to be a gorgeous, sunny day!

7:30 am: Walk Abby to Begonia Park then along Coast Hwy and along all the Village shops. Along the way, Abby sniffs hi to Beau, her black lab boyfriend and plays with Magnus the Pug.

8:30 am: Before heading home with Abby, I stop by the farmer’s market to pick up some Gerber daisy’s for the living room and organic lettuce and tomatoes for the kitchen.

10:15 am: Meet up with George at Peet’s Coffee in Corona del Mar Plaza. Have an iced coffee and chocolate croissant while catching up.

10:45 am: Give George a hug goodbye and head over to run some errands at the shops in Corona del Mar Plaza. Pick up some cute workout wear at Lucy, a heart cookie and toy for Abby at Three Dog Bakery, a pair of summer sandals at Antoinia’s, and round out my grocery shopping at Bristol Farms.

12:30 pm: Head a mile down the road to Fashion Island. Pick up a quick lunch at the hotdog cart in front on Macy’s - got a turkey-dog, of course! Did some shopping at Neiman’s and Anthropologie.

3:00 pm: Took Abby out for her afternoon walk. Walked to Marguerite to visit my favorite Realtor (Stacey) at her Open House and say hello. Walked home via Ocean Blvd and the beaches and took a stop at China Cove Beach so Abby could cool off and play in the water.

4:30 pm: Fed Abby dinner and gave her the new toy and treat I bought earlier in the day.

7:00 pm: Walked up the street to the Wine Gallery where I met Leezette and enjoyed a tasting of a new Merlot at the wine bar before heading across the street to Gulfstream. Had a drink at the outside patio under the strings of white lights, ate a grilled artichoke appetizer, and flirted with some cute guys. Ate dinner alfresco style and enjoyed the warm spring evening. Tried to get a cupcake dessert at Sprinkles but they had closed at 7:00. Maybe I’ll try again tomorrow.

10:00 pm: Gave Abby a pet and turned in for the night. Need to rest up for tomorrow when I’ll be walking the 3 miles to Crystal Cove State Park and will meet up with friends at the Promenade for coffee and pastries at Pacific Whey. Goodnight!
