Happy Birthday R.J.!

Shannon, Maxyne, and R.J. (my sister, niece, and nephew) came up to Long Beach from San Diego to hang out with Effie and me. It happened to be R.J.’s birthday so we took him out to lunch and he got a huge piece of chocolate cake!

After lunch, we went to Color Me Mine and we all picked out a piece to paint…it was a lot of fun! That is something I would love to do again!

Effie & I painted the bowl for Gabe to put his change in. Effie's hand prints are all around it.

I was so surprised to see this hair salon in Belmont Shore!! Effie & Co.!!
