Hanging out in the Valley

Reseda, Lake Balboa & Van Nuys
Sunday May 24, 2015

Our most recent visit to see Margaret did not involve any museums. Her long hair was in need of a trim, and she had agreed on our previous visit that she would like a haircut, after previously resisting suggestions that she have it trimmed, so we made that our main activity.

We first stopped for lunch. We had Mongolian barbecue, which Margaret had expressed a desire for recently, at King’s on Vanowen in Reseda. Margaret had pork; we each had beef, and we were all pleased with our meals.

When Meredith had searched for hair salons on Yelp earlier in the week, she found few that were open on Sundays. (We chose Sunday for the visit because with the three day weekend it made for the easiest travel day.) We did find a salon in the Korean area of Van Nuys that is open on Sundays, the Art of Hair, on Sherman Way at White Oak. The staff there were very pleasant and skilled, and Margaret was pleased with her haircut.

The three of us spent a half hour or so at the Lake Balboa park, playing a cooperative game of Scrabble. Margaret had fun forming words, although she came up with a couple of alternate spellings! We rounded out the day meeting up with Meredith’s sister for coffee. Margaret shared fun memories of her brother.
