A Memory by Myrtle - October 2004

I remember the spring of 2003 When my husband, Jeff, Matt, Amy and I went down to Malibu to check out the Pepperdine campus. We had a nice day at the school learning more about it. Afterward we decided to look for a beach. It was already late in the day. We found an area that had beach access but was quite a ways to walk to get down to it. Matt and Amy did the walk while Jeff and I just looked at the view from where we were. It was almost dark by the time 'the kids' arrived back at the car. We were all sitting in the car deciding where to eat dinner when a policeman came over to the car to see why we were still there after dusk. He recommended Coogies restaurant. We, of course, took his suggestion.
Coogies was a great place to eat. I remember that Amy ordered two appetizers instead of dinner like the rest of us. She shared them with us and we let her taste our food. She did like to sample things just like Molly said at the memorial service. That was really a cute and unique part of her personality. I never saw her eat very much at any one time though.
It was fun having Amy with us that day and we all had a good time together.
When we went back to Malibu in the fall, Amy was our waitress at the same restaurant. She was a good waitress and seemed to enjoy being one. She seemed to enjoy working there, too. She was able to see different celebrities almost day.
If you are ever in Malibu, you should eat at Coogies. It does not have a view of the ocean, but the food is great.
