One Full Day!

Babies are such a nice way to start people. ~Don Herrold

We began the day at our neighbors baby shower at the Newport Country Club.  They are expecting in July and are getting prepared!

We then headed to Los Alamitos Race Track to watch the Belmont Stakes race and hoped fro a California Chrome win… Alas, we came in fourth.  However, the guys all came in first place!  We be hansom devils!

A Day at the races

The weather was magnificent and the wine was cold… What else can one ask for?

Long way down to place a bet!

We watched for the private club called Vessels and the O’s arranged for great seats at the top of the enclosed stands.  The only thing bad… It was a journey to place a bet!

A good glass of wine made the race loss go down

We then headed to the Garden Grove Elks to complete the day and dancing with the Zaitz and Branders!.

Enjoying the dance… NO, not with each other!

We were pooped this evening and hit the sack around 11:00…. Early by our standards!

About Paul

Just an old retired guy trying to finish out my last years on this planet. I lost my best friend and wife in early 2020. I was blessed again by reconnecting with Dr. Mary Côté, a long-time friend. Mary and I got married July 28th, 2021, and are enjoying life together and plan to spend the rest of our lives being a blessing to our friends and family.
