It was 87 degrees when Paul took off for an “hour or so walk”! Paul was back in 45 minutes dripping wet! Just took it easy and did 1.8 miles in 45 minutes!
It too hot and wet to walk more than 45 minutes!
We had an appointment with the back doctor. He turned on his TV and we got to see all the hardware in Sue’s back! An amazing shot! Technology changes so rapidly!
We visited Sue’s back doctor before the schedled procedure
We got a text from Charlotte who is in Hawaii and of course we replied with the last picture of us in Hawaii. Always good for a giggle or two!
Us in Hawaii
After the doctor and a visit to the hospital for pre-op we decided to go to Cafe St. Germain on Main Street in Seal Beach! They had their air conditioning on and it was perfect. Normally the windows are wide open but today the heat was too much!
Beautiful flower! The red one was also OK
A nice lady next to us took our picture!
Sue had a super idea for lunch!
Cafe St. Germain has excellent wines and a varied menu with several vegetarian selections. Paul did the “filet of lamb” which was outstanding. Sue did the cauliflower soup and half a sandwich!
Dining at Cafe St. Germain
We loved the decor and we were able to tell Jason, the waiter, about the fact this building was a Rexall Drug Store and a Chinese restaurant once upon a time. It’s good being old!
At the French restaurant we thought of Hans
They have interesting wines and also beers! We are going to have to get Hans and Kerstin down here one of these days!
We went home via the cleaners to pick up our formal wear for tomorrow. We freshened up and then went to Katella Deli to order two cakes for the upcoming birthdays! We then decided to go to Old Ranch for a short Happy Hour before heading south! Re wan into Miguel and had a good visit with him!
Took the picture through the side mirror on the freeway
On our way to the Phoenix Club the sun was setting. We could see it in the rear-view mirror so since traffic was light and the car has warning sounds should you change lanes, Paul snapped this picture of the sun going down over Palos Verdes while going 70 miles per hour in the opposite direction! The sky was interesting!
The warm day produced interesting clouds at sunset
Connor joined us this evening and that was great! We got a chance to talk a bit and share. He is growing up! He and Marianne had a talk!
Connor and Marianne
While at the bar, Paul got tapped on the shoulder and who was it? Frank! Luisa’s dad! We invited him to join us and visit. We had a good time! It was a nice surprise. Frank and Greg chatted for a while!
Frank showed up at the Phoenix Club… We had a great visit
We danced until about 10:30 before heading for home! We crashed as we have another full day ahead of us!
