Irene Celebrates Her Birthday!

It’s August 1st and the year is moving so very fast!  We worked around the house for a while and decided, due to Cabin Fever, we would go out before Happy Hour.  We went to the local Brewery and enjoyed a glass of wine and Paul had some mussels.  We sat outside under the tent and had a great view of the Long Beach Harbor.

At 4:30 PM we headed to Malarkey’s to meet up with Irene.  Greg is in the desert with his dad enjoying a few days away from LA.  It is Irene’s birthday on the 3rd so we decided to celebrate a little earlier!

We love to shop for Irene… We look for interesting (and edible) stuff.  Edible so it does not have to be stored for very long!

A dessert showed up unannounced and we found out who was behind it… Jennifer is a very thoughtful young lady!  Malarkey’s is lucky to have such a great employee!

Jennifer gave Irene a surprise!

We headed for home afterwords to watch a movie (that means, Sue did the treadmill).  We then watched three more episodes of Star Trek.  We decided sometimes the episodes get a “little goofy”.  We laughed and turned in at 12:30 AM.  Tomorrow is a gold day!

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.
