Paul took the CD’s over to Dr Gomez first thing this morning. After returning home, Brian and Jan called and we decided to go to Cucina Enoteca in Newport for our “Goodbye Lunch”…
They are off to the UK one more time! We are hoping the damned Obummer Care will go away so people like them can get their insurance reinstated and doctor back meaning the Finch’s will stay in the USA instead of flying back and forth. After the Obummer Care, their insurance was cancelled and to buy the same thing they had was four times the cost plus a super large deductible!
Our meal at Cucina Entoeca, as always, was excellent! Brain and Paul shared a super combination of a Hero Sub with Beef Noodles. The girls did pizza. We are sad to see them go but they will be back, hopefully by St. Patrick’s Day!
Cucina Enoteca… An excellent restaurant in Newport
The flavored hummus are quite interesting!
Did You Know? Hummus is a Levantine and Egyptian food dip or spread made from cooked, mashed chickpeas or other beans, blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic. Today, it is popular throughout the Middle East (including Turkey), North Africa (including Morocco), and in Middle Eastern cuisine around the globe. It can be found in most grocery stores in North America.
Love having the toasted bread with various flavors of hummus
While at the restaurant, Dr. Gomez called and confirmed his diagnosis of COPD.
Did You Know? Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a type of obstructive lung disease characterized by long-term poor airflow. The main symptoms include shortness of breath and cough with sputum production. COPD typically worsens over time. Eventually walking up stairs or carrying things will be difficult.
Chronic bronchitis and emphysema are older terms used for different types of COPD. The term “chronic bronchitis” is still used to define a productive cough that is present for at least three months each year for two years.
Tobacco smoking is the most common cause of COPD, with a number of other factors such as air pollution and genetics playing a smaller role.
We are going to visit the doctor again and we plan to take Connor with us! Our grandson is 20 and is still smoking! Gonna kick his TLB (Tiny Little Butt) unless he stops smoking now!
We drove down the beach (PCH) going home and the weather was clearing up after this mornings rain. The clouds were interesting.
The clouds were amazing on the way home
We stopped at Patty’s Place to deliver Chuck a bag of tangerines and Grapefruits. We stayed for about an hour. Paul had a cough and Chuck mixed up a “cough syrup” which worked quite well. It was hot, full of lemon’s and mint and some mild alcoloh!
Leaving Patty’s Place about 7:30
We headed home and did the treadmill while watching “Last Man Standing”, “Cheers”, and “NCIS Los Angeles”. We crashed at midnight.
