We got up this morning and did some preparations for tomorrow’s luncheon celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. Then it was off to the showers to get ready to go over to Old Ranch, six minutes from our home. We met Robin there which was delightful. We caught up on all the latest Boeing gossip plus family activities.
We had a 1:30 PM tee time so out onto the course we go! What a beautiful day!
The temperature was about 73 degrees and 50 miles visibility
The flowers all over the course seemed to be waking up and yelling “Look at me, I am beautiful”.
Spring has sprung
The blues were really blue today. This is a form of ice plant.
Even the blur plants were more blue
Paul had a pretty good game in spite of the terrible first hole! Three pars and some excellent shots onto the green made for a nice golf day!
We met up with Bunnaford at 3:30 PM, after nine holes, and sat with her until about 4:45 PM. Good friends are those you can see every day and exchange thoughts and ideas and never get bored. Bunnaford was going to her grandsons baseball game at Navy so she departed at 4:45 PM. We finished a little later and then drove across the street to Kobe Steakhouse.
Manny was awaiting our arrival as he knows Paul loves the double header salad… Cucumber and seaweed salad. Then a surprise, he found a nice piece of Kobe beef and “sushied” it for Paul. Is that a real word? It was beautiful and the taste was magnificent!

Did You Know? Kobe beef (????? K?be b?fu?) (KO-BEH) refers to beef from the Tajima strain of Wagyu cattle, raised in Japan’s Hyogo Prefecture according to rules as set out by the Kobe Beef Marketing and Distribution Promotion Association.
The meat is a delicacy renowned for its flavor, tenderness, and fatty, well-marbled texture. Kobe beef can be prepared as steak, sukiyaki, shabu shabu, sashimi, and teppanyaki. Kobe beef is generally considered one of the three top brands (known as Sandai Wagyuu, “the three big beefs”), along with Matsusaka beef and ?mi beef or Yonezawa beef.
Them Sue selected a tuna and avacado plate with spicy mayonnaise. Also quite tasty. Sue then suggested soft shelled crag on a bed of lettuce… Another morsel of delicious food! What an evening!
Avacado and tuna
Bunnaford gave us a wad of two dollar bills to buy her dinner. The last time she was here, she really enjoyed the “Kobe Kids Plate” which is several pieces of Kobe beef on brown fried rice with extra eggs. We departed Kobe at 7:00 PM and performed a “Bunnaford fly-by” meaning we texted her on our way and she me us at the curb! Easy to do as she is only three short blocks away from our house!
As we departed the parking lot, we had to stop and snap this picture with the sun setting behind the trees! The camera does not do it justice!
On our way home
Home again we are! Time for the treadmill and a Hallmark mystery. Tonight It was “Death Al Dente: A Gourmet Detective Mystery”.
Summary” San Francisco homicide detective Maggie Price (Brooke Burns) and former, world-class chef Henry Ross (Dylan Neal) are on the case once again. The crime-solving odd couple investigates the murder of Henry’s friend, a well-known local chef found dead in his kitchen. As they begin to unravel an old family secret, Maggie has to stay one step ahead of a mysterious man in the shadows who appears to be stalking her, while her blossoming relationship with Henry is threatened by the arrival of an ex-love from Maggie’s past.
That was not enough mystery for us so we also watched “Halley Dean Mystery – Murder With Love”.
Summary: Former prosecutor-turned-therapist Hailey Dean is a powerhouse, Mensa bright, and acutely observant. During a tragic week, one of her patients loses her parents to separate fatal accidents along with millions of dollars that has seemingly vanished into thin air. When the police begin to question Hailey’s patient, shes knows she is innocent. But who is the culprit?
To finish off the evening we turned to Netflix and watched two episodes of Cheers so we went to bed laughing!
