Off Like A Shot

We departed at 9:00 AM and decided we would take good ol’ 99 since it was the closest.  We were surprised that on Sunday morning, traffic was zip.  We made it out of LA without stopping on the freeway once for traffic!

Bill Lee’s Bamboo Curtain was our second stop (we stopped at a rest stop to exercise a bit).  we have the regular.  Paul loves their “paper wrapped chicken”.  We ate about 20% of what they served. We have an ice chest in the van so the meal came home with us.

On to Stockton we go.  While driving, we  found out that Tom was moved to a rehab center in Stockton so we decided to visit Kaye and not go to the hospital as Tom was probably too tired to receive visitors.

It is a beautiful facility just 6.5 miles from Aunt Kaye’s home

We visited for two hours and then headed back to Wine and Roses Spa in Lodi.  Great place,  We had an amazing dinner as Paul finally did their pork chop, which was huge!.  We sat in the bar and listened to the piano music until closing.

One big lamb chop!

Enjoying the music and a glass of wine!

We walked back to our room and crashed for the night… Amazing how much sitting for 8 hours and driving takes out of you… Perhaps hours of concentration?

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.
