A man tried to assault me with milk, cream, and butter. How dairy!
Time for the Grey Ghost to go to the spa and get his oil changed! We were off and running at 7:30 AM to Cerritos Auto Mall, and while he is getting prettied up, I mosied over to the Lexus dealer and went shopping. It seems like a nice Lexus ES350h is in my future, and the future is likely my birthday!
My birthday present this year to me!
When I arrived home, I received a text message containing a photo that overwhelmed me with emotions. Sue was not able to witness or hold her newborn grandchildren, Emerson and Emylou, who are only a few weeks old at the moment. The message on the shirt in the photo made me emotional and brought me to tears. I now realize that it is okay to cry.
“HAND PICK FOR EARTH BY MY GREAT GRANDMA IN HEAVEN”
After cleaning up, I met Mary at her house, and we drove to Banning so she could check up on Annie, her long time friend. Because of COVID, I went to the shopping center and walked around in the 100-degree heat. 4,500 steps in the heat worked as I am in the 186 range now.
Banning is surrounded by vast open countryside!
I arrived back home around 5:30 PM, and Mary prepared dinner while I helped out as much as possible. Later, we watched “Run Away Bride” and had a good laugh before I left at 8:00 PM. It was heartwarming to see Mary go out of her way to visit a long-time friend, take care of their health-related concerns, and even bring a bag of food. Her kindness and care were truly appreciated.
Mary and I last December
Arriving home, I went through the mail, read a little bit, visited Sue, and finally crashed at about 11:30 PM. I remembered how much Sue loved her dancing, and we would be out three times a week until the last year or so.
Always a smile!
Good night, all!
