Ouch! Work And Play! Huh?

Can I be your ophthalmologist ‘cause I can’t stop looking into your eyes?

At the crack of dawn, I was up and got ready to get shot.  I peeled out at 8:00 AM sharp to be early for the 9:00 AM appointment.  Well, when I got the Disneyland, there was no one there. I drove into the parking lot with perhaps ten other cars?  What was going on?  I really did not care because I was shot at 8:41 and was on my way to Mary’s at 8:56 AM.

Who gave him a watch??

Mary purchased a world map and then gave me a dart and said, “Throw this and wherever it lands—that’s where I’m taking you when this pandemic ends.” It turns out we’re spending two weeks behind the fridge.

Returning home, we hit the yard with vigor. We planted plants, picked some weeds, and I spend an hour in the lemon tree getting it ready for the blossoms to unfold.  We move the orange tree (in a pot) from the shade to the sunlight, which should make a difference.

She loves her dirt!

I did several odd jobs, including moving an artichoke plant from the shade to the sun.  We spend a couple of hours working in the garden.

Scout is always helping.

OK, work is over; time to play!  We got cleaned up and were ready to rumble at 5:00 PM.  We popped into the var and headed to Chino Hills, where we had dinner with Donna and Bob.

We had them make plates sharing these two entrees, so we had a 400 calorie dinner; Mary watches out for me and my waistline!

At PF Changs, they know us now!

Check out the matching shirts!  We ordered these separately from Amazon, not knowing we were ordering the same shirt!

Check out the shirts! We are matching!

Before dinner, I had to have a new drink called “Dragon’s Breath.”  It came with a glass top on it, and when opened, a puff of dry-ice cloud billowed out.  It was neat! Not a bad drink, but needless to say, my limit was one!

Hic!

Donna and Bob are always a joy to be around!

Dinner is over and our tummies full, so it is time to dance it off.

When we arrived, our table had a vase on it filled with goodies from Bridgette and Mike.  It was the vase Mary used to give Bridgette flowers on Thursday.

Complete with blinking lights!

Mary saw the lights and immediately went into her soothsayer mode.  She did not have her tall Turbin hat, but that was OK for the evening.

She was in a trance; all eyes were upon her!

We danced and danced and headed home because today was a full 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.
