It’s Friday; The Week Is Gone!

If time is money, then are ATMs time machines?

Mary went to work, and the girls decided it was going to be a Temecula Day.  I called Bob Z, and the four of us were gone for the day!

The first stop was lunch; we walked the beautiful grounds.

A stroll through the grounds.

I ordered the scallops and stuffed squash blossoms.  They were quite tasty, a good appetizer.  I ended up with their burger, which was outstanding.  We sat and dined and talked for 45 minutes, great fun!

Robin ordered cereal for lunch and then asked the waiter, “What wine goes with Captain Crunch? ”  We were so embarrassed!

Appetizers are served!

Colleen and I traded funnies keeping Robin and Rob in stitches most of the meal! My daughter and I only drink wine on days that end with a “y.”

Dad and Daughter!

These two were n slouches when it came to one-liners and tossing barbs back and forth! Bob remembered, “A meal without wine is called breakfast.”

Robin and Bob!

We then headed to Sout Coast Winery, where we tasted and enjoyed the air conditioning.  It was in the high 80s, maybe low 90s most of the afternoon!

Entering South Coast Winery

Bob and I stayed away from the bar where the girls were.  It was a “Girls Gone Wild” moment!

Doh!

We then went to Europa, sampled the nectar, and finished the day at Long Shadow Ranch because Robin wanted a Blue Boot liqueur!  I reminded everyone, “In dog wine, I’ve only had two glasses. ”

Funny day!

After Mary got home, we decided cooking was not on the cards, so we called Patty’s Place and got reservat3ions at 7:15 PM.  We got our favorite seats and enjoyed a leisurely dinner.  Even though I only had two glasses of vino, Colleen offered to drive home, and I let her.  Mary and I cavorted in the back seat, probably embarrassing the girls’ plenty.

Colleen and Mary really hit it off!

I was reminded by the girls…

Yep indeed!

The three girls get along so well; I love family and especially where everyone is happy.  I wish our third daughter could be here, but Michele was busy this evening.

Dining at Patty’s

We headed home, swung open the doors, and sat on the patio for a while.  Mary got a little chilly, so I found a blankie for her to wrap up in.

Night night!

We all crashed about 9:30 PM with Robin staying in the guest room and Colleen staying in The Robin’s Nest.  This weekend is going to be busy!!

I leave you with a thought for the evening.

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.
