Another Wonderful Warm Day In Orange!

It is so hot the birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.

It’s almost mid-November, and it was 93 degrees!  Come on, cool weather!  we got up late and just messed around going through our email and unopened snail-mail. 11:00 AM came pretty fast, and we were ready to go to”Girls Night Out” at the Elks.

We arrived right on time at the Santa Ana Elks!

We were first to arrive, and the gang showed up soon after that.

The gang showed up a about noon.

We always have a great time, and we share our meals, so we get fish and steak.

Just us!

After the Elks, we went to Moon Valley Nursery and selected three trees; a yellow maple, an avocado, and an orange.  They will deliver and plant them on the 18th so that they will be in for Thanksgiving.

Mary met a dinosaur while roaming through the trees.

We went to Moon Nursery in Huntington Beach!

Someone had a big welding machine.  The dinos looked scary and would be frightening at night!

Mary has a friend!

Mary named him Liz; I guess that was short for the lizard?

NO! You cannot take him home!

Time to eat again?  We had two big filet mignon’s, and they were so thick I was afraid to BBQ them, so into the pan they went.  They came out just right.

We cooked the steaks inside because they were so thick!

Mid-November and we are dining outside in 78-degree weather!  The bug zappers were going full steam, and the breeze was perfect.  We had a delightful meal talking for a good hour about family and stuff.

Dinner is served!

Scout, The Wonder Dog,  sniffed the meat and looked at us with a sad face; he did not beg but gave us a guilty feeling.  One bite, and he was happy.

Scout has a little bit of dinner!
