Fact: When Shirley Temple turned eight, she received 135,000 gifts.
Today we took it easy as we are going to a birthday dinner in Seal Beach at 5:30 PM. We did a load of errands, including picking up dry cleaning, stopping at CVS, going to TJ’s and Ralph’s market, and the UPS Store. The list diminished quickly.
While texting today, a friend gave me some additional secret codes:
BFF: Best Friend Fainted
BYOT: Bring Your Own Teeth
CBM: Covered by Medicare
FWB: Friend with Beta-blockers
LMDO: Laughing My Dentures Out
GGPBL: Gotta Go, Pacemaker Battery Low!
We headed west at 4:00 PM and got to Patty’s Place at 5:00 PM, where we jumped into our table and had a glass of vino before Charlotte arrived. Mary passed out some cricket lolly pops; they were a great hit!
We looked up the translation into Danish of “Good Evening” and provided the info to the waitstaff at Patty’s; they did pretty well.
We had a delightful dinner and did severe damage to the wine supply. It was fun all evening.
We headed home around 8:30 PM and promptly went to the Swim Spa. Doing nothing all day makes us tired.
