Fact: Christmas trees usually grow for close to 15 years before they can be sold.
Dang, we must be party animals as we didn’t get up until almost 7:00 AM, and Mary stayed comatose until 8:30 AM. The funny part is that we had one glass of wine each last night; we were tired.
Take a look at the party from the trusty iPhone!
We love our friend and my neighbor for 30 years, Vicky. Everyone else knows her, also!
Fun Fun Fun
We had our morning coffee and sat down to discuss the plans for the day. Mary has a new way of getting my attention.
We finished cleaning up after the party and stayed close to the fire. When we were getting ready to go out for dinner with the Capps, I realized I still had my jammies on; I had NOT done that in decades! This retirement is fun!
We talked to Colleen on the bat phone, and all is well on the east coast, albeit a little on the cool side.
At 6:30 PM, we headed for Huntington Beach to meet the Capps at Vitorio’s Italian Restaurant. We sat in the piano bar and were entertained by a delightful piano player who could play anything; I challenged him with “Amazing Grace,” and not only did he play it, he gave me a history lesson in how it came to be!
The restaurant has been in existence for 45 years!
We spent almost three hours chatting away! Bill and Mary are lovely folks we met through the Elks many years ago.
We went VFR home and got ready for bed; I turned on the TV to watch a movie, and Mary was already crashed, so I removed her glasses and tucked her in, and I lasted another hour before the Sandman visited.
Tomorrow is Scrooge (A Christmas Carol) at Southcoast Repertory Theater. I am restarting a thirty-year tradition. We are going with a group of fourteen family and friends!
Mary and I share our family and friends!
