Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, and oppose any foe to assure liberty’s survival and success. – John F. Kennedy
We ran out to check the new rose, and it is just doing fine! The rain may have helped it along. Now, we have all barrels on the west wall with roses in them, and each one is easy to move around.
Life is like a rose garden — watch for the thorns and keep the pest dust handy
Our new rose is doing well!
Around 8:00 am, I went to get Mary to show her the fantastic Cumulus Mammatus clouds, which are pouch-like cloud structures and a rare example of clouds in sinking air.
Weird cloud formations
The clouds stayed around for about thirty minutes before dispersing and returning to normal.
Looks like bubbles!
I had an appointment with a dermatologist to examine a few unusual spots on my face. The appointment was scheduled for 10:00 am. We stopped by Home Depot and got the item my doctor suggested!
After that, we called Irene and invited her to accompany us to George’s Greek Restaurant on 2nd Street in Belmont Shores.
During our conversation with Nikki, the manager, and George’s daughter, we learned that the family had sold their other locations in Long Beach and Lakewood. Recently, Nikki bought out her brother, and he moved up north to start a winery. She plans to continue working at the restaurant since she lives nearby and her teenage child attends the local high school. We’re thrilled to hear this, as the restaurant has fantastic food and exceptional service!
I asked Nikki, “What do you call the Greek God of regret?” She looked puzzled, and then I told her, “Apollogies.”
We, of course, ordered Saganaki! It looked so good we ordered it for two other tables. The sudden flash in the pan felt pretty good on my cold legs; I wore shorts.
We are about to dine on Saganaki at George’s Greek Restaurant.
Never eat expired Greek food. You’ll falafel afterward!
Mary was a good girl and did the salad. Irene and I each ordered eight lamb chops, and they were out-of-this-world delicious. We had a glass of vino because we knew it was 5:00 pm somewhere. The three of us dined and shared for almost two hours.!
Someone is happy!!
Heading south from Belmont Shores, we went to South Coast Plaza to visit the Apple store. Mary’s iPhone was acting up, but the staff quickly resolved the issue, returning the phone to normal.
We headed home after the repair job and worked around the house. We watched a movie called “Snitch” and then fell asleep. We were waiting to hear the rain, but it did not start until after 3:00 am and was a small storm; hence, it was very quiet!
