Memories: Off To See Grandma: I remember it was 1958. My grandma Lewis, who was Mom’s mother, lived in Tracy, California, which was an 8-hour drive back then. Dad always wanted to leave early to avoid the hot Central Valley weather. We had a 1958 Chevy station wagon, and Dad would drive with the windows open, his arm resting on the door. This was before air conditioning was popular. By the time we got to Tracy, Dad’s arm was blistered. Mom applied “Kip” on it to soothe the burn. I couldn’t find any reference to Kip on the internet. It’s probably too old.
After a few days away from home, Dad was driving down the highway when he spotted red flashing lights, indicating that he was about to be pulled over and issued a ticket. Dad complied and was very courteous to the police officer. Meanwhile, the officer’s partner got into the patrol car and informed his colleague that there was an emergency in town before driving off.
We always support our police force!
After Dad offered him a ride, we drove the stranded officer to the police station located in the next town.
The officer apologized and explained that he couldn’t tear up the ticket since it was serialized. However, he did write a note on it to the judge. I am not sure what the note said, but my father never received the ticket, and it was never recorded in his driving history.
Did it stop Dad from being speedy? No chance.
We returned to town after being away for almost a week and a half and had a doctor’s appointment on Monday. As expected, we had to visit our dermatologist in Los Alamitos. The doctor informed us that our face was doing well, but he discovered some cancer on my chest. So, we will have to visit Long Beach for another check-up in the near future.
While in Los Alamitos at 11:00 a.m., we decided we must have lunch with Miss Robin. We went to the Yucatan Grill in Seal Beach and caught up and planned!
I told Mary about the Lime-Chicken soup, which I thought was great. I made this from scratch at home many years back. Lime soup is a traditional dish from the Mexican state of Yucatan, which is made of chicken or some other meat such as pork or beef, lime juice, and served with tortilla chips.
Did you know that the best chipotle is served in the Gulp of Mexico?

Having just returned from Ba Haba, I needed my lobster fox, so I had the Lobster Enchilada. It was amazing, and the presentation was excellent. I threw in a hard-shelled taco, just in case. Then I was hit by the news: Per serving: 837 calories, 40 grams protein, 46 grams fat (percent calories from fat, 49), 66 grams carbohydrates, 190 milligrams cholesterol, 1,606 milligrams sodium, 5 grams fiber.

We decided to visit Jan and remind her she is going to the Elks on Thursday with us. We went next door and got her a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich!
Philly Cheesecake Time For Jan
We dropped the sandwich by and visited for about twenty minutes; we had to get back to Scout!
Jan said this would last her two days!
After returning home, we resumed our work in the garden and did the last of the wash from the trip. Later, we visited Jeff for a while and then came back home to watch Halloween Town and Going to College in Halloween Town. Disney used to produce great movies, but they started producing low-quality content after becoming more politically biased.
