I woke up at 5:30 a.m. and headed to Los Alamitos for the first time. I had an appointment with a dermatologist who took a biopsy. I am expected to receive the results by Sunday. After the appointment, I rushed back home and waited for my wonderful son Joe to arrive, which he did at 8:30 a.m. a.m.
While waiting, Mary suggested removing an extra chair upstairs and added it to the hauling list.
It should be illegal to look this good in the morning!
The green chair has been in the family since the 1950s and is a classic, but it would love a new home with Miss Vicky! Joe horsed it down the stairs and into his truck for the trip to a new home.
Bye, old friend, you will have a happy home with Miss Vicky!
He arrived with enough hauling capacity to transport items equivalent to a small mansion! The picture we sent of the couch made Joe think it was much bigger than it really was; the big trailer made the job a snap!
“Ready to roll, Pops!”
Mary oversaw the loading and secured the tie-downs to ensure the couch does not move during transport.
Loaded and ready under adult supervision.
We put the pillows/cushions in Joe’s truck and the back seat of the Silver Fox. We are ready to roll!
Strapp i tin, it will be a bumpy ride!
Joe and I arrived at Vicky’s place around 9:00 a.m. to deliver the furniture. The effort reminded me of the 1932 comedy short by Laurel and Hardy when they tried to deliver a piano!
Did You Know? The Music Box is a Laurel and Hardy short film comedy released in 1932. The steps are a public staircase that connects Vendome Street (at the base of the hill) with Descanso Drive (at the top of the hill), and are located at 923-925 North Vendome Street near the intersection of Del Monte Drive. A plaque commemorating the film was set into one of the lower steps.
Today, almost 90 years later!
Vicky was thrilled with her recent acquisitions. We chatted briefly before going our separate ways – Joe to the doctor and me to MY doctor!
When I got back home, Mary was still at the gym. So, I decided to do some decorating and then started putting together the Rubbermaid tall freestanding storage unit. Over the years, the roof and ceiling of the unit had become loose. But, thanks to YouTube and a mighty mallet, I was able to fix it and now it is standing tall again. It will also be useful to hold the six boxes of Halloween decorations until next year.
I was tired since I had been up since 5:00 a.m. so I took a short nap while MAry continued decorating. We got ready to go to the Elks Lodge to dance to Lary Fresch this evening.
We had Dona, Bob, Leon, Marsha, Will, Iris, and us. The Capps had to opt out due to Mary’s leg bothering her; they were missed.
We dined and danced until about 9:30 p.m. and then headed home. We crashed almost immediately; it’s been a long day!
I love my partner in life! She is the Cat’s meow and the dog’s bark!
