Thanksgiving is a few days away!
I woke up at 5:30 a.m. and started getting ready to leave for my 8:00 a.m. appointment in Newport Beach. Even though I left my house at 6:30 a.m., I got stuck in a lot of traffic until I passed the 405 off-ramp. After that, it was smooth sailing.
Yep! In the fast lane, doing zero MPH!
The car arrived at the destination 45 minutes early; I followed by a few seconds. There was a Carl’s Junior nearby and a Jalapeno Hamburger along with a cup of coffee jumped onto my tray; great way to start my day.
I left with Mary and Scout snoring to Dixie’s tune; they make a great pair! Although Mary doesn’t snore, Scout’s nose rivals a rocket taking off!
While on my way, Mary called to confirm my well-being and gave me the address of the hearing aid company. I appreciate her always looking out for me.
I visited the hearing aid store and was in and out within 30 minutes. After that, I headed back home. Mary had already left for the gym by the time I got home, so I decided to join her. I met with the gym owner at 10:00 a.m. and decided to start going to the gym with Dr. Mary from December onwards.
We called Bob and sang him a song for his birthday! He is 58 today!
Paul and Bob four years ago!
I left the gym early and headed to the market to pick up some things for Mary before going back home. Mary arrived shortly after that. We went to Ace’s for lunch and shared a large salad and some stuffed jalapenos while enjoying a glass of wine.
Returning home via Albertsons Market, we stopped for a short visit with our shut-in, Jan.
On the way home, we received a video from Mary’s daughter who recently started playing the piano again after taking a break for several years. She sounded amazing, and Mary is extremely proud of her!
I took in the groceries and got the van uncovered and ready for tomorrow’s journey. When I came into the house, Sleeping Beauty was resting.
Z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z
We made several phone/video calls and then crashed about 9:00 p.m.
We will meet Bob and Robin at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow morning on our way to San Diego!
While we’re away, our dear friend Irene will be staying with Scout. Our son and grandson will also be checking on them from time to time, and we’re fortunate to have wonderful neighbors who will be keeping an eye on the place. One of them is an Orange Police Officer, who will ensure that patrol vehicles make several passes by the house during our absence.
Goodnight all!
