Off To The Races; We Are Party Hoppers Today!

Zoom, and we are off and running!

We have to get Scout ready for Christmas and have a busy day ahead of us.  First, we plan to visit the doggy hairdresser so that Scout can look his best for the guests joining us during the holidays.

After that, we will attend the “Girls’ Night Out” event at the Elks Lodge in Santa Ana.  Later, we will be heading to Aces to attend the El Modena Teacher’s Christmas Party.  Finally, we will attend the Packard International Club dinner in Santa Ana.  It’s going to be a hectic but exciting day!

See The Website For More Details!

Just before we left for our trip, the doorbell rang, and it was a gift for Mary from Paul!  Although I had considered getting her a “Risque Mrs. Claus” outfit, I think she would look amazing in this dress.  Plus, if I get a Mr. Santa costume, we could audition for “White Christmas.”

Mary will be the Bell Of The Ball!

We finalized plans for this weekend’s dance at the Elks, which was beautifully decorated for the holidays.

Why is the alphabet in the North Pole different than the standard alphabet?  The North Pole’s alphabet has noel.

Mighty handsome!

Mary took Santa’s seat briefly before we departed for Scout’s hairdresser to pick him up and watch him sache around the house, wiggling his behind!

A perfect fit!

After Scout arrived home and shared his stories, we freshened up and went to Ace’s Bar and Grille on Chapman in Orange.  We met up with some new friends who are teachers at El Modena High School.  We have a single glass of wine because another stop is planned this evening.

Tiffiny and Steve greeted us at the door.

We left at 4:00 pm with the intention of visiting the Packard Club in Santa Ana.  However, Dianne called and informed us that David was moving slowly today.  As a result, we decided to come back home and went to TJ’s as we were running low on wine.

I love those Packards.

This shop has everything!  So, if you have a rear-end problem, this is the place to be!

David told stories, and Dianne, Mary, and I chowed down on Mexican food.

We enjoyed a small Mexican meal and a glass of wine while visiting friends and listening to stories of yesteryear.

Just us.

It was a friendly crowd this evening.

We were pooped out by the time we got home, and Mary tried on her Mrs. Claus dress, and we planned out tomorrow’s logistics.

Mary plans to spread some Christmas cheer by visiting the “Old Folks Home” to spend time with the elderly.  Mary is VERY considerate and puts the mistletoe where the gentlemen can see it at the Old Folks Home.

Today was enjoyable despite the traffic.  Life is more fun with a partner who serenades you while zipping along at 5 miles per hour in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

About Paul

Just an old retired guy trying to finish out my last years on this planet. I lost my best friend and wife in early 2020. I was blessed again by reconnecting with Dr. Mary Côté, a long-time friend. Mary and I got married July 28th, 2021, and are enjoying life together and plan to spend the rest of our lives being a blessing to our friends and family.
