Mary informed me last night why the spaghetti was large!!
There is something I need to report. Mary is trying to get rid of me!! Mary signed me up for her gym, and I had a session with a trainer the size of Godzilla. That woman pushed and pulled my tiny body to the limits. She was proud that she made my body into every letter of the English, Cyrillic, and Greek alphabet.
I was not able to drive home or get into the car. Mary went home after she tied me to the hood of the car, and to add insult to injury, she fastened the antlers from the rear side window of the car to my head and painted my nose red. I was so embarrassed, especially after she drove through McDonald’s and In-N-Out honking the horn.
She was reminded that I do not get mad; I get even! Then she drove through the neighborhood, honking the horn and calling to the neighbors.
We finally returned home and cleaned up for our errands and dinner with James. I indulged in a relaxing hour-long soak with three pounds of Epsom salts in the hot tub. After the bath, I felt lighter and able to move more quickly. I went down the stairs and onto the grass before finally returning to change my clothes.
We spent several hours doing errands, including shoe shopping and going to Roger’s Garden for presents for Donna and a set of sweetpeas for our garden.
Roger’s was full of people, but we lucked out and got a parking spot in front of the checkout stand.
We wandered through the gardens and got six sweetpea plants we will plant tomorrow.
It was cool outside, in the mid-60s.
We went to Los Alamitos and stopped at Imperial Jewelers for paperwork. Then, we did a flyby at Vicky’s home just a few blocks away.
Wow, just as I remembered it 12 years ago!
We headed to Patty’s, where we dined in style, sharing memories, and as it turns out, Mary spent a lot of time in the same neighborhood as James. We shared a lot and made some golf plans for next year.
The Silver Fox went home, and we brought Jeff, our neighbor, lamb chops for dinner, which he enjoyed.
We watched “How It Ends,” a science-fiction movie about the end of the world as we know it. Summary: A man fights through an unfolding apocalypse in a desperate attempt to return to his pregnant wife, who is thousands of kilometers away.
I feel fortunate to have such a beautiful partner in life! We enjoy every moment with each other.
