Oh no! AT 8:15 am, we have to depart our humble abode and go to the dungeon and get severely punished; yes, folks, I mean “the gym.” We arrived at the gum at 8:35 am, five minutes past our regular time, so we rode the bikes faster than usual.
Amazon had left us a package, so it was open, and I went to work, hanging the talking eyeball on the front porch.
MAry could NOT pass this up!
We talked to Dianne and plan to join her for some errands to prepare for Saturday’s funeral. I made two copies of the presentation on thumb drives, and we were off. We stopped the mortuary and made sure the video would play on the machine, and sure enough, it played perfectly.
It was lunchtime, so we went to Rutabegorz’s in Tustin. Back in 1978, this small “hippie joint” opened its doors to an unsuspecting town. Little did this city know what a trendsetter Rutabegorz restaurant would become.
The tree-lined street reminded us of days gone by!
Inside, the decorations were most interesting. A collection of old coffee makers was on the top of the shelf to the left! Bob and Donna come to the one in Orange every Saturday morning and have for years.
In Old Town Tustin!
The menu was eclectic, and I ordered their MuShu Burrito. It was snow peas, carrots, broccoli, brown rice, and almonds wrapped in a wheat tortilla and smothered in our wonderful Mu Shu sauce.
It was delicious; I downed every bite.
Dianne was with us, and we were all clowning around.
Mirror mirror on the wall!
Along with many vegetarian dishes, Ruta’s also serves white breast of chicken, turkey, albacore tuna, and assorted lean deli meats. Our salad dressings are fresh and house-made, and our condiments are low in fat. As usual, we use only the finest and freshest fruits and vegetables. Their mission has always been to provide the communities with a healthy alternative to traditional restaurant offerings without sacrificing taste.
After a small blackberry pie, we started home via Sprouts.
We then dropped off Dianne and headed home with our tunnies full to the gills! We promptly took a long nap, and dinner was out of the question!
Mary diligently worked on her needlepoint as we watched some movies in the TV Room (aka the living room). I attempted to create a spooky ambiance with the outdoor lighting, complete with my very own dramatic lightning strikes! I must say, I think I scared myself more than anyone else!
Some of the lighting effects I was trying.
We watch several action movies with Chuck Norris before turning in at midnight!
