Talk About A Full Day!!

We knew we were going too fast!!

We were blessed because the power returned at 6:30 am after I determined I would have to start the generator.  I tippy-toed out of bed and turned on the heat, racing back under the covers like a scalded hound! It was nearly 50 degrees inside, but thanks to our robust heater, we soon got it to a comfortable 52 (oops, I mean 72).

The day begins on a sad note with us going to the funeral of a dear friend, Mary Capps!  We joined many of her friends and family at the funeral held at the Tustin Presbyterian Church at 11:30 am.  We went to the Santa Ana Elks Lodge at 1:00 pm for a reception.  She was a beautiful lady full of life and fought until the end.  RIP, dear Mary!

After the reception, we whizzed home quickly, ran into the phone booth, and changed into Christmas attire for dinner at Rothschilds.

See the details on our website.

It is on PCH at th end of McArthur Blvd and is a fine dining Italian restaurant.

We made it with only minutes to spare!

They had a special swordfish steak so natually I tried that.  Mary was a good girl and did the soup and salad!

Just us!

We had an amazing dinner and everybody was enjoying themslves!

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.
