Mary needs her morning coffee!
It’s Saturday, and it’s time to work in the garden, so we did. Our first stop was Orange Farmers Supply, where we found Acid Planting Soil for our berry patch. The berries love acidic soil! We got three bags and still need two more, but the Silver Fox’s trunk was not big enough!
The morning visit to the nursery got used to the Acid planting soil for the berries.
We worked in the garden in the morning and early afternoon, making much progress. I worked the berry patch, and Mary did some serious planting. She is getting excellent at planting, mulching, and fertilizing the baby plants.
At 2:00 pm, we began preparing for a tour trip to Long Beach to celebrate Kyle Humfeld’s 50th birthday party. We first got together when he was twenty-five years old as Boeing co-workers. He is a bright young man we are proud to call a friend.
Robin and Bob went with us, and we had fun meeting new people!
Kyle’s apartment is on the beach!
He lives on the eleventh floor, but they have a reservable party room on the ground floor, which Kyle took advantage of. It was an informal affair, so we got to eat munchies and visit many folks!
We met some lovely people.
We did not know Kyle loves pie; he is still young and can enjoy it without getting an exploded waistline like us! Oh, the advantages of being young!
The birthday boy carves up his favorite cherry/rhubarb pie.
We left the party around 7:30 p.m. Since it was close to Patty’s Place, we stopped in and had some drinks and a little bit to eat, including Robin’s favorite dessert! I had ceviche while the others shared Jumbo Mexican Prawns. We all shared outstanding dinner rolls.
We made reservations for seventeen folks to celebrate our fourth wedding anniversary on July 28th. As you may remember, we had our first “date” here and married one year later! It is a special place!
We stopped by PAtty’s Place on the way home.
We headed home around 9:30 pm and visited for a few minutes. The night was quite nary a whisper of wind. The reflections were quite remarkable.
It was a lovely evening.
The kids went home, and we went to bed; it had been a long day, and we were tired!
Indeed!!!!!
