The weather forecast was for a beautiful day, so knowing our weather forecaster, we were ready for a tycoon and a lot of rain. But a miracle occurred, the weatherman was key-wrecked!!! It was a wonderful day with temperatures in the low 80s.
We worked in the office for a while until the temperature outside was in the 70s, and then we headed outside for a day in the garden.
Mary worked like a beaver de-weeding all the rose plants, so now the green leaves and red bark of the roses provide us with a wonderful, colorful stroll through the garden.
While she worked, I mostly fiddled around fixing some electrical devices under the gazebo, sharpened some gardening tools, and did some minor sanding and painting, much to the chagrin of my partner in crime.
I stopped once she called Jonathan, and I was ordered by the big guy to “GET OFF THE LADDER GRANDPA!!!!!”
We got cleaned up and headed for the 123rd Inaugural Ball at the Elks. Bill asked us to go, and 9 Carat Gold was playing, so the music would be just fine!
The Pledge Of Allegiance at the Elks!
Bill was called up, and he and Sandy were presented to the Elks Lodge members.
They are a cute couple!!
The presentations were not long, and everyone was dressed to the 9s!
The Elks team for this year are in place and ready to go!
I like those tuxedos, guys!
Looking good!
We had a great seat right up front and off to the side. We could get to the dance floor with relative ease, and we danced for an hour or so. Donna and Bob began to get ready to go around 9:00 p.m., which was right when Mary and I began to think about leaving. The days of staying until midnight are now gone, a distant memory.
Just us.
Maybe a little smooch is OK, but I charge her $1/kiss!
We went VFR home without stopping at Ace’s and were in bed, sound asleep by 10:00 pm!
