Why can\u2019t you take inventory in Afghanistan? Because of the tally ban.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I woke up, looked at my calendar, and voila, almost empty.\u00a0 I mentioned to Mary last night that I would come over and help take Scout to the Vet.\u00a0 I got to Mary’s about 7:45 AM, and we shuffled Scout into the back seat of The Silver Fox.\u00a0 It was a little embarrassing as Scout still had his jammies on, and the design on the jammies were kitty cats! Little did he know he was going to visit the doctor.\u00a0 He thought it was a come as you are a breakfast party!\u00a0 \u00a0Well, everything was OK, according to the vet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the vet’s visit, we went out for a small breakfast sandwich and brought them back home.\u00a0 What to do now.\u00a0 An idea hit us like two tons of water; yes, the swim spa.\u00a0 \u00a0We donned our swimming attire, Mary, with her teeny weenie yellow polka-dot bikini and me with my speedos and two yellow rubber duckies carefully stuffed under each arm.\u00a0 It was frightening to look at.\u00a0 Scout took a peek, howled in a painful matter, and ran upstairs and hid under the bed!\u00a0 He would not come out!<\/p>\n

We were confused. Was it the bikini or the speedos? Hoping not to cause permanent psychological damage to Scout, we changed again into normal “old people” swim attire.<\/p>\n

We soaked for over an hour, and by the end of the time, Scout managed to be brave and came outside.\u00a0 We saved him!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

To make sure Scout was going to be OK, I carefully measured Mary’s swimsuit to see if it was acceptable!<\/p><\/div>\n

In the afternoon, we came up with a plan.\u00a0 We went to the local Waba Grill and did a Jan Mongel fly-by.\u00a0 We surprised her, and without warning, she had no time to make a meal or do anything.\u00a0 We are sneaky!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

We love it when a plan comes together!<\/p><\/div>\n

We left Jan’s and headed to the dance.\u00a0 Bob Z. made reservations at PF Changs, which is nearby the dance studio.\u00a0 The poor waiter had to put up with us the whole evening. He should have known what was coming when we ordered twelve big-macs to go!<\/p>\n

We arrived first and therefore, like the old adage, “the early bird gets the wine”…or something like that!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Mary was attempting to order five glasses of wine, and I suggested maybe one bottle?<\/p><\/div>\n

We dined and yakked for a good hour, swapping stories and telling tales.\u00a0 Those things that never really happened were sure a lot of fun! It is wonderful to have great friends to share things with.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Bob and Donna, great friends and wonderful people!<\/p><\/div>\n

It still feels a little funny to be dining in the middle of the street, but alas, 2020 has brought many changes in our lives.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Having known each other for years, the evening was comfortable!<\/p><\/div>\n

From my seat, I had a wonderful view…in fact, it was fantastic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Mary thought she might order five more glasses; I caught her in time!<\/p><\/div>\n

Mary and I were the walking wounded.\u00a0 Her back and my knee slowed us down so, instead of dancing every dance, we laughed and giggled and danced.\u00a0 M-m-m-m-m-m, now that I think about it, we laughed and giggled while dancing.\u00a0 We were like a self-contained floor show!<\/p>\n

We departed the dance a little early so we could rest our various parts that needed it.\u00a0 Tomorrow we are having brunch with Pete & Lisa and Robin down at Trevor’s At The Tracks in San Juan Capistrano.\u00a0 Mary is meeting the family.<\/p>\n

I was home by 11:00 PM and started some wash.\u00a0 I am pretty busy these days!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
