Fact: Uranus was first named George.<\/strong> – When William Herschel first discovered the planet in 1781, the English astronomer named it the Georgium Sidus (the Georgian Planet) in honor of King George III.<\/em><\/p>\n

The shades flew open to a beautiful day with white fluffy clouds resembling cotton candy floating by the window.\u00a0 Scout, The Wonder Dog, nuzzled us, meaning, “Poppy, I gotta go!”\u00a0 We walked down the hall, into the kitchen, and out the back door.\u00a0 Scout hit the grass running, and I was not too far behind!<\/p>\n

We decided it was “putter-around day,” which is precisely what we did.\u00a0 Mary worked in her closet, and I worked in mine; finally, things are organized.\u00a0 I had no idea that I had twelve red shirts!\u00a0 I also found three of my tuxedos and all ten formal shirts!\u00a0 I no longer have any size 36 pants in the closet, and GoodWill now has many!<\/p>\n

We had bacon and eggs for brunch, and they were terrific!<\/p>\n

We ran out of “puttering time “and had to get ready for the gym at 3:30 PM.\u00a0 Mary went for the gusto while I did a minimal set because we were going to dinner directly after the gym!\u00a0 We go again Thursday, so I will make today up then!<\/p>\n

At 4:30 PM, we headed for Seal Beach and Old Ranch Country Club, where we had dinner with Mary’s financial advisor at 5:30 PM.\u00a0 We sat by the window and had a wonderful time.\u00a0 The service was perfect and the meals fantastic.<\/p>\n

We stopped on the way home to get some stationery.\u00a0 I talked to the clerk and said, “Your finest Scotch, please.” “Yes, sir,” the guy at Staples says as he hands me a 12-year-old roll of tape.<\/p>\n

We talked for hours!<\/p><\/div>\n

On our way home, we stopped by Jan’s because we found a pasta dish at Old Ranch that looked good!\u00a0 Jan will try it out and let us know.<\/p>\n

We told Jan of yesterday’s gardening and rain adventures.\u00a0 Mary has a better way of explaining what happened; I think it is called animation!<\/p>\n
