I found a profit-making activity!<\/p><\/div>\n

We were lazy this morning, not getting up until almost 7:00 AM.\u00a0 I guess we know it is going to be a busy day!\u00a0 Mary wrapped and stamped a package for our friend Virgil so we could take it to the post office.\u00a0 He is 93 and like the large Sudoku puzzles.<\/p>\n

Sudoku is a unique new word puzzle where you place a list of given words into a 9×9 grid according to Sudoku rules.\u00a0 The words must all be placed in the grid so that each of the nine rows, columns, and blocks only contains unique letters.\u00a0 Words may overlap, and each cell must contain a letter from at least one word.<\/p>\n

We are off to “Girls’ Night Out” at the Elks, our weekly outing.\u00a0 We were joined by Iris and Will, Bob and Lacey, Mike and Linda Ash, and Bob Z.\u00a0 It was a gaggle!<\/p>\n

\"\"

They are ready to eat!<\/p><\/div>\n

I put the camera into theater mode, and the picture came out quite nicely!<\/p>\n

\"\"

I love the camera filters!<\/p><\/div>\n

The meal was delicious; the Elks did a magnificent job in the dining arena.\u00a0 The steak was perfect, and the veggies were just right.<\/p>\n

I bet my butcher he couldn’t reach the meat on the top shelf.\u00a0 He said he wasn’t going to bet with me.\u00a0 He told me the steaks were too high.<\/p>\n

\"\"

My steak was super, and I shared it with Dr. Mary!<\/p><\/div>\n

I just had to ask Mary, “Is a vegetarian permitted to eat animal crackers?” She did a cup of soup and the spa salad, but she got some steak also!<\/p>\n

Confucius say\u2026 epileptic lettuce farmer makes “seizure salad.”<\/p>\n

\"\"

She is eating grass again.<\/p><\/div>\n

We returned home, worked around the house for a while, and then got ready to go to Patty’s Place in Seal Beach.<\/p>\n

“To a father growing old, nothing is dearer than a daughter.” \u2014 Euripides<\/p>\n

\"\"

Photobombed by Dr. Mary!<\/p><\/div>\n

We met up with Robin, Pam, and Cathy.\u00a0 The six of us howled and hooted for two solid hours.\u00a0 It was a blast.\u00a0 Pam is still working primarily from home, so it works out fine.<\/p>\n

\"\"

We dined at PAtty’s Place with friends from work.<\/p><\/div>\n

Colleen was our designated driver this evening, so I enjoyed several glasses of wine; perhaps that was the reason for all the fun!\u00a0 Mary joined right in, and Robin was flying high.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
