\"\"<\/p>\n

Our watering systems water on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday! This morning, one of the sprinklers managed to hit the side of a wheelbarrow, which was annoying! With the touch of the phone, it was turned off; I love home automation!<\/p>\n

Morning cometh even though the shutters were closed and locked. It was 7:00 am when we awoke to the sound of Scout doing the pee-pee dance;\u00a0 he wanted outside!!<\/p>\n

I know I am getting old: Everything hurts, and what doesn’t hurt doesn’t work.<\/p>\n

We got our coffee (to get the heart started) and headed to the garden to inspect everything!\u00a0 All was well, and I picked a half-dozen blackberries, popping them into the jaws of death; it is fun to pick and eat right from the garden.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Need we say more?<\/p><\/div>\n

I know I am getting old because I look forward to a dull evening.<\/p>\n

When I paid my bills yesterday, I noticed we were paying $250 for Spectrum, so I looked at the bill in detail\u2014oh my! We decided to research what we were buying and from whom since we are in a pattern now, and everything is streaming.<\/p>\n

We’ve arranged to meet the Duda’s at Huntington Beach since they’ll be heading to the beach. We confidently suggested Duke’s for lunch!<\/p>\n

\"\"

We had the corner seats.<\/p><\/div>\n

I am getting old because the gleam in my eyes is from the sun hitting my bifocals.<\/p>\n

The view was incredible!! The weather was “perfect” (if you like bright sunshine), and Mary and I took a “stroll” (more like a brisk jog to avoid getting sunburnt) on the pier to pick up some new whirligigs! The ones we bought several years ago are on their last legs (literally, they’re missing half their blades and wobbling like crazy)!<\/p>\n

\"\"

What! No beach volleyball??? Nick was disappointed!<\/p><\/div>\n

I know I am getting old: I feel like the morning after, and I haven’t been anywhere.<\/p>\n

Tradition returns!\u00a0 Root Beer floats!\u00a0 We had these at Catal in Downtown Disney for many, many years!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Nick had the audacity to check my ID to see if I was old enough. He was surprised that I had been 21 almost four times!<\/p><\/div>\n

We took a photo before we split.\u00a0 The Duda’s were returning to the beach and we headed for home.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Mary and I are collecting matching shirts these days!<\/p><\/div>\n

Black and white returns us to yesteryear!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Looking good, but where are Colleen and Mark??<\/p><\/div>\n

I know I am getting old because my little black book contains only names that end in M.D.<\/p>\n

Dukes is upstairs; the view is from the pier, looking back towards land!<\/p>\n

\"\"

The burger I had was fantastic! So wine was pretty good also!<\/p><\/div>\n

We returned home and watched TV until midnight.\u00a0 We binge-watched Navy Seals while grazing in the frig for remains of Mary’s cooking outburst!<\/p>\n
