\"\"<\/p>\n

Robin was up early; she went to the kitchen.\u00a0 I was up early; I went to the office.\u00a0 When Mary arose, we all got together.\u00a0 We chatted and talked to Colleen to check up on Calhan’s progress.<\/p>\n

So what do we have here?\u00a0 This image is a genuine two-story outhouse attached to a two-story hotel.\u00a0 Until I read the details, I did NOT want to be on the first floor (for obvious reasons).\u00a0 \u00a0I feel this way sometimes, especially when the password fairy sprinkles her dust on my computer!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Oh my!!\u00a0 Look out below!!!<\/p><\/div>\n

To bring it up to date, I colored the old outhouse, revealing some additional details.\u00a0 The second-story “two-holer” is on the back of the building, so the droppings miss the folks downstairs!\u00a0 This is a great idea!!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Oops!!<\/p><\/div>\n

So, back to the main story.\u00a0 We all decided to walk, and tried a new route to pass Linda’s wonderful garden.\u00a0 Her garden is located about half a block from our place, and it was spectacular, as usual!!<\/p>\n

The pink flowers were everywhere!\u00a0 The image shows Alstroemeria, also known as Peruvian lily or lily of the Incas.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Flowers everywhere!<\/p><\/div>\n

The lilies lined the front fence, revealing a manicured lawn complete with bird feeders in the ees.\u00a0 Lilies are a flowering plant that is known for their large, colorful, and often fragrant blooms.\u00a0 They grow from bulbs, are native to the northern hemisphere, and are commonly found in Asia, Europe, and North America.\u00a0 Lilies are popular in weddings, bouquets, and other regal ceremonies.\u00a0 They are also poisonous to cats, so it’s important to keep them out of reach of your furry friends.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The lilies were magnificent.<\/p><\/div>\n

I planned to have lunch there, but Mary reminded me it was someone else’s lawn!\u00a0 Phooey, I had a plan!!<\/p>\n

\"\"

We love their front yard.<\/p><\/div>\n

We looked at Lind’s roses and wondered if they were climbers.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Do you climb?<\/p><\/div>\n

They are definitely climbers, and they have hundreds of flowers.\u00a0 We are going to the plant store to find a couple of these for the front yard so they can overhang the entranceway!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Silly question!!<\/p><\/div>\n

Linda planted Evening Primrose, which will take over the place unless she is careful.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Mexican poppies!<\/p><\/div>\n

The red lantana looked like a charcoal fire.\u00a0 Lantana is a popular ornamental shrub known for its vibrant, long-lasting blooms that attract pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds.\u00a0 It’s a heat-tolerant plant that can be used in containers, landscaping, and hanging baskets.\u00a0 Lantana is also part of the Verbenaceae family, with the most common ornamental species being Lantana camara.<\/p>\n

\"\"

A bed of red!!<\/p><\/div>\n

Oh my, a rock varnmit!<\/p>\n

\"\"

We are being watched.<\/p><\/div>\n

We have a new route that is not hilly, yet provides a mile’s worth of effort.<\/p>\n

\"\"

I started the GPS a little late, but only about 400 feet!<\/p><\/div>\n

After our walk, we were starved, so I suggested the Original Pancake House.\u00a0 This way, Mary did not have to cook, and we could share the breakfast (their portions are amazing).<\/p>\n

\"\"

The Original Pancake House for breakfast!<\/p><\/div>\n

Our eyes were bigger than our tummies!<\/p>\n

\"\"

We loaded up!!<\/p><\/div>\n

Returning home, Robin wanted to try the trike, so she zoomed down the street!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Robin tries the trike!!<\/p><\/div>\n

We rested for a while and then got ready for the Fullerton Elks Saturday night event, the local high school jazz band.\u00a0 They were terrific!<\/p>\n

\"\"

We are at the Jazz Club High School Band at the Fullerton Elks!<\/p><\/div>\n

We sat with George and Beverly, longtime friends and fellow dancers.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Beverly and George are a great couple and good friends.<\/p><\/div>\n

The event lasted from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. and included a fantastic Italian dinner.\u00a0 We had a glass of wine and then danced several dances.<\/p>\n

The lodge had a 50\/50 drawing, so Mary and I brought five tickets for each kid (and their instrument).\u00a0 We hoped one of them would win, but an adult won the drawing.<\/p>\n
