\"\"<\/p>\n

My cousin Claudia had her 81st birthday today.\u00a0 She came with us to see Dad off at the pier when he went to Hawaii on the Matson Hawaiian Pilot cargo ship!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Claudia and I are about five years old, so this is 75 years ago!<\/p><\/div>\n

I know Mary loves me, but I heard from our next-door neighbor, Jane, this morning, something that was a little upsetting.\u00a0 Jane told me this story…<\/p>\n

Mary went to the police station with Jane, our next-door neighbor, to report that I was missing.\u00a0 In reality, I had just gone to the market to buy Mary some pickles for the picnic the day before.\u00a0 The policeman asked for a description.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mary said, “He’s 35 years old, 6 feet 4, has dark eyes, dark wavy hair, an athletic build, weighs 185 pounds, looks good in a Speedo, is soft-spoken, and is good to the dog.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Jane protested, “Mary!\u00a0 Your husband, Paul,\u00a0 is 5 feet 4, chubby, bald, ugly, farts, has a big mouth, and is mean to your dog.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Mary replied, “Yes, but who wants HIM back?”<\/em><\/p>\n

I thought about it for a bit and forgave her; I promise to be nice to Scout from now on.<\/p>\n

Irne was up and moving at 9:00 am, and we visited on the patio for a while before she left for home.\u00a0 She stayed with us last night instead of driving home at 11:00 pm.\u00a0 Robin also stayed with us, but she departed for work around 4:00 am.<\/p>\n

We did some chores and then headed to the Elks for the weekly Girls Night Out luncheon.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The Old Men’s Club Weekly Meeting is underway!<\/p><\/div>\n

Vicky was out and about and asked if we would be at the Elks; yes, indeed!\u00a0 She always adds life to the weekly meeting.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Vicky joined us today!<\/p><\/div>\n

When Ronnie came in, Mary found a “challenge coin” in her purse and headed for a surprise attack on Ronnie.<\/p>\n

Did You Know?\u00a0 <\/strong>Challenge coin etiquette dictates that coins should be carried at all times, respected, and presented with proper ceremony.\u00a0 Challenges can be issued at any time, and failure to produce a coin can result in having to buy drinks or perform a task.<\/div>\n
\"\"

Ronnie is about to be slapped!<\/p><\/div>\n

Gotcha!!!\u00a0 Ronnie was desperately searching for a matching coin, but alas, Mary got another drink!!<\/p>\n

\"\"

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

Bob told us that at his workplace, the Taco Bell lunch now includes beer and wine (probably to entice people to come to the office).\u00a0 Bob had to leave early to see if this was true.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Bob is about to head out.<\/p><\/div>\n

For dessert, they had a large bowl of mixed nuts and seeds, and I couldn’t resist.\u00a0 I took two handfuls.\u00a0 Later on in the day, Mary fussed at me!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We departed the Elks at 1:30 pm and headed for Dr. Cobb’s office, where we spent a good hour with him.\u00a0 He looked at all the recent days and decided to reduce certain meds and plan for me to do another chemically induced stress test.\u00a0 \u00a0We need to schedule an appointment, as Dr. Cobb will be present (just in case).<\/p>\n

After the test, he will advise us on whether we should take the month-long cruise around South America and Antarctica.<\/p>\n

Later in the afternoon, Bill Capps and Sandee came over to practice their dance for the wedding.\u00a0 Our “ballroom” was perfect, plus we had Alexa, who could play any song they might ever want.\u00a0 They selected “Beyond the Sea” by Bobby Darin<\/p>\n

\"\"

Practicing!\u00a0 They looked fantastic!<\/p><\/div>\n
