\"\"<\/p>\n

After the loss of Scout, we wanted to keep busy!\u00a0 So we did!\u00a0 First, we dropped off my car for its 60,000-mile checkup.\u00a0 We thought we needed a change of spark plugs, which would have been about $600, but the service representative said the car is good for 120,000 miles before a plug change is needed.\u00a0 We won!\u00a0 Beat a $600 bill.\u00a0 We can afford breakfast!<\/p>\n

We departed the facility and headed for breakfast at Rockwell’s, our local restaurant.\u00a0 \u00a0While there, I got a video of the various inspections that were done on our car.\u00a0 Alas, the car did need tires.\u00a0 You can’t win… Instead of saving $600, we now have to spend $ 1,000.\u00a0 That’s OK, I carry precious cargo!<\/p>\n

From Rockwell’s, we went to Trader Joe’s and stocked up on the necessities of life!\u00a0 After putting things away, I drove Mary to her last watercolor class of this session.<\/p>\n

\"\"

S-h-h-h-h-h Artist at work!<\/p><\/div>\n

So true, and we, as taxpayers, seem unable to stop it!\u00a0 Some politicians are getting rich!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We went to the Silver Trumpet and had company!\u00a0 Mr. Squirrel kept trying to sneak in.\u00a0 It was entertaining.<\/p>\n

\"\"

He wanted in for some good food!<\/p><\/div>\n

Mar did her regular, lamb lollipops, and a salad.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Mary did her salad thing!<\/p><\/div>\n

I went for the diver scallops on polenta, and they were terrific.<\/p>\n

\"\"

I opted for the seafood special.<\/p><\/div>\n

I did a baddie!\u00a0 I went for dessert.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Key lime pie, amazing!<\/p><\/div>\n

The weather was perfect!<\/p>\n

\"\"

We walked to the theater.<\/p><\/div>\n

The theater welcomed us!<\/p>\n

\"\"

It was a warm 80-degree evening.<\/p><\/div>\n

The show started, and it was supposed to be whimsical and enjoyable!<\/p>\n

\"\"

We had high hopes for this play!<\/p><\/div>\n

We almost walked out before halftime.\u00a0 What a horrible performance.\u00a0 The main characters were obviously gay, men kissing men, and the “music” was worse yet.\u00a0 I fell asleep since I could not understand most of the “dialogue”.\u00a0 \u00a0I am never going to another performance that I do not know again.<\/p>\n

What was worse, some of the audience cheered and clapped.\u00a0 I managed a fart on the way out, and that was more than it was worth.<\/p>\n

We drove home dejected, as we needed something redeeming and memorable.\u00a0 This performance was at the bottom of the list of the performances that Seagerstrom has managed to put on!<\/p>\n
