In The Garden! Then To Dancing

Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity.  ~Voltaire

What? No golf?  Yes, no golf! We stayed at home and worked!  Work! Eek!  Paul worked outside in the garden completing most of the summer planting… We are still missing some tomatoes but the garden it ready for them.

Meanwhile Sue worked magic in the kitchen with the freshly pulled cauliflower and other veggies Paul found in the garden.  She made cauliflower steaks and put some of our homemade tomato sauce on them!  Wow!  GREAT way to start a day!

The starting point

The starting point begins with raw cauliflower

The cauliflower is now browned in the pan creating a great “steak”.

We met James and Linda at Old Ranch at 4:00 for some serious Happy Hour and then headed to Garden Grove Elks for dancing with Dave Ambrose!

The quake struck at approximately 9:09 p.m. Friday night, according to the United States Geological Survey. It was centered 1 mile east of La Habra at a depth of 4.6 miles.The earthquake resulted in isolated power outages and damages that included ruptured water mains.  Some homes in Fullerton sustained structural damages, including one that was visibly blocked off by caution tape and deemed to be “uninhabitable” as of Saturday morning.

The temblor was preceded by two fore-shocks, the largest of which was a 3.6-magnitude earthquake at 8:03 p.m., according to the USGS.  Nearly 30 aftershocks were reported in the hour following the quake, according to the Southern California Seismic Network.

Our DJ was un-phased. In fact, he kept singing and decided to sing “Shake, Rattle, and Roll”…  After a few calls to friends, we went back to dancing!

About Paul

Just an old retired guy trying to finish out my last years on this planet. I lost my best friend and wife in early 2020. I was blessed again by reconnecting with Dr. Mary Côté, a long-time friend. Mary and I got married July 28th, 2021, and are enjoying life together and plan to spend the rest of our lives being a blessing to our friends and family.
