Easy Day… Walk, Golf, Happy Hour, Doctor, Happy Hour

Before going for a walk, Paul worked in the garden for about 30 minutes doing the morning weeding and watering plus putting up the blueberry shield (plastic netting so the neighborhood birds won’t eat the blueberries).

We planted a new apple tree and two new fig trees!

This lttle tree has FOUR different apples grafted onto it!  Amazing!

Paul headed out the door at 9:00 and made the 3.5 mile journey in just under one hour.  The sun was playing hide and seek in the clouds so no great outdoor pictures today!  After returning home, we picked some strawberries and squash plus additional radishes!  Nothing better than goodies right out of the garden.

We then headed to Old Ranch to do eighteen with James.  It was a reasonably good day!  We made all eighteen holes and played in 3:30!

Sue fed her geese on the 11th hole!  They are indeed funny animals!

We did a short Happy Hour and then went to the chiropractor in Huntington Beach.  The visit was quick so we decided to return back to Old Ranch and continue on from whence we left.  By the time we got back we had both James and Linda, Bullwinkle and Rockey, Bunnaford, and James Eaton surrounding “the pit”.

Story telling was well underway

Linda told us about her “driving adventures” starting with being stopped for going 105 mph in her Prius at 5:00 in the morning on the 105 Freeway (we where happy that she was not on the 605!).  The officer asked her why she was going so fast and when she replied she was a couty employee and wanted to get to work early, the officer ticketed her for 70 mph and asked her not to drive when the officer was on duty!

Then there was the highway patrol incident where she was tagged by a remote vehicle for going 90 mph but Linda wrote the judge telling him that another car EXACTLY like hers was ahead of her so the officer must have tagged the other car…. It worked… Another ticket for 70 mph!

We giggled until it hurt!  We continued Happy Hour until 7:15 at which time we headed home for the treadmill and movies!

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.
