It’s Tuesday… Time To Slow Down!

Old Ranch is closed today as they must clean-up after the 4th of July celebration.  We did chores around the house and Paul worked in the garden filling two 100 pound containers with garden remains!  In the afternoon, we went to the new restaurant called Ballast Point (where Khoury’s used to be).  For us it was a disaster.  If was full of millennials,  it was noisy, the food had to be ordered from a line at the bar – no waitstaff, and the place was sterile!  We stayed five minutes and got up and left!

We walked down to Malarkey’s and had a nice leisurely glass of wine, visited with the wait staff, and watched the boats in the bay to the sounds of Frank Sinatra!  Malarkey’s is our kind of place.  Note that Malarkey’s does have its wild side but those are days where we do not show up!

Off to home?  We think not!  We went to Seal Beach Main Street and drove up just to see what was happening.  MIRACLE TIME!  Two parking spaces in front of Cafe St. Germain were open!  Of course we stopped and went in.  The daily wine selections were on the chalk board so we tried one and it was wonderful.  We did two Tapas, both vegetarian, and they were fantastic!  We also ran into James Eaton who was sitting at the bar enjoying a quiet afternoon!

A wonderful experience every time!

A wonderful experience every time!

While there, Paul went next door to the Apple Store (MacFusion) and bought a network extender.

We then headed for home and watched some TV before crashing!

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.
