Paul headed out the door at 8:45 and did an hour and a quarter without a single problem! This is looking good! We got cleaned up and departed at 11:00 AM for Javiers where we had lunch with Renee and Nicole!
Did You Know? A goal of 10,000 steps per day was created as a promotion by a pedometer company in Japan in the 1960s and it became popular as it was adopted by walking clubs. It wasn’t based on research, it just sounded good.
Once the goal of 10,000 steps per day was established, researchers played catch-up and found it was a good indicator you were getting somewhere near the recommended amount of physical activity during that day to reduce health risks. Now many activity monitors and pedometer apps use it as a standard goal.
We do 10,000 per day all the time between dancing, walking, and the treadmill!
Bopping on down the avenue
Valentines Day must be close as several houses had their decorations up. Paul is sure there is more to come!

To Irvine Spectrum to go dining at Javier’s. The food and service were outstanding and the company very special! Nicole and Rene are going to have a baby and they called us saying they would be a little late… The baby was not cooperating! (i.e. Morning Sickness). Side Note: They are very responsible and polite people texting us so we would not be worried!
So we hd a great lunch, laughed and giggle and Paul surprised Nicole with a cold glass of milk with pickles! We watched, she did NOT drink it! The waiter thought Paul was a bit “loco en la cabeza”. Paul thought that was a kn own fact!

We went home for a while before getting ready for meal number two of the day!
Our grand kids brought Miss Lilly for Italian at That’s Amore and they asked us to join them! More fun… More food! Sue saved the day by getting the to-go boxes delivered early and hiding the food from Paul!
Come on in!
We had Frank Sinatra Jr. singing tonight. There is a young man with a great voice who sings on Friday and Saturday evenings. He walks around, like in a supper club, greeting the folks and singing to them. Miss Lilly got a kick out of it!
That’s Amore
Another pleasant meal with great kids… It seems funny that here we are having dinner with the person we held in our arms 27 years ago! He is a GREAT daddy and married to a delightful responsible and funny young lady with his own little pile of joy! Sue and Paul decided we are getting old… But, not too old yet!
Dining with the Grand Kids and Great Grandkids!
After Italian we headed to the Garden Grove Elks and again had a great time dancing. Paul was able to avoid ordering dinner for fear that this week’s work trying to loose weight would go away! Tomorrow morning will tell. We are shooting for 214 pounds! We danced until past 10:00 and then headed home to the TV and some more “Dick Van Dyke” reruns!
