Friday And A Change In “Normal” Plans!

Paul hit the pavement bright and early. Well, 9:00 AM, is still early!   Walking is just a fantastic feeling even though it was quite cool. It was in the low 50’s as Paul headed out the door!

Paul hit the sidewalk for 52 minutes of quick exercise

Today was a special day. Greg turns 65 years young so we had to party. We selected “My Italian Kitchen” in Seal Beach and Irene and David also joined us (David is Greg’s Dad who is about to turn 93). We laughed and giggled for a couple of hours!

David does not look or act 93!  Sue suggested a party for his 93rd birthday!

Irene ordered a super special dish!  A three-cheese stuffed meatball placed atop of bed of simple spaghetti with a little lemon, capers, and butter sauce… It was so good!  How do we know you might ask?  Paul was begging Irene and Irene succumbed to Paul’s good looks and let him have a bite!

Yummy… Simple sauce-less… Delicious…

Of course, a party required music and dancing.  The radio was playing and Irene showed us some of her Greek dance moves.  People on the sidewalk stopped and peered into the window to see the great movements!  Greg was humming the theme song to Zorba the Greek!

A little Greek dancing is quite appropriate

Our waitress got a great picture of the “wild folks”…  Super lunch with wonderful friends.  Life is indeed good!  Not to mention fattening!

Happy Birthday Greg

We went home and Sue did the treadmill while Paul pushed the remote buttons.  We watched another old Colombo which was great!  Peter Falk did an amazing job as the star and as the Executive Producer of the series.

Time to depart from our normal routine… We found out that Gene Du Valle was going to be at Newport Harbor so we headed there for the evening.  The Street Corner Symphony was at Garden Grove and we really do not like them because they are way too loud! Gene’s music was wonderful, very danceable, and just the right level of loudness!

Love Newport Harbor

We were right next to the dance floor… Perfect location!  One bite… One dance… One bite… One dance!

Donna, Bob, Bad Mike, and Bridgette made for a great time

Jim and Sandy joined us this evening which was nice.  We got a chance to talk to them and they are such nice folks!

Jim and Sandy joined us… Great fun!

It be us! Paul had his serious-face on… Why? Who knows!  Checkout the shirt!  A retirement shirt for all occasions!

Resting between dances at the Newport Harbor Elks

We departed about 9:30-10:00 PM and went home to watch a little TV before crashing for the evening,

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.
