Happy Birthday Charlotte!

Fact:  When Shirley Temple turned eight, she received 135,000 gifts.

Today we took it easy as we are going to a birthday dinner in Seal Beach at 5:30 PM.  We did a load of errands, including picking up dry cleaning, stopping at CVS, going to TJ’s and Ralph’s market, and the UPS Store.  The list diminished quickly.

A favorite place to stop!

While texting today, a friend gave me some additional secret codes:

BFF: Best Friend Fainted
BYOT: Bring Your Own Teeth
CBM: Covered by Medicare
FWB: Friend with Beta-blockers
LMDO: Laughing My Dentures Out
GGPBL: Gotta Go, Pacemaker Battery Low!

We headed west at 4:00 PM and got to Patty’s Place at 5:00 PM, where we jumped into our table and had a glass of vino before Charlotte arrived.  Mary passed out some cricket lolly pops; they were a great hit!

We looked up the translation into Danish of “Good Evening” and provided the info to the waitstaff at Patty’s; they did pretty well.

It is a great translator.

We had a delightful dinner and did severe damage to the wine supply.  It was fun all evening.

Dinner time at Patty’s

We headed home around 8:30 PM and promptly went to the Swim Spa.  Doing nothing all day makes us tired.

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.
