We had one more morning in the garden and cut just enough to fill up two 90-gallon trash cans with trimmings. Around 11 am, we started getting cleaned up, as we had a 1:30 pm doctor’s appointment with the vascular specialist. The good news is that all is going well. We have to return in about 30 days to get a blood flow assessment. The bad news is that the nerve damage from the retraction procedure won’t heal for about 18 months!
We stopped by the vet and brought our baby home. He now rests in a place of honor on our mantel with his best pal, Moosy!
We were both down in the dumps, but decided a quick stop at the Orange Elks might be good. We missed lunchtime, so we had a glass of vino before going home.
Just what the doctor ordered!
After getting home and placing Scout in a place of honor, we watched TV, awaiting the arrival of our daughter, Robin! She came from work and was going to stay overnight; we called it a movie night. At 5:15 pm, Robin arrived, and we went VFR to Yang Ming, just a mile from our house.
Robin did the shrimp, and Mary went for the Moo Goo Gai Pan. Moo Goo Gai Pan is a classic Chinese-American stir-fry dish featuring sliced chicken and mushrooms in a light, savory white sauce. Its name comes from the Cantonese words for “button mushrooms” (moo goo), “chicken” (gai), and “slices” (pan).
I went for the paper-wrapped chicken, cream cheese wontons, and a portion of vegetable fried rice.
Our tunnies were full.
We enjoyed a delicious Chinese meal!
We made it back home, changed into our jammies, and the three of us watched Robert Redford in “The Sting”.

We enjoyed this movie classic!
We all crashed around 10:30 pm!
