It’s always time to dance!

We met up with Colleen in the kitchen around 7:00 am American time. Colleen is still three hours ahead of us. We had a cup of coffee and three bananas. After yesterday’s meal, none of us were hungry, so my plan to do a breakfast steak and omelets was put on the back burner, no pun intended!By 9:00 am, Mary headed off to the showers, and Colleen fired up The Silver Fox like she was launching a top-secret operation. Mission: hit the local Dunkin’ Donuts and return with lattes… plus my highly specific, extremely urgent special request: one glazed donut.
No pressure or anything—just the fate of my morning happiness riding on a single ring of sugar.
While scrolling through Quora, I came across a very interesting picture that revealed something I did NOT know. In one of my favorite movies of all time, the “old geezer” on the left (who played a sick old man who jumped off his deathbed to watch the big fight) was, in reality, John Ford’s brother (Ford is on the right and directed the movie).
I turn to this movie at least once a year and have for the past forty years!
While everyone was busy, I finished off yesterday’s daily diary and began a new entry for today.
Mary’s back is finally starting to behave like a normal spine again, so we reviewed her treatment plan: pills, alcohol, massages, and acupuncture. After careful scientific debate, we still can’t agree which one worked best—mostly because the alcohol made the meeting notes illegible.
Apparently, it really works!
Before Mary departed for the painting class, Colleen received a call from her daughter, who said there was some turmoil at home.
Colleen fixed the problem and, once again, showed she is a great mommy!!
Our neighbor picked up Mary, so Colleen and I headed for Home Depot. We walked around and filled the basket with necessities of life, including two new brooms (guaranteed to hold 135 pounds, in case Mary wants to go flying in October).
As soon as Colleen and I got home, it was time to retrieve Mary and her new artwork. Today, we goto a toofer! So, what exactly is a “toofer”? The first image was actually two challenges set by the instructor today!
So, if one does digital surgery on the image, we get two separate works of art suitable for The Louvre in Paris (arrangements are being made as we type).
Time for a cupcake, complete with hearts.
Then we have the Valentine’s Day Byrd. Its name is “Arrow”! Using my amazing translation skills (I speak fluent bird!), I demand a piece of the cupcake, or else he will do a bombing run right across the top of the cake.
This little fellow is a real birdbrain!!
We went VFR home because it looked like rain was coming anytime, and we needed to get the van ready for tomorrow’s pilgrimage to South America, with Joe as the chauffeur.
