I love that girl even if she is a frog!!

Yes indeed! I rolled over, looked at the wall clock, and it said 6:30 am, but then I looked outside, and it was dark, with the time reading “it’s 0’dark-thirty”. What to do was the question! I flipped a coin and finally got up,p leaving her nibs sound asleep.I crept into the office using my most stealthy move and started working on yesterday’s Daily Diary… but apparently my brain didn’t get the memo. The older I get, the harder it is to remember what we actually did yesterday—at this point, I’m one cup of coffee away from writing, “Day: occurred. Events: yes.” Growing old is not for the faint of heart!
While Mary was getting ready for the Elks, I went to the backyard and planted a flat of corn; sixteen went into the ground. It took about 90 minutes to dig the trough, drill the holes, fertilize, and plant these suckers.
I had all my necessary tools with me!
The garden is about 90% planted, and if we can find spaghetti squash and some watermelons, we will declare ourselves done!
Dig baby dig!
At the Elks, I could NOT resist but to put green food coloring into Bill’s vodka!
We made plans with Bob to take him to the doctor on Monday morning—he’s having a small procedure, which apparently comes with a “no driving” rule, so we’ve been hired as his post-op chauffeur… paid entirely in gratitude and awkward small talk.
Is he having second thoughts?
On the way into the lodge, Mary spotted a “Get Well Bear” that was made by the Emblems (the ladies auxiliary of the Elks). Mary smiled, so I knew I had to get it, and I did, surprising her after lunch!
Cuddling the new addition to our family!
We went home, and Mary took a nap while I did the glamorous work of dragging the trash cans to the front yard—because nothing says “romance” like curbside logistics.
At 3:00 pm, Alexa went off, and it was go-time. Mary geared up for Disney Jazz at Campus Jax. Naturally, she put on the full mouse costume, and I threw on my”Grumpy” car service shirt—because every magical evening needs one person committed to the vibes and one person committed to being mildly annoyed about it.
We were absolutely in the mood. Magical! Musica! We had Robin and Bob with us, making for an amazing evening.
Watch out for the mouse! Hide your cheese!
You can watch the show below!
They jazzed up all the Disney classics, and the sound was pretty good; we actually sang along to some of the songs!
It was nice to see musicians/performers dressed up for a change!
Bob was attempting to figure out what the drummer was doing!
“Beats me!”
The girls were having fun all evening long!
“Give me a hand!”
We rested outside after the show, allowing those in a hurry to clear the parking lot.
“Minnie would never do that!!”
One Ginnes beer and we went crazy!
Clowning around!
After the show, we waited! Bob found the missing placard!
We watched the people exiting the lot going 60 mph; we stayed behind!
Robin and Bob headed home, and we headed to The Tartan Room in Orange to bravely “finish off the evening” the only responsible way: one glass of wine and a couple of Gillis beers.
We even met one of the entertainers—now we’ve got plans to catch his performance next Wednesday night… because apparently we’re the kind of people who make midweek nightlife commitments like we don’t have jobs, laundry, or a couch that misses us. We are FREE!
