I was up and moving at full speed at 6:155 am because we are expecting company around 9:30 am. David and family are dropping by before they go to the baseball game, so we needed to get ready!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 7:00, the Silver Fox and I headed forEinstein’s’s Bagels on Yuston and picked up a dozen beauties. I asked for them to be sliced, and the nice lad said, “No problem!” I was not! She fed them into an electric bagel slicer, and within 20 seconds, thirteen bagels were sliced to perfection!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The electric bagel slicer is most commonly credited to Murray Lender of Lender\u2019s Bagels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lender helped popularize pre-sliced frozen bagels in the mid-20th century, and the electric bagel slicer helped make bagels easier to mass-produce, freeze, package, and sell widely. There were later patented improvements by others, but Murray Lender is the name most often associated with bringing electric bagel slicing into commercial use.<\/p>\n\n\n

Poof! In at the top and sliced at the bottom!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Selecting bagels was a difficult task; I almost ordered “one of each,” but I kept my cool and made careful, thought-through orders!<\/p>\n\n\n

After heading home, I worked feverishly with my bride to make ready for the arrival. I sliced and diced, set the table, and checked out the drink offerings. I am like a major domo! I am Mary’s majordomo. A majordomo is a person who manages a household or organization on behalf of someone else. Historically, a majordomo was the chief steward of a large house, estate, palace, or noble household. They supervised servants, managed daily operations, handled schedules, and made sure everything ran smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bewitching hour occurs, and first things first, we head to the garden<\/p>\n\n\n

Soon after, Adam was making selections from the remaining peppers and tomatoes and loading up his box of goodies!<\/p>\n\n\n

Once we finished in the garden, we came inside for some goodies.<\/p>\n\n\n

We enjoyed a nice brunch and shared stories of days gone by. I learned more about Pok\u00e9mon than I ever wanted to now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pok\u00e9mon<\/strong> is a Japanese entertainment franchise about creatures called Pok\u00e9mon<\/strong> (\u201cPocket Monsters\u201d). People called Pok\u00e9mon Trainers<\/strong> catch, train, collect, and battle these creatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It began as video games in 1996<\/strong> and grew into a huge franchise with an animated TV series, movies, trading cards, toys, and games such as Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/em>. Pikachu is its best-known character.<\/p>\n\n\n

After they departed, we rested and then got ready for the Starlights’ Autumn Glory dance at the Elks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We danced a lot this evening, swinging and swaying to the music and inventing new steps along the way!<\/p>\n\n\n
