Paul started the day with another CT chest scan to try and figure out the bronchitis issue going on!\u00a0 Paul and the CT Scan Technician are worried that people will talk… We know each other quite well these days!\u00a0 She says “You again?” and Paul undresses (i.e. takes off his watch and puts away the iPhone). He was done by 8:50 AM and immediately headed for home so the days adventure could begin!<\/p>\n

We are off to Pasadena to see the Rose Parade floats… Our first “journey” of the year.\u00a0\u00a0 This year Joanna joined us making it special.\u00a0 Joanna is employed by the Rose Garden TeaRoom in at the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens and has served us for several years.\u00a0 She is well known by Irene and Greg (both of which stayed home today and did not brave the cold!)<\/p>\n

We departed at 9:00 AM and arrived just before 10:00 AM which was perfect as Joanna joined us within two minutes!\u00a0 Joanna is a Pasadena local.<\/p>\n

It was indeed a cold Winter morning… In the low 50’s<\/p><\/div>\n

The crowds were minimal early on so the walking was pretty easy.\u00a0 All in all the walking was easy and certainly no dust on the ground as it had rained a couple of days earlier.<\/p>\n

Joanna was hearing things (Click to visit the parade pictures)<\/p><\/div>\n

After walking for several hours, we went to Old Town Pasadena and dined at Cafe Santorini which always is a wonderful experience.\u00a0 The Greek dining experience was outstanding.<\/p>\n

<\/a>

Great fun and time to visit! (Click the picture and visit us)<\/p><\/div>\n

After a delightful meal and a super visit with Joanna, we went home and on the way decided to stop at Patty’s Place.\u00a0 We visited the locals, exchanged serious words with Chuck, and then home for the evening.<\/p>\n

Sue did the treadmill and we watched reruns\u00a0 of Cheers and Last Man Standing on TV.\u00a0 Netflix is such an outstanding deal…\u00a0 No\u00a0 commercials and bing watching is so very easy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
