Mark Twain Was Correct: \u201cThe more I learn about people, the more I like my dog.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I started today with a four mile walk and now have achieved 707 miles so far since October 2017. Today was Ralph’s, CVS, and Staples…I returned with a large bag of goodies!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I just keep on walking…some days its easier than others but one must keep pushing…not ready for the rocking chair yet! Almost 1.8 millions steps and this is just the distance I measure in the morning walk…not the rest of the day which is likely another 50% considering dancing and golf!<\/p>\r\n

707…Just like the airplane!<\/p><\/div>\r\n

An amazing flower just along side the parking area in the local elementary school!\u00a0 I have NO idea what it is but it was beautiful!<\/p>\r\n

Walking must do something to the ol’ brain as I get to thinkin’ about stuff, often from my past.\u00a0 Today was no exception!<\/p>\r\n

Sharon Tate<\/p><\/div>\r\n

Random Memories:\u00a0 Sharon Tate came up in a conversation on the local radio station as I was walking and it reminded me that I knew her.\u00a0\u00a0Paul Tate, her father, who was 82 when he passed, was a former Army intelligence officer went undercover seeking clues to the murder of daughter Sharon Tate by the followers of Charles Manson.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Anyway, my Dad and I were in Italy in 1960visiting my uncle who was in the military.\u00a0 Sharon Tate and her family were on the same base at the same time we were there.\u00a0 My uncle knew Paul Tate and his family and introduced me to Sharon, and some friends, at the swimming pool on base.\u00a0 We were the same age.\u00a0 I think I must have fallen in love but she was out of my league.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I remember her well as a) she was quite beautiful, b) she was very friendly and polite, and c) she had green hair…OK, not green as in a leaf but green as in her blond hair was affected by the chlorine in the swimming pool water making it kinda greenish.<\/span><\/p>\r\nAfter returning home, we had lunch…yes, leftover Chinese from either Friday or Saturday?\u00a0 Then we finished off NCIS until the new season starts…so, what do we do?\u00a0 Do we wait 24 weeks and watch the entire season or do we CAREFULLY record all the episodes and watch them as the season unfolds? Decisions decisions!<\/span><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I ran up to the wine store and hardware store returning to rest a bit before cleaning up and heading to Old Ranch for our monthly dinner dance.\u00a0 Got a deal on parts organizers at the hardware store…$14 versus $24!\u00a0 Bought two more…I even have my air compressor fittings organized now!<\/p>\r\n

Off to Old Ranch and an evening of fun.\u00a0 We have 32 for dinner this evening and we celebrated Marcia’s birthday again!\u00a0 Sue has the best view in the house…she can see the people, the dance floor, and the servers moving about the tables!<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a>

Watching over things…The Secret Supervisor!<\/p><\/div>\r\n

Happy Birthday Marcia!\u00a0 We celebrated with a cheese cake and a rousing chorus of Happy Birthday! Marcia was all smiles!<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a>

Happy Birthday Marcia!<\/p><\/div>\r\n

There we thiorty-two of us here this evening and we had a great time!<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a>

Bob tells a whopper!!<\/p><\/div>\r\n

We stayed until about 9:00 PM and then headed home to crash for the evening.\u00a0 It has been quite a week!<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
