Early to bed, first to rise, makes people suspicious!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We retired 12 years, seven months, and 26 days ago today, but who is counting? When I awoke, the outside temperature was 49 degrees. Mom would have said, “Colder than a well diggers butt!”.<\/p>\n

If not, smile anyway!<\/p><\/div>\n

Today was slow, so I did some cleanup in the garage and finalized some arrangements for the Christmas season.\u00a0 When I tried to move the Grey Lady, she would not budge.\u00a0 I must have left something on last time she was out for a spin.\u00a0 So the trusty battery charger ran for an hour, and she started right up.\u00a0 The Lady and I did a grand tour of our local freeways entering on Katella on the 605 and exiting Seal Beach Blvd off the 405.\u00a0 I am sure it blew all the cobwebs out of her!<\/p>\n

Sue did a walk up and down the street using the walker and she did pretty well for the first time out.\u00a0 We are going to repeat this twice a day until she gets back to herself.<\/p>\n

No, it’s really true!<\/p><\/div>\n

We did Indian and Chinese again for lunch, certainly an interesting combination!\u00a0 We get 3 to 4 meals out of our visit to Panda Inn or the Himalayan Grill.\u00a0 This time I asked the chef to change out the meat to lamb so I had Chili Lamb Tikka.<\/p>\n

Did You Know? The word ‘tikka’ has two main meanings in\u00a0India. The first\u00a0meaning is connected with Indian\u00a0cuisine and comes from Punjab, in the North of\u00a0India. It\u00a0means pieces of meat or vegetables marinated and then baked in a tandoor oven on a big iron skewer. Tikka is also a mark worn on the forehead by Hindu Indians.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

For years I have wanted to dine at Rothchild’s in Corona Del Mar and today, I made the reservations.\u00a0 We will go there ahead of the Night of 10,000 lights at Sherman Gardens.\u00a0 We are excited.\u00a0 The Zaitz and Duda’s will be going with us.<\/p>\n

Our stove repairman returned with some additional parts and now, we have a brand new stove.\u00a0 While the exterior is the same, his guts are brand new.\u00a0 We told him that our son-in-law, Mitch, gets the stove when we croak.\u00a0 Actually,\u00a0 it’s in our will!<\/p>\n

We talked on the batphone to Robin doing some Christmas cooridnation.<\/p>\n

Late in the evening we turned to TV and watched three episodes of JAG plus some other favorites.<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
