“No man is a failure who has friends.” \u2014 It’s a Wonderful Life<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Scary, at my age I can remember half of this entire book starting aout 1949!<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s Friday and time to unwind from the last several day’s activities.\u00a0 I relaxed by going to Lowe’s to look for a tool I needed, and as it goes, I did not need one single thing!\u00a0 Wow!\u00a0 I did, however, purchase a new plant stand made from steel tubing as we needed to the orchids get more sunlight! While there, I could not pass up a new orchid plant!<\/p>\n

It was also time to restock up on wine, so a visit to Wine And More was needed.\u00a0 Six cases later, I was done and stocked up for a couple of weeks.\u00a0 Thank you, St, Regis!<\/p>\n

The guest bedroom was calling me, and I took a much-needed beauty sleep for two hours; it didn’t help at all!<\/p>\n

We decided to go to the ranch (ORCC) and talk to the F&B Manager about our big party as we were worried about electrical outlets with two bands going at the same time!\u00a0 We also had a chardonnay, and someone found poor little me a gin and tonic, Hendricks, tall, with a twist of lime! How did they know?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Old Ranch in the afternoon<\/p><\/div>\n

From there, we drove eight miles down the 405 to Euclid and slipped into the parking lot to the GG Elks Lodge!<\/p>\n

Garden Grove entrance to the Elks<\/p><\/div>\n

We had a gaggle of friends there, and we enjoyed dinner and conversation for a couple of hours! Left to right: Neal, Nita, Sue, Bob, Ed, Donna (at the end), Kathy, Vicky, Del, Leon, Marcia, Nita, and RJ (Yours truly capture the moment)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Great fun with dear friends!<\/p><\/div>\n

Kathy and Vicky were sharing photos and excellent memories!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Kathy and Vicky; great friends<\/p><\/div>\n

Returning home, we were still tired, so we watched “Boston Legal” and “Last Man Standing” before hitting the sack at 11:00 PM.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I had a letter in our mailbox when we got home…<\/p><\/div>\n
