It was a chilly winter morning, and you could hear nothing as I cruised slowly down the street with the camera out and ready to capture the moment. Crik (it is a Japanese camera)\u00a0 went the lens and I now have evidence that all of Los Angeles is not a parking lot!<\/p>\n

What am I doing out and about at 0-dark-thirty, well, my dermatologist is like me, an early riser.\u00a0 I like being first because there is no waiting.\u00a0 I am in and out of the office in a flash and home before anyone knows I was gone!\u00a0 He took two biopsy’s and poof, we was gone!\u00a0 Sharpest knife in the neighborhood!\u00a0 He would have been a sushi chef!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Out and about early in the morning!<\/p><\/div>\n

The appointment was for 6:00 AM, and I returned home at 6:30 AM, catching the Sun, making it’s a daily ritual, rising in the East and brightening the sky slowly as ol’ Sol peaks up over the horizon. We are lucky that the major medical center is three miles from our home.<\/p>\n

After seeing the doctor, the sky began to brighten<\/p><\/div>\n

Sue’s home care nurse dropped in at 10:15 AM.\u00a0 Medicare authorizes her to visit once a week for a month after a stay in the hospital.\u00a0 It’s a good program as they try to keep people well and out of the hospital.\u00a0 We know Susan Frye, RN, well as this is her third time visiting us.\u00a0 She announced it would be the last time as Friday she officially retires.\u00a0 While loving the job, at 70, she is just plain “too pooped to pop” and is hanging up her bag.<\/p>\n

When she departed, we decided to for Chinese, and while there, pick up our VCR, which we left on Christmas Day.\u00a0 After our family Christmas dinner at the Panda Inn, we left the VCR going so other customers could watch “A Christmas Story.”\u00a0 While we were there, we made reservations for next Christmas! You know, planning ahead.<\/p>\n

A casual lunch at Panda Inn<\/p><\/div>\n

While over in the La Mirada area, we were going to drop a card off to Amy as it is her birthday, and we had a package for Joe.\u00a0 While there we got a text from Michele, Amy’s mother, about Alex being so very sick with the flue.\u00a0 Apparently, there is a strain of flu that the 2019 flu shot did not address this year. Sue needed to go home to rest anyway, and since Alex was so sick, we didn’t want to interrupt their family activities. He headed home!<\/p>\n

We had just enough time for me to go to the post office to drop off Amy’s birthday card before having to freshen up and head to Melanie’s for our Monday evening ritual of meeting with Irene. We arrived at 4:30 PM and watched the sun drop into the ocean while sharing the latest gossip with Irene.\u00a0 The gin and tonic hit the spot!!!<\/p>\n

Returning home, Sue read, and I did some bill paying and organizing of my camera bags.\u00a0 We talked to Colleen on the Bat Phone for a while and then called Amy to sing Happy Birthday to her!.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Checking on Alex<\/p><\/div>\n

As you can see, the apple does NOT fall far from the tree. We talked to Amy, but Joe’s head kept popping up all over the screen, or he would be “walking in a VERY odd fashion” in the background.\u00a0 We could not keep a straight face.\u00a0 Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear Amy and many many more to come!!<\/p>\n

We returned to our evening seats in front of the boob tube and watched several of our series ending up with “Boston Legal,” always a fun way to end the evening.<\/p>\n

Before going to bed, I pulled the Old Ranch Dinner Dance photos from the camera and put them into Lightroom so tomorrow I can work on that part of the web.\u00a0 While at it, I took off the images from New Year’s Eve off all three of my cameras and put them in one place in Lightroom so I can begin sorting through them!<\/p>\n

Good night and I leave you with a funny image!<\/p>\n
