“The only cure for grief is action.” – George Henry Lewes<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Sue raised Michele, and we were both delighted when we reconnected after getting married.\u00a0 About ten years ago, we went to a restaurant in Playa Del Ray, an area where I grew up.\u00a0 The Adams are lots of fun, and wine tasting tops our outings.\u00a0 Michele has a lot of Sue’s traits, naturally, so I find her a joy to be around.<\/p>\n

Michele and I talk at least every week and we plan to get together soon for an Indian lunch at the Himalayan Grille, now that Michele lives in Huntington Beach.\u00a0 \u00a0Sue is missed by her entire family and especially by me.\u00a0 I love you, Sue!<\/p>\n

We were dining in Playa Del Ray several years back!<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The clock strikes 5:30 AM, and two complete choruses of “Snap, Crackle, and Pop” were plated before arriving in the gentlemen’s lounge for morning prayers!\u00a0 One look around and my fate was sealed for twenty minutes.\u00a0 Move the clothes, fold the clothes, hang up the clothes, put the shoes away, and throw the towels into the wash!\u00a0 OK, now it is allowable to proceed to the next room.<\/p>\n

Mr. Keruig made a cup of coffee, and the ol’ body was headed to the front yard.\u00a0 Time to clean out the front garden and make was for fall planting.\u00a0 Tomorrow a quick trip to H&H ought to find cabbage, winter tomatoes, Swiss chard, and other delights which will get planted forthwith!<\/p>\n

After a couple of hours, Mr. Tummy was signaling that he thought my throat had been cut.\u00a0 Giving in, without a fight, the kitchen came into sight.\u00a0 Opening the refrigerator, which sounded like inner sanctum.<\/p>\n

In my younger days, listening to Inner Sanctum was a favorite pastime.\u00a0 For those of you who are approximating my age, check out the sponsors of the show!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The refrigerator revealed bacon and eggs plus a nice juicy 10-ounce steak, all ready to be cooked up by Chef Pablo (my Spanish nom de plume).<\/p>\n

Out came the frying pan and all the tools needed for breakfast.\u00a0 The bacon and eggs were terrific with the homemade jelly on toasted English muffins.\u00a0 Then, the steak was seasoned with salt and pepper plus a good dose of A-1 sauce. Into the frying pan and eight minutes later, breakfast two hit the table. Needless today, there were no more signs of humger for the rest of the day!<\/p>\n

While cleaning up, the front door opened and that scared me as indicated by me jumping and dropping a small pan into the sink!\u00a0 Clunk!\u00a0 It was Zachary, my grandson!\u00a0 He dropped by to pick up Grandma’s Christmas dishes for Rebecca and to assist me in hooking up the Bose Soundbar to the new TV\u00a0 We visited for almost an hour.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

He is quite a young man!<\/p><\/div>\n

Most of the morning and afternoon was spent in the front yard garden, located on the west wall.\u00a0 The plot was in dire need of attention! After cleaning the first small garden out, the potato spuds were set in the ground, watered, and now we watch.<\/p>\n
