I got a new pair of gloves today, but they\u2019re both lefts which, on the one hand, is great, but on the other, it\u2019s just not right.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Up at 6:00 AM and in the garage at 6:30 AM working away.\u00a0 Mary is removing pictures from the walls, and I am going through tons of “stuff” in the garage.\u00a0 I went to Casa Valencia around 9:00 AM to drop off things and install our new doorbell.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Works great; we can hear it clear out in the backyard!<\/p><\/div>\n

Mary worked until 10:00 AM and then got ready for our “Girls Night Out.” We forgot our drapery person\/interior decorator would make a stop!<\/p>\n

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

Our drapery person did stop by right on time; only she came to the wrong house.\u00a0 Mary called me and asked me where I was, and I said, “I’m in the garage awaiting the lady’s arrival.”\u00a0 Mary said the lady had called because she rang the doorbell repeatedly, and I did not come to the door; she was worried about little old me.<\/p>\n

We figured out that the Carol went to Mary’s, and Mary was upstairs getting ready to go out. It made for wonderful comedy.\u00a0 I was so confused I didn\u2019t know whether to scratch my watch or wind my butt.<\/p>\n

We made it to Girls Night Out just in time.\u00a0 I told Mary, “Avoid fruit and nuts; you are what you eat.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The gang is all here!<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s nice to sit with friends at a table.\u00a0 When I was growing up I was so ugly my mother used to feed me with a slingshot, and she was not a great aim! The conversation got around to “what do you hate the most?”\u00a0 I quickly responded with:<\/p>\n

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

Needless to say, we changed the subject quickly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Head of the table!!<\/p><\/div>\n

We came home and met the “clock guy” at 2:00 PM, who would refurb and tune up our grandmothers and grandfather’s clocks; It would be wonderful to have chimes in the house dating back to our parents. I asked Mary, “Why shouldn\u2019t you tell secrets when a clock is around? ”\u00a0 I tried not to answer my question, but alas, it slipped out;\u00a0 “Because time will tell”\u00a0 He took Mary’s Grandmother’s Clock, and then we left for Casa Valencia.<\/p>\n

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

About 45 minutes later, he showed up at Casa Valencia and took my Grandfather’s Clock.<\/p>\n

We had success as I managed to get Roomba the iRobot online, and now Mary and I can control his cleaning activities from our iPhones.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The little devil is devious!<\/p><\/div>\n

The place is starting to be home, and it will be more so when Mary’s belongings start appearing on the 6th.\u00a0 It’s going to be a relatively easy move, we think.\u00a0 We have studied everything twice and measured it three times.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

We have a lot of work to do yet, but it is a labor of love!!<\/p><\/div>\n

After arriving home, Mary took an hour’s nap to get ready for the rest of the day! Sleeping beauty!<\/p>\n

We worked in the garage until it was dark.\u00a0 Mary went through her medical books\/notes while I assisted in providing the muscle.\u00a0 At 7:00 PM I went to In-n-Out and got us dinner. When it got dark, we went inside and to the backyard for a quick dip in the hot waters of the swim spa.\u00a0 We are getting ready for Mary’s first move on the 6th, and we have a lot of work to do!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
