Thanks for explaining the word “many” to me; it means a lot.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I am retired, of that, there is no doubt.\u00a0 We woke up at 6:00 AM, and I said, “It’s Sunday morning. Let’s have our coffee in the hot tub”.\u00a0 Then I was informed it was Wednesday, duh!<\/p>\n

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

I continued the third module of my seniors driving class until it was time to take Scout, The Wonder Dog, for his morning walk. Actually, I think it is more for us than for him.\u00a0 I asked Mary, “What idiot called it a vet instead of a dogtor?”\u00a0 No reply, and that is probably good.<\/p>\n

We walked Five Miles this morning!\u00a0 It felt pretty good. During our walk, I asked Mary, “Did Noah include termites on the ark?”<\/p>\n

Animals are so smart, and Five Miles is no exception. He barked and barked, and I think he said, “Did you know that dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish?”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Hurry up; it’s time to walk!<\/p><\/div>\n

During our walk, we all talk, yes, even Five Miles tosses in some observations about people.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Indeed this is the case.<\/p><\/div>\n

The patch on the sprinkler pipe seemed to hold, so I buried the pipe and will wait until tomorrow for a final judgment. If all goes well, we will not have a trail of mud down the front walkway!<\/p>\n

The doorbell started ringing at 9:00 AM as we have a handyman, Tom, coming over to install some bathroom cabinets; the curtain guru was scheduled to hang the new valances. Finally, the shuttle guy has four rooms where shutters are going to be added!\u00a0 The place is coming together!<\/p>\n

The shutters were put up on four of our large windows, and they really look good.\u00a0 I am happy to control the light in the office because of the computer screens.\u00a0 Now I don’t have to hand my underwear over the windows at night, yeah!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Now we can control the light with ease.<\/p><\/div>\n

The valances in the family room and kitchen were installed, and they came out perfect.\u00a0 Our designer has a great eye for colors and materials!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The valances are strong and can support some of Mary’s collection of coffee cups!<\/p><\/div>\n

I finished off the electrical plugs in the bathroom, and I had to take each plug out and redo them.\u00a0 The ol’ eyes play tricks on me these days.\u00a0 I did NOT give up as I was going to do it myself or else!<\/p>\n

We had dinner reservations at 4:00 PM at Patty’s, but the shuttle guys didn’t leave until 3:45 PM, so we called Robin and Chuck, telling them our situation. Our bar stools were reserved, and we had a great dinner.\u00a0 We took a quick snap of the sunset before we departed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The sunset was most interesting!<\/p><\/div>\n

Off to Patty’s to meet with Robin.\u00a0 We took the hot rod to give Precious a little run on the freeway.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Dining at Patty’s Place<\/p><\/div>\n

We drove home and had a glass of wine before crashing.\u00a0 Mary and I went to the neighbors to deliver some tomatoes, but they were out for a walk.\u00a0 We talked to Jeff for a while, and then the people came in our direction.\u00a0 We introduced ourselves.\u00a0 Mary told them she was “the greengrocer.”\u00a0 \u00a0The lady is about to be a mommy for the first time, so we mentioned that Mary was an MD should they have any issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
