Sad Fact: 30 years ago, America was the leader in the quantity and quality of high school diplomas, and today, our nation is ranked 36th in the world.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

5:30 AM, and the Alexa goes off!\u00a0 What?\u00a0 Saturday morning and Alexa is having a conniption fit!\u00a0 Oh, then I remember; it was Mary’s day to go to school, and she was off to Newport beach to spend a day learning about the latest in eye medicine and surgeries.<\/p>\n

Scout and I made coffee for her, and then Scout went outside to walk the property and make sure no elephants had snuck in during the night!\u00a0 After a few minutes, I looked for Scout and was met by a surprise.\u00a0 Not only did he find an elephant, but he and the elephant were also sitting in a tree!<\/p>\n

\"\"

I was shocked!<\/p><\/div>\n

I shook my head and went back inside, where there was a tad of normalcy in the air.\u00a0 Mary did her shower thing, and I got a fresh new pair of jeans so I could begin my list of work items to complete today.<\/p>\n

Mary blasted off at 7:30 AM en route to Newport for her CME symposia.\u00a0 On the other hand, I got out the “to-do” list and began working on it with the only stop being to grab a piece of pizza from the microwave!<\/p>\n

The phone rang at 4:30 PM, and Mary was leaving Newport with a mighty; hungry!\u00a0 I suggested Aces, and she was ready to do it.<\/p>\n

Last week, when Colleen and Mary were in the garage, I honked the horn, which scared them silly.\u00a0 Well, payback is a bitch.\u00a0 I was going into the house to get my iPhone, and MAry honked the horn, scaring me; I had to check to see if I was still dry!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Payback!<\/p><\/div>\n

We both had salads at Aces Bar and Grille because their produce is exceptionally fresh, and the steak or Salmon is always excellent; this evening was another roaring success.\u00a0 We played old music on their jukebox.<\/p>\n

\"\"

We were off to dinner at Aces.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Salmon was so good that we ordered another salad, but we asked for French fries and Salmon for Jan this time!<\/p>\n

We visited Jan for a good hour, relieving her overloaded closet of a bottle of wine!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Visiting Jan!<\/p><\/div>\n

Of course, Jan said,” I am not hungry,” but the fragrance of the Salmon was irresistible!\u00a0 Life is good when you have French fries and Salmon!!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Jan enjoyed her Salmon!<\/p><\/div>\n

We headed home and decided it was a spa night!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Warm water makes for great sleeping!<\/p><\/div>\n

I was pointing at the liquid libation because it was grape juice!<\/p>\n

\"\"

OMG, what a face!<\/p><\/div>\n

We crawled out of the spa and hit the sack; we were asleep ten minutes later!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
