…and that’s a fact!<\/p><\/div>\n

Today, I was able to fit 40 cubic feet of newly laundered clothes into teeney, tiny , mobile bags. However, I’m now confused as to why everything ended up wrinkled.<\/p>\n

Mine is tan; the rest are Mary’s!<\/p><\/div>\n

We stopped packing (translation: squeezing, stuffing, clamping, contorting, crushing, pressing, pressuring) our clothes into four tiny little suitcases *translation: steamer trunks).<\/p>\n

We prepared ourselves and arrived at the Elks for lunch with our group. We had a great time and discussed our activities from the previous week. The Catalina Swordfish was on sale, so we decided to share it, and it tasted incredible.<\/p>\n

\"\"

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

Today is an amazing day! The temperature is forecasted to be 85 degrees, which is ten degrees cooler than yesterday. The weather is so beautiful that the birds are flying backwards to see where they’ve been!<\/p>\n

\"\"

It was a magnificent day!<\/p><\/div>\n

Today, our usual group of people gathered at the Elks Lodge, ready to face the challenges of the day. During this time, George’s shoelaces came undone and we made sure to tie them tightly to prevent any accidents. We want to ensure everyone’s safety and well-being.<\/p>\n

Mary fixes George’s shoelaces!<\/p><\/div>\n

As we were leaving, we noticed that the front window was decorated with a Hawaiian theme, suggesting that something might be planned in the near future.<\/p>\n

The Elks are planning something Hawaiian in the near future.<\/p><\/div>\n

On our way back, we intended to drop by the drugstore but ended up deciding to make a stop at the “Assistance League” of Orange first. We have found amazing deals at the store while also contributing to those in need.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"

We found a leopard house coat, a dance pottery rooster, and a neat dish, all for $19!<\/p><\/div>\n

Mary planned to head home and pack immediately. However, the doctor advised her to take an hour-long nap before starting to pack.<\/p>\n

Mary keeps a detailed hour-by-hour schedule for her outfits, while I only have a simple wardrobe consisting of pants, shirts, socks, and underwear (none of them are required to match).\u00a0 My tuxedos are in shape and ready to go!<\/p>\n

\"\"

“I think I can; I think I can!”<\/p><\/div>\n

I have two suitcases; one for clothes and the other for shoes and electronics.\u00a0 I should have been a nudist!<\/p>\n

\"\"

I always remember we are going to America so anything I need I can buy!!<\/p><\/div>\n

We went to see Jeff, our kind neighbor, who will be keeping an eye on the house and helping Irene and our 35-year-old grandson, who is a deputy sheriff,\u00a0 who will take care of Scout and the house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
