\"\"Who, me getting grumpy?\u00a0 In a single word, yes!\u00a0 When I get up in the morning, that is the best I will feel all day!<\/p>\n

Today, we had a free morning and afternoon, and we knew that our cleaning staff would arrive around 2:30 pm.\u00a0 So, we decided to spend some time in our garden.\u00a0 Mary finished planting the last of everything we bought yesterday, and I added another Concord grape plant to the vineyard.<\/p>\n

\"\"

I was tending the garden!<\/p><\/div>\n

When the ladies came, we visited for a few minutes and then headed down Tustim Blvd to find some missing plants, mainly zucchini, pears, and squash.\u00a0 We hit the jackpot at the Laguna Hills Nursery!\u00a0 They had a wide selection of good-looking veggies at a reasonable price!\u00a0 Read about them here.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"

It’s an excellent place to shop; they seem to have everything!<\/p><\/div>\n

We brought our new babies home and made them ready for Thursday morning planting or perhaps Friday morning if the wind kicks up as it is forecasted.<\/p>\n

\"\"

More to plant.<\/p><\/div>\n

We have dancing tonight!<\/p>\n

Mary whipped up a pre-dance dinner, suggesting a salad.\u00a0 I mentioned that I would cook up a chili size if she got the chili ready.\u00a0 We had a deal.\u00a0 While cooking, we talked to Colleen and ate dinner at 5:30 pm.<\/p>\n

\n

Did You Know?\u00a0 <\/strong>A chili burger (also known as a chili size, or simply size, stemming from “hamburger size”) is\u00a0a type of hamburger<\/b>.\u00a0 It consists of a hamburger, with the patty topped with chili con carne.\u00a0 It is often served open-faced, and sometimes the chili is served alongside the burger rather than on top.<\/p>\n

Why do they call it chili size?\u00a0 This dish is said to take its name from the “hamburger size” ladle that legendary Los Angeles chili parlor proprietor Ptomaine Tommy used decades ago to spoon chili over the open-face burgers they served.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"

Homemade Chili Size!<\/p><\/div>\n

Everything except the mushroom was from our garden!\u00a0 Seeing this beautiful salad made me think, “How do nudists like to have their salad?” The answer is obvious: ” They prefer to have it without dressing.”<\/p>\n

\"\"

Salad from the garden<\/p><\/div>\n

My partner in crime and I demolished dinner, knowing full well we would work it off dancing within the hour.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Yummy, so was dinner.<\/p><\/div>\n

We traveled about five miles to a fantastic dance venue.\u00a0 Although the room could have been a gym, the hardwood floor made it ideal.\u00a0 The live band played an excellent mix of dance music.\u00a0 As we are all a bit “old,” their song selections were short, so no one needed to catch their breath after each dance.<\/p>\n

For $7.00, we hear live music, and people bring in “snacks.”\u00a0 Tonight, we munched on donuts, cookies, and other goodies.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Just down the road a bit.<\/p><\/div>\n

The line dance got underway, and many people were up and going.\u00a0 Mike was dressed for the occasion, and Mary was right behind him.\u00a0 I will re-learn the line dance, which I could do several years ago.\u00a0 Sue’s health kept us from line dancing, and I lost my ability.\u00a0 Line dancing is fun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I made up for not lime dancing when the band played some Texas Two-Step, and Mary and I walked, twirled, swirled, and sasshade the floor, stepping right out!\u00a0 I needed my cowboy boots and twenty-gallon hat to go over my ten-gallon head!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Mary, in the back, loves the dance.<\/p><\/div>\n

Our friends at the next table enjoyed the show!\u00a0 We will see them again on Saturday at the Elks and Sundat at Starlighters.\u00a0 It’s going to be a green weekend.<\/p>\n

\"\"

We had six tables full of dancers.<\/p><\/div>\n

I have been practicing my jog and am ready to go both evenings.!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Look out for loose parts!<\/p><\/div>\n

We were there!\u00a0 I do have to train some of our friends to use the iPhone camera!<\/p>\n

\"\"

…and wearing the green!<\/p><\/div>\n

A few of our dance friends.\u00a0 Two of them are dance instructors; guess who?<\/p>\n

\"\"

Ffiends.<\/p><\/div>\n

A little AI, and we were off to Ireland.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Off to Ireland<\/p><\/div>\n

We returned home and watched our alien series until 11:15 pm when we fell asleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
