If we are up, you need to be up!<\/p><\/div>\n

The sun rose, and so did we. We stumbled into the kitchen for our coffee and convinced ourselves that a five-hour workout was a good idea. The poor little cart named after\u00a0 Mary got more exercise today than we did, as we filled it up and dumped it several times. After all that heavy lifting, the cart might need a massage and a spa day!<\/p>\n

The two-wheeled cart delivered bags of mulch and potting soil to the various sites around the yard.<\/p>\n

\"\"

We started early.<\/p><\/div>\n

When Joe, Amy, and the gang invaded our pool, we had to scramble to hide the inflatable flamingo and the giant rubber ducky. The water was a toasty 84 degrees, courtesy of Mother Nature’s relentless heatwave. Apollo, the water-crazy grand dog, made quite the splash alongside Scout. They zoomed around the yard until Scout threw in the towel and dashed back indoors to the sweet embrace of the air conditioning.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Apollo loves the water!<\/p><\/div>\n

Dang, it was 4:00 pm, and they had to go home. Mary fixed some bruschetta and pigs in a blanket for snacks, and we loaded the portable ice chest full of drinks and lemonade for Joe. Poor Joe, always needing his lemonade fix!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Darn, time to go home?<\/p><\/div>\n

They exited the yard via the side yard as they were still wet after spending more than two hours in the pool!<\/p>\n

\"\"

We had a wonderful visit!<\/p><\/div>\n

After they departed, we took a twenty-minute power nap and then got ready to join our next-door neighbors, Jim and Dorris, for dinner at Dynasty Chinese Restaurant in Orange.<\/p>\n

We learned that dining in Chinese style means everyone orders an entree, which is placed in the center of the table, and you eat whatever you like. That way, everyone can try their own plus something new!<\/p>\n

\"\"

We enjoyed their company and got to know them after being neighbors for three years.<\/p><\/div>\n

I ordered the beef, Mary did the Bok Choy with Mushrooms, Jime got the fried rice, and they got everything else.\u00a0 It was a feast!<\/p>\n

\"\"

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

We texted Jeff to see what he would like, as his mobility is limited.\u00a0 He got BBQ-style pork fried rice, which Jim delivered to him on the porch.<\/p>\n

When we got home, we brought our evening glass of wine to Jeff’s front porch and talked to him until the Sun went down.\u00a0 We enjoy his company!<\/p>\n

Mary loves people and she can talk to anyone about most anything plus she is funny and engaging.\u00a0 Not a day goes by that I thank the Good Lord that we found each other and are having so much fun living our our days together.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Am I a lucky man or what??<\/p><\/div>\n

I have six months and this will be my modus operandi!<\/p>\n
