Every time I get on my bathroom scale, it says, “One at a time, please!”<\/p><\/div>\n

We waited until 9:00 am to call the Elks and get reservations for Saturday night featuring prime rib and Ronnie the DJ.\u00a0 So far we have the Z’s, the K’s,\u00a0 the C’a and us planning to attend. We hope Robin will join us as Bob has a gig in Santa Monica that evening.<\/p>\n

There were eleven of us today, as the Ashs joined us, along with Sydney and her dad. We had a wonderful time once we got there! It took 40 minutes to drive to the Elks today because they closed off the Katella entrance to the freeway. We had to wait seven lights just to get onto Tustin, and then we went down side streets to 17th Street.<\/p>\n

The gang is all here!<\/p><\/div>\n

After lunch, we stopped at the hospital to see David.\u00a0 Mary went up to visit, and I stayed in the lobby.\u00a0 He is hanging in there, but his condition is deteriorating slowly.\u00a0 We are looking into the next couple of months to ensure we are available for Dianne when she needs us.<\/p>\n

After returning home, we took a short nap before Robin came to join us.\u00a0 At 4:30 pm, we were up, alert, and ready to take on the day!<\/p>\n

We called Jeff to make sure the porch light was lit and shining like a UFO landing pad. So, naturally, we wandered over and ended up having a marathon chat with him for an hour. By the time we left, we were sure the porch light had burned out from exhaustion.<\/p>\n

We decided to go into our house via the front door (not the garage) to show Robin our latest sign!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Mary’s new sign.<\/p><\/div>\n

We called Bob on the Bat phone and chatted with him for about twenty minutes.\u00a0 This also allowed Robin to see what we see when we call her!<\/p>\n

\"\"

I love the propeller!<\/p><\/div>\n

I should have mentioned that Vicky dropped by at 4:45 because the ladies (Mary, Robin, and Vicky)\u00a0 were planning my surprise 80th birthday party.\u00a0 The past eighty years on this planet had been a joy ride, and now I am subjected to Mary, who keeps track of my age on the wall!<\/p>\n

\"\"

My 80th is coming up, and they are tormenting me!<\/p><\/div>\n

The weather was so lovely that we decided to head to the firepit, ignite it, and indulge in two solid marshmallows each! Yep, we might have consumed about 220 calories, but hey, it was totally worth it for those perfectly roasted treats!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Marshmallow time!<\/p><\/div>\n

It was 10:00 p.m., and we all crashed!\u00a0 If all goes well, tomorrow is the OC Fair!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
