My 89th Birthday

This morning at 11:00 am we went to Denny's for my Birthday meal but Denny's was closed for cleaning. So we went over to IHOP which I received a stack of pancakes. We each ordered a meal and I had the 55+ Rise & Shine! At 1:00 pm we went to Hand and Foot. There were five of us so we had to play single -- Marianna, Mary, Rosalie, Ethel and myself. The ladies brought cards and cupcakes to celebrate my birthday.

At 4:00 pm we went to the Escondido Mall. Lovely and I went to Sears for my cologne and Ethel, Alan and the kids went to the Apple Store to check on Ethel's iPad. Lovely and I walked down to meet up with them. I used my walker and it was nice and cool inside the mall for a walk.  We then went to Black Angus for dinner. Lovely registered me in the Prime Club, so I received a coupon for a free steak dinner and dessert. What a great birthday!

Family Time at Alden's

We went to RBCC this morning and we spent time in the patio at church as they were serving soft shell tacos. I had an upset stomach so I rested most of the afternoon then we left at 3:30 pm to go to Alden's for dinner. There was a house full of family members and I didn't know it was going to be a celebration of Alan's 60th and my 89th birthday.

Alden and Gina prepared such a delicious dinner.

I didn't take pictures of the BBQ chicken and the baked potatoes and all the other things they prepared.

After dinner we went over the paperwork of my Will and my Trust. We didn't get home until about 10:00 pm.

Shopping

Today was Ethel's turn for washing clothes. Lovely and Abby polished my car, looks like new except for a few dents O well it is 15 years old, but still is a great car for us. We cleaned the TV cabinet of many things we don't use. Alan took out the Panasonic unit as it doesn't work, I don't know what will become of it.
Lovely, Ethel, Abby and I went shopping at Wal-Mart and Cost-Co, we were going to get pizza there but it was a hour wait so we ended up having things from our Freezer. Hailey came over and She and Abby were going to an event at the convention center tonight.

Family Time

This morning I set up the crock pot with a pork roast. Then I went to Albertson's for veggies to put in and make a stew. I also checked things on my new Apple cell phone. Did my Bible reading.  We had sandwiches for lunch. This afternoon Ethel and I played a few games of Rummy-Q . Ethel won 3 games and I won 2 games. This evening we had a delicious dinner of stew. Alan, Lovely, Isaiah and Abby went to RBCC to watch From Pit to Palace, a production from the Fine Arts Academy at the church.

Fun Time

Today we went to Alden's to pick up Paige, Isaiah and Abby as they went to midnight bowling last night. Hailey was too tired from her weekend trip to Las Vegas. We went to Seaport Village for a few hours then we went over to "The Boat House" for their lobster dinner. It was a great dinner. On our way home while driving by the San Diego Bay we viewed many sail boats on the water. It was so beautiful. Then we took Paige home and we returned home. Alan was our tour guide. "Thanks Alan!"

Today's tasks

Today was a day of just filing in with things here and there. Lovely made tortillas with cheese and lunch meat for lunch. Ethel and I went to Hand and Foot. There was five of us so we could not play as partners. Mary was the big winner. For dinner Lovely made a green salad and a hot dish. Later in the evening Isaiah, Abby, Ethel and I played Rummy-Q.

Hair Cut and Other Things

We had a rest day... In the morning Ethel and I went and got our hair trimmed.

Lovely made a great stir fry for lunch. We made a big green salad and salmon with boiled eggs for sandwiches for dinner. The weather went up to 89 degrees but was still quite comfortable without the AC. We only used the fans. Abby is still down at Alden's. Alan and Isaiah went to the library and Lovely walked down to Albertson's for a few things including bananas for me as I had leg cramps last night.
