Running Out of Time . . .
While Jan and I were sitting outside yesterday with our coffee and enjoying the view, I got this shot of our local Roseate Spoonbill, “Rosie”. A beautiful bird.

And Lowell send over this photo from the Valentine’s Day party at Landon’s daycare.
He says these are his ‘girlfriends’. Looks like they think so too.
Yesterday was another scramble to try and wrap up client ‘stuff’ as much as possible, so I hit the ground running pretty early. And it was rush, rush, rush all day.
But I finished up everything with one client and almost everything with the last one. Just a couple of small things that I’ll handle on Saturday.
So then after a stop at Brandi’s for the mail, and dropping off some stuff at the storeroom, I finally headed home about 5:30pm. And about 6:15 Jan and I headed up to Pasadena to have dinner with our friend Barbara, her fiancé, Tom, and their friend Doug.
And as usual with our get-togethers, the food was good, the conversation was great, and the wine flowed freely, some might say ‘too’ freely, which is why we didn’t get home until midnight, and you didn’t get a blog yesterday.
But we had a blast. So there.
Today started off pretty much like yesterday, coffee outside, and then rush, rush, rush. But today was different because Jan was with me.
Leaving about 11pm, our first stop was Fry’s Electronics for a couple of client things. And then after taking care of the last of the client stuff, we made a stop at Home Depot for some shelf brackets.
A couple of our bedroom cabinet shelves are missing a support or two, so I wanted to get that fixed.
Then, next up was a stop at Sally Beauty Supply for Jan, and then the Target right next door, along with the ULTA across the parking lot.
Like I said, busy, busy, busy, rush, rush, rush.
But our next stop was much more relaxing, a late lunch at our favorite Chinese place, King Food, with our longtime friends, Bob and Maria. And it was so relaxing that we got there at 3pm and didn’t leave until about 7.
It’s hard to believe we had this much to talk about.
But finally we said our goodbyes, and got our hugs, and then headed off to another restaurant.
Yep, you read it right. We went from one restaurant right to another one. But we had a good reason.
Well, besides more food.
We getting the whole family together tomorrow night at King Food for a final meal before we hit the road on Monday. Well, the ‘whole’ family, except for Miss Piper, who has to work tomorrow night.
So we were going to stop by Sam’s Boat, the restaurant / grill / sports bar where she works to see her one last time.
But when we got there, she said she had be able to get night off after all, so she would be at dinner tomorrow night. Great!
So now we didn’t need to stay and eat, right?
Wrong! But we did just have a couple of appetizers, i.e., a dozen raw oysters, and 10 mango habanero hot wings.
I mean, we had to order something so we could leave Piper a big tip, right?
And the good food there had nothing to do with it, right?
Right?
Finally after getting a picture of these two beautiful girls, we headed home,wrapping up another busy day. One more to go.
On a final note, my great-niece Stahlie posted some more of fabulous computer artwork.
This young lady has some real talent.
