Chips

What was today about?  Chips.......we drove to the Indian Casino. It is only an hours drive from here.  We played 21, poker and slots.  We played all afternoon.  We had the buffet there. It was so good.  We ate prime rib, lobster, shrimp, cabbage, sweet potatoes and a lot more but that's not all.......they has sugar free desserts.  I was so excited, i got to have dessert. And it was all free.  We signed up for the players club and the buffet was free.  We made up for it in gambling though.  Fun day.  It is hard to believe tomorrow is the last day here.  It has been so fun hanging out all week with my best buddy.

On the docket

Forgot to post this yesterday.........here it is

The weather is a tad cooler today.  Sooooooo Today we went sightseeing.  This area is really beautiful.  We drove the coastline.  Art thought it would be fun to drive the Coronado bridge.  Holy stroke.....I mean smokes Myrna.  It is sooooo high up.  I didn't enjoy it at all. I was ready to have stroke.   Glad it didn't bother Art at all. Then we went to see the  temple.  WOW!   It is incredibly beautiful.  It looks like a castle.  We walked around the grounds.  They were in the process of planting flowers.

Then we went across the road to a shopping center.  Yes I did get some new shoes.  A cute pair of Pumas. Art got a dash holder for his phone.  After that we drove up to Cabrillo Point.  Talk about million dollar views.  They have a little museum, theater, gift shop, and lighthouse. The lighthouse was cool.  It was set up like it was in the 1800s.

We had dinner at the Marina.  It reminded us both of the Marina in Seattle. Our waitress was a bit of a dipity do but that is part of the charm of it.......right?

We thought we were so clever

Today was a leisure day. We hung out all morning at the pool. We had a quick lunch at a restraunt by the condo.  It was fun hanging out.  The Buddy called to wish us a Happy Anniversary and asked what we were going to do tonight. We told him we were going to Red Lobster for dinner. His reply was precious.  He laughed and said "really?".  He said we could go there at home, we should go some place different but it was up to us.  He mentioned an area we could go that had some good places. We talked it over and agreed with him.  So we made reservations at a really nice restaurant in the area he told us about.   It was really fancy.  The wait staff all wore tuxedos.  We  thought we were so clever so we texted him from the restaurant.  The meal was delicious.  We enjoyed it immensly.  The waiter brought us a complimentary dessert for our anniversary and told us he had really good news for us and it was bigger then free dessert.   Art said oh my maybe you should sit down to tell us.  He said it was so big he had better and sat down.  Then he said your son called and paid the bill. Holy smokes Myrna!! He and MK picked up the bill for us.  It was so sweet and we were so surprised! We thought we were so clever but they were the clever ones. A big thanks to them!!   Now we are off to celebrate..........good night.

25 Years Ago Today

It is so hard to believe but 25 years ago today, I married my best friend. Art and I dated for 2 1/2 years.   In that time we became best friends.  I knew he always had my back and I had his.  Not only did he marry me but Mrs Doctor and The Buddy.  The four of us became a family. It has not been an easy ride for Art.  He has nursed me through many life long illness.  Always with a loving smile. He has been an awesome provider and protector.  There is no one I would rather share my life with.  He is the first person I think of to share every moment of my life.  He loves it when I relive stories and tell them to him........ Oh wait I love to relive stories and tell to him........he is not such a fan but he listens intently anyway. We have had a lot fun together. He makes me laugh and brings so much laughter and joy into my life. I really thought I loved him when we got married but compared to how much I love him now it wasn't much back then. Who knew you could love someone that much more. To him I say thanks for always loving me.  I love you Art!! Happy Anniversary!  Here is to the next 25.

Just a little funny from yesterday.............

While Art and I were in line to see one of the shows yesterday, we started chatting with a lady there with her three kids.  While we were visiting, I noticed her son (probably about 6 or 7) was looking at me with a puzzled look. Finally he said to his mom "why does she have gray hair?"   Hahahaha. I said because I stopped coloring and because I am old. He frowned and said to his mom " she doesn't look old."    Cute kid!

Great Day

What an awesome day!!  I had a rough night so Art thought maybe we should lay low today but I didn't want a day wasted because of me so we kept our plans.  We spent 12 hours at SeaWorld.  It was so much fun.   We walked our legs off.  I have a blister on each foot.  Art said his feet were wanting the can opener.  All the shows were excellent  but I have to say I enjoyed the Blue Horizon the best.  It had a little bit of everything.....dolphins, whales, birds, divers, acrobats.  We stayed until the bitter end. We were going to go home early but we just hung in there. The fireworks at the end were just splendid.  We watched Shamu rock the night.  I love watching all the dolphins. Art got a new hat and I got a new dolphin shirt and dolphin bag. We bought an insulated drink cup and we got free water fills.  That was nice because bottled water was $3.50.  The weather was just right.  Oh what a fun day....but I am ready for bed.

I Went To China..........almost

Today was a beautiful day. It rained last night and was a little overcast until about noon but then it was bright and sunny.  We had a leisurely morning. We decided to go on a harbor tour.  The tour was about two hours.  The first hour the tour there was about 500 people and it was about 98% Asian. We got on the boat and there was a guy from Colorado and a couple of other folks and us and everyone else was Asian.  They tour was nice but the people on the tour were the rudest people I have ever come across.  They would push and shove to get a picture, they would step on you.  I couldn't believe it.  We listened to everything in English and Mandarin. The guy who spoke Mandarin was super quiet and spoke really slow.   It reminded me of a women's conference I went to. Only at the conference we went to Jerusalem....almost.  this time we went to China......almost.  The second half of the tour there was probably 300 people and everyone' was pleasant and respectful of one another. Art and I both got sunburned.  I have a nice farmers tan and Art's face is pretty red.

After the tour we walked across the parking lot and toured the USS Midway. It was an aircraft carrier. All I can say is WOW!  It was so cool.  We were there for several hours.  I realized there is no way I could have gone out on a ship for 3-6 months at a time.  We had directions to help us find our way around, I am not sure how the navy guys found their way around.  The ship was huge. It took us hours to see all we could and we didn't go everywhere. But it was sure fun and all the volunteers were so knowledgeable  and nice.

We had lunch down on the harbor.  I ordered onion rings and um um they were so good.  The only downside was they gave me a bunch and I mean a bunch.  I felt bad I couldn't eat them all especially since they were soooooo good.

We did a lot of walking today. I think we will sleep good tonight.
