Happy Birthday, Paul!

Hi, Ya'll!




Last night, we took the birthday boy out to the other side of town to celebrate his 69th birthday. He wanted to go to the Outback Steakhouse, and so off we went with Ellen at the wheel. We were cruising down the freeway in the left lane when all of a sudden Sharon saw a car up ahead spinning out. It was a scary thing. Apparently, another car clipped the one we saw spinning. Luckily, no one was hurt, and we continued on our way. As soon as we got to the restaurant, we were greeted by a really nice waitress who brought our drinks quickly.

Of course, Paul got his three olive vodka martini, and the girls got their glasses of
Chardonnay.

The food was great. As usual, we shared one entree. Paul needed a carry-out box for his left-overs. Here is the birthday boy with his birthday dessert. He also ordered a piece of chocolate cake with raspberry filling to take home!

After dinner, we headed back to our side of town and Paul opened his presents. It was a fun evening. Happy Birthday, Paul!

We haven't posted lately because Sharon had to take her computer to the computer doctor. Fortunately, the doctor was able to save her documents, pictures, etc. Tomorrow, she is going to pick up the computer and take it home. The doctor said that there was an operating system error. He was able to wipe the slate clean, reinstall the operating system, and maybe the wireless router will now work. Just maybe she will be able to use the laptop in the kitchen and the bedroom.

Ellen has returned to work, so she doesn't have as much time to get on the computer as she has had this summer. The air-conditioner at school is laughable. It is the old swamp cooler, otherwise known as an evaporative cooler. We are all hoping that the humidity goes away soon because the swamp cooler should not be called air-conditioning.

Until next time ........
