Not much to report today. Tina's not feeling well, she thinks she may have picked up something from the train or bus or the lady that was coughing and sneezing behind her at lunch. So we just took it easy, walking the kids, sitting in the sun and reading.
Wednesday the 17th
Another glorious morning, Tina's feeling a little better. Don and Diane drove down from LA and arrived around 11:20 AM. We had a really nice visit then it happened!! Surprise!!
Diane presented Tina with her Christmas present. It was a beautiful hand made blue and yellow summer tote bag that looked like it came from Provence, France! Inside were a really beautiful pair if Dragonfly earrings, a Dragonfly pin, Dragonfly stickers, and some iron on embroidered Dragonfly appliques!!
Then it was my turn to be surprised as Don presented me with my very own set of special gifts all wrapped up in a beautiful black fishnet stocking!
Reaching inside I slowly removed a series of alien items including a small container of Galactic Putty, suitable for patching small micro meteorite punctures (in the hull of our Warp Drive ship of course), a beautiful Burlwood Box containing a "Round To It", a small, hand painted box with one of my lost marbles, a Decision Coin with "eat in" on one side and "eat out" on the other, a small multi-hued pastel candy cane and my very own "Marvin the Martian" license plate that says, "My other Car Is A Rocket Ship". Way tooo coooool!!!After laughing and joking our way through our receipt of these surprise gifts, I went into the bedroom and grabbed a small bag which I brought out and handed to Don. He gingerly reached in and what do you think he pulled out?
A small container of Galactic Putty!! Heheheh!! Followed by his very own alien egg ready to be hatched!! Great minds do think alike - heh, heh!!
After a lot of laughter we walked over to the Galley for lunch. Sitting on the outside deck we could enjoy the sunshine while looking out over the marina. Don, Diane and I had Fish and Chips which were really, really good. Tina had a delicious Chicken Gorgonzola Salad with walnuts and sliced apples.Walking back along the marina we returned to the coach and continued our visit but soon it was time to say good bye as it's a two plus hour drive back to LA. We promised to get together when we get to Hemet and waved as they drove away. What a nice time we had!!
The rest of the day we just hung out letting Tina continue with her recovery.
