Cherry on top of the day.


At the beach one more time.

And a good morning to you all. It seems that my old laptop is now ready to work. I just hope I can get used to it. 

We, son and me, are in Huntington Beach and things are going well. The problem with this computer, the not being able to post yesterday, and with just the simple fact of what we are here to do. 

I overslept Friday morning, that in itself was enough to warrant alarm bells to go off. Anyway, up and at them. Had to get packed, brushed my teeth, pack, (which for me is clean underwear and a toothbrush). 

When I went out to open the garage door, there he was, just getting ready to call me to let me know he was here. Timing was, for that moment, good. Packed Tweety, swapped parking places and off we went. 

Son is a jabber jawed individual. It is hard for him to not talk. He has a quick mind, and because it is just us, I am the target of his monologue. We get our phones hooked up with Tweety's entertainment program, and we have music and some of his pod cast to listen to. 

The biggest surprise to us, is the gas milage Tweety is getting. Over 25mpgs. Took us just over 11 hours to make the trip. We might have been here sooner, but then again, it was fine. On the freeway, there was an accident which slowed things down. We well more than likely make the trip home in less time. 

Found our home away from home, unpacked, and headed for beach. To walk the pier and get something to eat. All in all, it was a good day. 

I'm going to pick up my youngest is a few hours. She is looking forward to spending time with me. We are going to the Laguna Beach Sawdust Festival. Then up to the beach, walk the pier with her, another memory remembered and created. Just spend the day with her. 

Last night was a time of remembrance. After we walked the pier, we went to get something to eat. Because of Covid, there is a lot more outside dining. The restaurant we choose had a young girl sing on the street. She was very good, and during her break, I asked her to if she knew John Legend's "All of me."? She did, and I asked her to sing it. It is such a perfect song about my Sweetie, and where we were, what we were doing, it was the cherry on the top of the day. 

It is Saturday morning, and I'm rested, and feeling good. The new arch supports are working very well, and I'm looking forward to the day. Driver is waiting for me, and what we have planned. Dementia Town is so vast, that it encompasses a part of the coast. I did not know that. With the sea breeze, and salty air, with Sweetie alive in my heart, we will once more spend the day together. Shiny Side Up, for sure. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless. Arthur.

A fitting farewell.

When we were young. I've been rummaging around and found this picture of Sweetie and me. We had been married for about a year when this...
