Anyway, life goes on and we are keeping busy! Last Friday Ted treated me to a day at Viejas with Jeri Gutowski while he babysat Sophie as a pre-birthday gift! He and Sophie did fine and I had a good day at Viejas with Jeri. I started off just putting in money, getting nothing in return! Then I finally hit a machine and started some good luck coming my way. After paying for my lunch, I came home with a few more dollars than I went with, always a good thing. Jeri and I had a fun day and I got an early birthday gift from Jeri. I had gotten a watch with changeable watchbands. Jeri made two for me, one with turquoise beads and the other with colorful beads. They are really cute and were a nice surprise! I couldn't believe she made them!
Friday evening my friend Peggy Price made a birthday dinner for me, including cake! We had pork chops with a pesto sauce, roasted potatoes and yummy carrot cake with cream cheese frosting! We even brought some cake home with us. Everything was delicious and we had a good time with Peggy and her son Scott.
Ted had asked me where I would like to have my birthday dinner. When I was trying to decide, an ad for Outback came on the tv advertising king crab legs! Oh yeah, I was up for that! So we met Jeri, her son Tony, his wife Gina, and their son Trent there. Yes I ate the whole thing, 1 1/4 lbs of king crab legs and they were delicious! We had a fun time and when the birthday ice-cream came, I passed it on to Trent whose birthday was the day before...almost twins! Lol Jeri had a few more presents for me and I loved them, especially a black Paris hoodie with lots of bling! It is really pretty! I had a great birthday! And best of all I turned 62 and will receive my first S.S. check in September!
On Saturday Trent had a baseball game in San Clemente. We didn't go because it would be too long for Sophie to be by herself and they don't allow dogs at that ball field. They won both games so were to play again on Sunday. On Sunday, Auntie Meg and her Golden Retriever, Rose, volunteered to babysit her so we could go to the ball game. Unfortunately we lost the first game 2-0. Trent pitched a great game but they just couldn't get their bats going. Trent had actually hit the ball on his one up at bat and everyone thought he was safe at first but the umpire called him out. After the game we all went to a local pizza party and had lunch. The kids were having a ball playing the games in the pizza place and had totally forgotten their loss!
So now you are probably saying, what no pictures of Sophie yet! So here are some pictures taken with poor Rose. Sophie jumped on her and wanted to play with her all day! Meg said she was a good little girl and when we got there she was laying on her pillow watching everything going on! She was so tired that not only did she sleep all the way home, all afternoon, evening and night! She was still mellow on Monday! Meg said Rose was pretty tired too! It's tiring trying to keep away from a little puppy all day long! Meg said Rose finally took her paw and popped Sophie on the top of her head to settle her down. It only worked for a little while!
Sophie following Rose (all day long)!
Sophie went to the vet on Monday and got another set of shots. The vet says she thinks Sophie will be about 25 lbs and she's doing great! We hope she stays on the small size! This time they took her temperature under her arm, she liked that a lot better!
Yesterday we took the car to Sunrise Ford. We wanted them to check out the steering. The steering makes a noise when you turn all the way to the left or right. Also there is a lot of play in the steering, especially noticeable on concrete roads and its so light (especially compared to our truck) that it seems squirrely! We brought Sophie with us knowing we would be gone quite awhile. We were up at 5:30 and left by 6:30 a.m. We got there around 7:30. We were there until 11:30 and Sophie sat on the couch between us and people watched the whole time! She was such a good girl! Oh and the steering is fine, Donald said his is like that too, just the way its made. They did some lubricating and the turning noise seems to be gone! Here's Sophie keeping her eyes on everyone!
Last night we had dinner at Filippe's in Escondido with Ted's former classmate Rusty Coole. We had a good Filippe's pizza and antipasto salad and got caught up with Rusty. It's always fun to see him.
Today Sophie is getting a bath and we are going to visit our friend Sally Black. She lives in Rainbow and we are going to have dinner at a little restaurant in town!
