We went to Santa Fe. Bought DVD player and Star Wars comforter at Target. DVD player is to hook up to new 22"-diagonal Sony flat screen TV for bedroom. This was husband's idea. I was deliriously happy with the Magnavox 14" old-style picture tube TV because it did what I needed it to do - record Dr. Oz, get KNME and play DVDs.
Afterward, we went to Trader Joe's where I spent quality time in the produce department. In the parking lot is where spouse tripped and sprained his ankle as he stepped off the sidewalk. He's practicing RICE - rest, ice, compression and elevation.
I called my friend of the big trees of LA county fame and set up a hot date to meet her tomorrow to go fondle big trees - actually, the fondling is peripheral to taking their photos, measuring the spread of their branches and looking for more specimens.
I wanted to go with her this weekend since the opportunity presented itself because husband can't hike with me tomorrow. That way I can go with my train-trestle-hopping friend's two women's hiking groups on Monday and Tuesday. My big tree friend was all ready with a chore for me to do on those two hikes anyway - measure the branch spread of two big trees in Valle Canyon. I will be making myself useful at the same time as having fun.
We invited daughter and her family over for supper tonight - sashimi grade tuna steaks, sweet potatoes, sushi purchased at TJ's (white rice - yuck!), and a salad of romaine, cucumber, green onion, tomatoes and avocado and fruit for dessert.
Oh, yesterday train-trestle-hopping friend spotted an area with monkshood flowering right alongside the Calzada Trail. That girl has good eyes!!
