17 October 2024
The temperature dropped down to 69°F last night. Winter is officially here! OK, maybe not but it’s the first time in the 60’s in a very long time. We’ll probably see our “winter” more likely in November but the rest of October may be tolerable.
Movie night last night was It Happened on 5th Avenue, a 1947 release so it’s officially one year older than I am. It stars Don Defore, Ann Harding, Charlie Ruggles, Victor Moore, Gale Storm and Alan Hale (Gilligan’s Island fame). It’s considered a classic Christmas movie (we started a little early) and it brings home the story of no housing available for veterans of WWII at the end of the war. Charlie Ruggles (one of my favorite actors) plays Charlie Ruggles. Tucker got sufficient treats during the movie and I got sufficient wine. Good selection, Chris!
I took Kurt for his wellness check with his GP this morning. He’ll get blood results tomorrow but things look good. Afterwards, we had lunch at J Marks. For an appetizer we had Bam Bam shrimp which came out the size of an entrée. I had chicken fingers and Kurt had the Oriental chicken salad. Both were supposedly “lunch” size items but Kurt’s salad was huge and I was fully stuffed with chicken fingers by the end of the meal.
Kurt needed to pick up a prescription at Walgreens and unfortunately we drove by the drive through at the time they are closed for lunch. We then took a leisurely drive down A1A until the time the pharmacy reopened, picked up the prescription and then got him home in time for his physical therapy appointment. It was a great morning and early afternoon. Windy, decent temperature, overcast.
After I got home, I took a nap and I plan a binge of some of Emily in Paris.
Stay tuned!
