Day 24: A shopping and eating and rainy day

With a local rainfall of 1.35 inches today it wasn't a day for outdoor activity. Hey, it even hailed a bit this afternoon.

But we both went out to do some shopping and dining. I continued shopping for a couple of hats and found one. He had hoped to find a baseball hat from Orange High School, where I last hurled the horsehide, but none of the local sporting goods stores carried them. Like the good sport that he is, Richard went along. At the mall there was a Sees Candies store. Sees is always a must- stop- at site when in CA. I picked up a couple of boxes of sugar-free peanut brittle - one for Dad and one for me.

Gail and Carol headed to search for a new purse for Gail, but apparently couldn't find the right one.

Relaxing at the Zaz home today has encompassed a jigsaw puzzle for the girls and watching Napoleon Dynamite for me. I'm starting to understand that movie and the true meaning of it's uncommon depth. Flippin' sweet.

Pancho's is a local Mexican restaurant here in Orange. Although it's been around for 30 years or more, we ate there today for just the second time. The generous portions were so great that both of us had to take part of our meals home in a box.

Dessert? Richard, Mario (Richard's son-in-law) and I made a run to Polly's and picked up apple and banberry (banana/strawberry with no sugar added) pies. If only Polly's would expand to the Outer Banks. Going to Polly's for a slice of pie was one of our favorite treats during our first year of marital bliss.



Now we're watching the last night of Olympic competetion. Tomorrow we'll go to CrossPointe Church in Yorba Linda, then after lunch with friends, to Disney's California Adventure for the first time. Don't you wish you lived ten minutes from Disneyland?

Gail here - It has taken me all day today to come down from the high I experienced last night when Elvis sang to me. What a thrill!
