24 August Tuesday

Well, today we all went out for breakfast after Fred had his baabaa (bottle). We visited a French bakery. What would ever possess us to want to visit a French bakery. Delicious croissant with ham and cheese. Bought some bread (bagette) to take home that was difficult to stop cutting into once dinner arrived. Afterwards Joe and Ellen went to get the car greased and oiled. We went with Fred to the grocery and maybe something else but I can't remember. Fred had lunch. Then we all went for a swim. Started out in the indoors pool where we had a wonderful time with Fred's ball. Then we graduated to the outdoors and despite the heat (106), it was really rather pleasant once you were in the water. Went back to the apartment and put Fred down for some quiet time.

Marlene and I went for a little treat at the Oasis so Joe and Ellen could have some quiet time. After leaving the Oasis and heading home Ellen called and asked if we could fix a little supper. We had grilled chicken with aioli sauce. Also black rice and grilled asparagus. Tasty.

Later on we went to the deli close to the complex and found some seven layer bars just like Marlene used to make.

All in all it was quite a pleasant day. Marlene and Joe and Fred and Honey all went for a moonlight walk before Fred disappeared into his bed.
