First Happy Veteran's Day. I know it's kind of towards the tail end of the day itself but I remembered to text my brothers, both ex-Marines with good wishes and gratitude for serving their country. I also sent a thank you to my dear friend Charles who served in Korea and worked with me at the funeral home. He's an embalmer and has a birthday coming up this Saturday, I believe he'll be 69! He always regaled us with many stories of his military life and for that I will be eternally grateful to him.
I met up with my sister after work today. She had the day off and had lots of appointments, including one to get her hair cut, in Bakersfield so she was still around when I got off work and we went to JC Penneys at the Mall. I had originally planned to buy myself something pretty but I was pretty tired and not really in the mood to shop.
But we went and had a very nice dinner at Coco's Restaurant. We tried their Fried Green Bean appetizer and they were almost as good as the one's at PF Changs. They just needed the spicy sauce PF Changs serves with them. I had the Chicken Tortilla Soup with a Green Salad and my sissy-poo had their Asian Chicken Salad. The food was great and the company was even better. Thanks Sis!

ReplyDeleteI see you've had a great Veteran's Day, the highlight of which was the dinner with your beloved sister. Glad you enjoyed yourself.
I like it that you have first showed your gratitude to your brothers and former coworker for their proud service for their country.
Thank you Duta! I'm pretty happy to be at 100...it took a while as I've been blogging since May, 2008. I'm very proud of my brothers and of all Veterans. Charles holds a special place in my heart as he's the oldest Veteran that I personally know.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the big 100! I have not gotten there yet! I appreciate our veterans too.
