Gary the Stucco Guy Speaks...

Gary and I have spent the whole weekend together so far. Actually, our togetherness started on Thursday night when we dined at The Blue Beet" with our friends, Terr-Bear and Bob. Terry is pictured here with Gary. You may recall that last summer we went on a vacation with two other couples. In our little gang of six, we had Terry, Barry and Gary. Pretty funny.

Back to our weekend together. Gary has been funnier than he's been in a long time. So much so that I've decided to start a journal called "The Wit & Wisdom of Gary the Stucco Guy," because he has so many funny things to say that we never remember. My intention is to write all of his quips down and of course, some of them will find their way to my blog. This weekend of togetherness has prompted some of the best of his worst...

"Husbands never have to remember because their wives will always remind them."

"I don't need to know all the answers because I have you..."

"Real men don't need a day planner because their women keep the itinerary."

"My mouth opens and her words and voice come out."

"Orange County women are like old cars - a little bondo, add some new paint, rub and polish the knobs to keep them shiny; but you can still only drive them occasionally."

"In Beverly Hills, a recession means buying your 16 year-old daughter a Lexus rather than a Hummer."

"Apparently in LA, the cheapest way to drive hands-free with your cell phone is to get a stretchy headband, sweatband or for evenings, a silk scarf, and put it on in a way that holds your cell phone to your ear. I've seen it more than once."

We went to see Mom yesterday at the rehab hospital. She was in pretty good spirits. We talked with her roommate, Sharon and Sharon's daughter, LuAnn. Turns out Tustin Rehab referred LuAnn to Silverado At Home for home care. They beat me to it! I was delighted to know that this hospital I've been to so many times in the past couple of months thinks highly of Silverado and our OC Silverado At Home rep, Karyn.

Off to spend more time with Gary the Stucco Guy at a South OC party. One thing I know for sure, he will have observations!
