Lovely Day

Today was such a lovely day. The sun was up. The sky was blue. Maureen mentioned that she wanted to take John for a walk in the park. I decided to join them. For me, that was quite a feat since I loathe the fresh air. Anywho, we decided to stop into Ralph's to pick up some sandwiches and have a picnic. We were quite pleasantly surprised with the deals at the Ralph's deli. The sandwich combo is $6.99 (big sandwich, chips, and a drink).

So, we walked across the street to the main Park La Brea complex. We call it the right side of the tracks. They have all sorts of things that you won't find on our side of Hauser. We planted ourselves in a patch of grass next to the fountain on Burnside Circle. John wasn't too sure of his surroundings and was a little less than enthusiastic at first. I think he takes after me in that respect. As time moved on, he grew more comfortable with nature and started to enjoy himself.

He had his lunch al fresco. I don't think he quite understood that he was supposed to eat at this time, so he may need to eat outside a few more times before he gets the gist of it. We'll have to do more of it as time goes on and he's able to run around. There's even a bocce ball court. it won't be long before John and I play father/son tournaments against old men since only old men play bocce ball.
