Shirl & The Girls

This morning I drank the coffee and did the walk. A different podcast for these steps, rather interesting history of the first settlements in the not-yet colonies and all the missing settlers over the years. 

At one point, a cat came out to see me. Then another. And another! (pictured in order of visitation).

They all let me pet them, they live on the same street near each other. One looks a lot more ragged than the others. 

I spent more time than I intended petting cats but, sometimes you just have to stop and pet cats. And you take pictures of the cats. Because it is what you do. 

After I got back, I got showered, and ready. We were meeting Jess for lunch. It was a delightful time. Mom was in good spirits seeing Jess. 

I had delayed the getting scallops action, but today was the right day. Have to say that you get less, a lot less, of them than when the old owners ran the joint. Still, they are the tastiest around so, not gonna complain too hard. 

We got back to the house for a short hang and it was naptime for mom. Jess and I went dress shopping for me. 

We picked out a few, and Jess took pictures and texted "The Squad," my sister, her 2 besties, and the bride. The bride was sleeping (she slept 18 hours - completely exhausted from so much things), and getting the feedback from others was important. The dress I would have bought was pink/champagne colored and Linda told Jess I looked like I was naked. I didn't think so, in real life and in person, but, if I'm going to look naked if a camera points at me then, well, no. 

Also, all the dresses were shorter than I wanted. I really wanted something that would be mid-calf, below the knee, to... hide my knee. 

We finally found one, it works, yay! 

Then, we went for shoes. DSW had shoes I wanted but she didn't have them in stock. I'd have to go to Plymouth or Dartmouth for them. 

Will solve that problem later. I have days to find shoes. 

It was a lot of fun spending time with Jess, "yapping" as the kids say. 

Tomorrow, haircut. Tuesday Doug. 

Right now? Bed.  Good night! But I have to share how the bartender put us in the system for our order. Shirl & The Girls.
