and picked up two Butterfly Bushes (

We planted some of those a few years ago, can't remember the variety. True to the name they were magnets to butterflies. Not sure if I was lazy and didn't do a good job taking care of them, if it was pests or weather, but they just died one year.

Good girl, Maggie.

We’ve had them before and they grew like weeds in this climate. We dug them out to make room for grapes.

They did here also. Did you prune them?

 

[Gary A.]

Yes, we’d cut them down from about ten feet high to three feet.

@Gary A. Sadie says give Maggie an extra treat from her, for a job well done.

Ms. Sadie has been socializing a lot this trip. We have lots of friends with fur kids, some of which she's met before. There's been much sniffing and pawing at each other. Unfortunately they don't have a nice enclosed area where they could all run free, and inside an RV is not the place for mad dashes from one end to the other.

It is noon, it is 67F and a beautiful day. Mary Lou, Maggie and Gary are having brunch outside in Huntington Beach.

Dukes?

Dukes ... you get around. No not Dukes. The Hangout on Bolsa Chica. They have a patio which can accommodate our attack dog, Maggie. On the way home we detoured to a nursery and picked up two Butterfly Bushes (Buddleia - Black Knight), a multicolored Flowering Maple, African and Persian Basil and a succulent. Drove home with the top down in order to fit the plants. Great weather and a pleasant day.

I enjoyed Duke’s on Waikiki when we were there a few years ago. When we were in CA last year we spent a day in Huntington Beach and had brunch at Duke’s there. Good drinks but food was just so-so. When you mentioned brunch and HB it popped into my mind.

Great location ... so-so food.

SOB. it is implied that I start at 5am.
You would think all the "management " would know this. And yet at 5:45am I am still waiting. And I wasn't told yesterday not to show today. One part of working here that is less than satisfyingly.

I feel for you. We have key cards to get into our shop, but for most of us it only works during normal hours. Anything beyond that the boss has to program the security system to let us in.

I was asked last summer to work one weekend. Saturday was no problem, but when I tried to get in Sunday...nothing.

Afternoon all, just come back from doing a shop and cleaning mums flat. She has had some stitches out but the rest come out on Monday, plus it`s red hot here today.

You should get paid for the time they make you wait and a minimum 4 hours if they never show up to let you in.

@Fujidave: What do peoples in East Sussex consider "red hot"?
