Saying goodbye to Marie

Yesterday Marie went to Palm Springs for a hip replacement. She will be gone at least two months. Chico and I dropped by her house to say goodbye to her. She was in a terrible state of mind. The first thing she said to me was, I'm not going.

Of course she did go. I don't blame her for not wanting to go up there but she is lucky that she has excellent medical insurance. She will be recovering at a beautiful physical center with a pool. Here are some photos I took of us and her place. 

 

 

Macadamia nut tree.

 

This is such a beautiful complex that people fight over vacancies.

 

Chico is watching Marie cook breakfast. He is afraid to get off the couch because Marie's dog, Mimi, will bark at him. Mimi is very protective of Marie and her house. She was a street dog and she knows a good thing. 

 

Chico preferred to walk around on top of the couch where he was safe than on the floor.

 

You can see that Mimi is guarding things. 

 

Chico finally decided to relax on a pile of pillows. 

Marie, if you are looking at this, we all miss you!
