Jim Y came by to help me walk. We went out to Liberty Park in Cerritos, because there is no curb to navigate from the parking lot. It was easier to try the walking sticks, with Jim helping me with my balance while I was concentrating on my steps. The sticks help me to keep the weight over my feet and to rely on my hands for stability only.
We didn’t walk far, but farther than I have gone at home. We finished the exercise time with some walking using my walker. My left knee started to hurt, so we quit with the walking exercise.
After an adventure at the post office, we went to a Chinese restaurant for lunch, since our first choice, Sam Woo’s, was packed and there was a line outside. As we were entering, we noticed signs for a private party in the back. Jim asked if I felt like crashing a party, but we decided against it since we weren’t dressed up enough.
As we were seated in the dining room, we were asked if we wanted to order the Valentine’s Day special. That’s when we noticed the decorations and balloons all over the place. We also noticed all the couples in the booths. Jim said that it explained why the hostess looked at us funny when she seated us. We laughed about it.
I ordered the Honey Walnut Shrimp lunch special. I forgot what Jim ordered. The lunch special came with soup, spring roll, won ton, and fried rice. We finished up and headed out.
A word about my blog .....
I'm using this blog to keep notes on my life and experiences, plus to keep track of my own recovery from a stroke (December 2006).
For those of you who were not aware, my brother, John, died on February 10, 2010. His remains were cremated and interred at Green Hills Memorial Park.

I spoke with Jim Y at church this past Sunday...yes, you read it correctly...we're back!
Your account of your food adventure was not nearly as exciting as it truly was! Jim had me rollling! I can just imagine the two of you innocently going into a restaurant for a meal, being greeted, seated and then coming to the realization that the restaurant staff belived you two to be a couple! So...who got the balloon? I'm thinking that Jim Y isn't going to want to visit that restaurant any time soon...
Miss you! I hope we can see each other again soon!
Did Jim Y. tell you what he was wearing?
