Tooth and Harts

Began the morning with breakfast and a couple of quick shorts from Minnie's Bow-Toons: Party Palace Pals on Disney Plus. It's "Moving Day" for the ladies as they try to get a huge sofa up to their new high-rise apartment. "Bessie Delivers Again"...Daisy hopes, anyway, when she pulls her Gram Quacker's old ice cream truck out of storage. After she misses a delivery, Cuckoo Loca and Minnie realize that Bessie just needs a coat of paint and some repairing to make her the perfect delivery van. Minnie's nieces Millie and Melody judge "The Great Cookie Bake-Off" between Minnie and Daisy to decide whether Daisy's crispy or Minnie's soft chocolate chip cookies are the batch they'll be using.

Hurried out after that to the Westmont Plaza for my dental appointment. I was a minute or two late, nothing really terrible. The lady came out after five minutes. The cleaning itself went fine. I did have to wait ten minutes for a check-up...only to learn I wasn't due for one yet. Then I had to wait another ten minutes to check out and find out I didn't owe them co-pay. It took me almost an hour to get out of there.

When I did get home, I had lunch while watching Queen of the Stardust Ballroom. I go further into this sweet, charming, and rather sad TV movie from 1975 about a widow who rediscovers life dancing at the title ballroom at my Musical Dreams Movie Reviews blog.

Musicals On TV - Queen of the Stardust Ballroom

Hurried off to the Thomas Sharp School before work even ended. Thank heavens it warmed up enough today to take the kids outside! We started in the library and had the kids there for a while after they came inside, but we did get them out to the playground for about 40 minutes. It was cloudy and cool but not freezing, probably in the mid-40's, and not windy, either. Although some of the kids did argue over the swings (and one of the boys tossed his Pikachu hat in a tree), most of them had a ball running around in the playground for the first time since the middle of last month. We settled down to color and read to them after we got in, then moved them with the big kids in the cafeteria when there were only four little ones left.

Soon as I got out, I rushed home, did chores, and took out the trash before Jessa arrived. We ended up at the IHOP behind the Cherry Hill Mall to have breakfast for dinner. We both had their breakfast combo. She had her eggs over easy and buttermilk pancakes. I had mine scrambled and Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity Strawberry Pancakes. Yum! IHOP really does do good pancakes, nice and moist even before you mess around with their syrup varieties. My bacon was nice and crispy, too. 

Finished Queen of the Stardust Ballroom when I got home, then ended the night with Hart to Hart. "Chamber of Lost Harts" gets into Indiana Jones turf when the head of an archaeological dig sponsored by Hart Industries is killed. Jennifer and Johnathan dig out their hiking booths and head to the Amazon with their guide and Johnathan's friend Nick to figure out who wants the dig shut down and why.
