Make my spouse a cup of coffee. We\u2019re not big eaters in the morning. Occasionally I will get up and make an omelet with all the things and some smothered potatoes, and bring it upstairs on a cart with some juice. Now, I\u2019m telling you the truth. \u201cBaby, am I telling the truth?\u201d [Looks back and screams out to Betts in another room]. <\/p>\n<p>              <img class=\"image\" alt=\"\"  width=\"38\" height=\"40\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1761907517_257_\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>        <\/p>\n<p><b>9:30 a.m. Get my essentials at the farmers market <\/b><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d grab a shower and say, \u201cLet\u2019s get dressed and go outside, and see what the world has for us today.\u201d I love to go by the farmers market. It\u2019s where we get all of our peppers and vegetables. We like the eggs, the fresh pressed juices and we get our dog snacks from there. I like to go to the farmers market on Saturdays at the <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shopcommons.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Commons<\/b><\/a> in Calabasas, but if I\u2019m going on a Sunday, it\u2019s the one in <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WestlakeVillageFM\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Westlake<\/b><\/a>. I just think that it\u2019s a one-stop shop for everything that we\u2019re looking for and typically the vendors are really kind. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s because they want you to buy their stuff or that\u2019s just who they are, but either way, I\u2019ll take it. <\/p>\n<p>And every now and then, I might find a little bop, a little sundress, a little something to throw on, drop the things back off and then head down into the city. <\/p>\n<p>              <img class=\"image\" alt=\"\"  width=\"40\" height=\"40\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1761907518_878_\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>        <\/p>\n<p><b>Noon: Stroll around the Grove<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If the weather is great, we\u2019ll take something out of the garage that\u2019s a convertible because there\u2019s nothing like the L.A. sunshine. Then depending on what time we can get spa appointments, we might go to <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/thegrovela.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>the Grove<\/b><\/a> first and walk around. I like the shops that are there. Sometimes you might get a little sweet treat when you\u2019re walking around, but you can always impromptu decide you want to go to the movies and push your plans a little later. It\u2019s just centrally located and it has all of the good things that I like. <\/p>\n<p>              <img class=\"image\" alt=\"\"  width=\"97\" height=\"40\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1761907519_211_\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>        <\/p>\n<p><b>2 p.m. Couples massage and a cocktail<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Next, we\u2019d head to the <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Four Seasons<\/b><\/a> for a couple\u2019s massage and a cocktail. Sometimes we\u2019ll go to the Four Seasons Westlake. Sometimes we\u2019ll go to the Four Seasons on Doheny [Drive], but we like to get a spa room, which is in the back. It\u2019s like a suite with a fireplace and a bed in there. You can relax. You have your own private plunge pool and we get our services in the suite. We both always get deep tissue. <\/p>\n<p><b>5 p.m.: Thai food for dinner<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Afterward, we\u2019d drive down to <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.farmhousethai.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Farmhouse Thai<\/b><\/a> in West Adams because we love it there and we have come to love the owner. I always get the crab fried rice, the whole cripsy fish, the cup of ramen noodles with the short rib on top and spring rolls. That\u2019s the standard order. But if I don\u2019t go out to dinner, I will make crabs every weekend. So sometimes, my kids will come over and eat. If I get to lay my eyes on them during the weekend, that\u2019s always a good time. <\/p>\n<p>              <img class=\"image\" alt=\"\"  width=\"27\" height=\"40\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1761907520_488_\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>        <\/p>\n<p><b>9 p.m.: Skinny dipping and champagne <\/b><\/p>\n<p>When we get back, we are definitely getting in the pool.
