Mornin’ folks! It’s 845ish here under sunny skies with 75/24 going up to 81/26 later.
I’m up, sheveled, and just ordered breakfast at a nearby diner sorta place. Akin to Denny’s but without the raging hopelessness and grease-encrusted windows. Much more pleasant vibe. Next stop is golf lesson 2. Her Ladyship yet slumbers.
This. It’s very important not to disturb the can lines getting it out. And you must eat it from the ends to preserve the can lines as long as possible. When I was a kid that was very important and still is some. We always also had the canned “chunky” kind. Which I actually prefer over the jelly as a food, but it lacks the kid-tradition hook.
Nowadays Her Ladyship always makes something elaborate from scratch with 3 kinds of fruit and 10 spices that is delicious, but completely misses the elemental nature of cranberry sauce.
Birth-aversary party last night was good. 12 folks all from the old condo. The birthday couple plus 2 other pairs were over 60 years married. It was done family style at an upper-middle Italian joint. So we ended up with 4 courses of interesting appetizers & 3 courses of fun entrées, plus wine & an assortment of pastry desserts. Everyone waddled out replete.
The restaurant is in the restaurant row near the condo, and unrelated to our party two other couples from there wandered in and added to the festivities. One pair brought their 30-something daughter and 8 month old grandgirl who totally stole the show.
Wheelz: I have felt your pain. There is nothing more disheartening than fouled up hotel arrangements at the end of an exhausting day while the clock is ticking towards start time in the morning. Glad you pulled off a coup at the end And good luck on organizing a glass factory. You do get to see some very interesting stuff in that job.
Don’t forget that you’ve been dividing your efforts between old and new place. Now that old is winding down, your pace at the new place can & will pick up.
An equally valid question is how much of that crap vital stuff is really relevant to your current lives? You might try just getting stuff out of a box when you first need to use it and not before. Once a year has passed, any stuff still in boxes or bags just gets donated to the thrift store without peeking to see what’s inside. Whatever it is, you’ve proven you don’t need it.
Yaay! Glad to hear of possible progress.
Shoe: Hope you got good breakfast Mc- or otherwise.
I gotta go. Cheers all! Moanday forth with gusto!!
