Thank you, everybody for the good wishes and big welcome back to this side. I really hope I can spend more time here. Now, now, Sharon, the Patriots are only the best football team in history. Stacie, I'm happy to hear Aiden is doing so well. He sounds like a fighter. Shaun, have a drink at the tiki bar for me, please! Alexa, good luck with your busy upcoming week. Nancy, a big happy birthday to Kim. I hope dinner was the best - well, I KNOW it was the best since you made it, but I hope your celebration was just as good. Pat T, congratulations on your grades! You should be proud. I'm not even going to respond to your Patriots comments...LOL Cathy, I cheered for the dolphins to get their ONE win this year ;) And yes, Brady is a cutie. Michael/Lyra, a sincere thank you for giving me the biggest laugh that I've had in a long time. Your posts always make me smile. This one made my day. Duane, don't work too hard. At least enjoy the time before things get too busy. Pam, I hope you feel better. Don't eat too many cookies! Jcrowley, thank goodness no bifocals for you...I'd be walking into walls with them. Annie, you work so hard, I don't know how you do it! I hope all goes well with your dad. Best wishes to him. Ellen, I hope the party was fun Susie, jeez, feel better, soon. Good to hear Wendy is better, now let's get you there. Maggie, dentist - Yuk!!! You have a right to vent. SharonCB, recycling can be a PITA, and they're real sticklers around here, but at least you're helping out the environment. Gina, glad to hear you're keeping up with the lessons. I think I remember you saying you had hit a plateau awhile back. I bet you're back to kicking butt again. Teresa, enjoy your movies. Wow, that's alot Katie, sounds like the snow will be around awhile. Try to stay warm and dry San, my son is in NH and he said the snow is insane. I heard more Sunday night/into Monday. Boo-Hiss! Thanks again, all, for the hugs!

Pea soup and ham sounds good, but I've been eating a lot of soup lately, as I have been under the weather since Wednesday of last week, which is why I did not post under TGIF last week. I'm much better now, probably at 95%, but I will still take it easy this week-end. It's gotten cool here (mid 60s) and I think we may have had rain last night, which might happen again this week-end, which would be wonderful. If I'm up to it, I will make tamales. I found corn husks at Sprout's, but they cost $5, which I found to be expensive. Last Saturday (when I should have stayed home), we went to what I thought was a Von's close to our house, but it is now a dollar (or 99 cent) store, and I guess corn husks are too expensive for them to carry! Before that we went to a grocery/liquor store that is even closer to our house, and its doors had been chained, as it is going through a change of ownership. The large recycling center in its parking lot was still open, however, but that was all that was going on. Kevin said that he had seen people who collect bottles and cans get vouchers for what they had collected and then used those vouchers to buy lottery tickets! I think they should have given them food stamps instead. There are too many dollar stores now, I think. The fruit and vegetable market that we used to go to is also now a dollar store. I will say that the dollar store that used to be a Von's is much cleaner than the Von's was, and I did not shop at the Von's because it was not very nice. It would be nice if a dollar store would reopen as a vegetable market. Maybe I'll make pizzas this week-end and put some of my Roma tomatoes on them. I've been mostly avoiding cheese while I was sick, as I think it makes congestion worse. I think I'll be fully recovered by tomorrow. I want to make something besides soup. I did make some very good cabbage soup while I was sick, and it was quick and easy and much better than I expected, although it did not have much of a cabbage flavor. I had Kimchee flavored soup yesterday. I turn the TV off whenever anything Superbowl comes on - it's just a lot of annoying noise as far as I'm concerned. Stay well, everyone and have a great week-end! Lars

TGIF Happy Easter!

Happy Easter and Happy Spring! Last night we saw my cousin's son's girlfriend sing Miss Donnithornes's Maggot, along with another vocalist doing Eight Songs for a Mad King. I have never been a fan of atonal music but she performed it flawlessly, as far as Max and I could tell. Both of them are masters students in opera at CU. In a few weeks they are both singing in The Cunning Little Vixen which will be a lot more fun to see. Today we spent most of the time doing last minute shopping and coloring and decorating eggs. We will be fifteen for dinner at our DIL's brother's house. I have most of my prep work done. And now, after a wonderful 55Â° sunny day - it's SNOOOOWING! Tomorrow will be cool, around 50Â° but we have the low 70's forecast for most of the week. Sharon, I hope you all huddle together and stay warm. We have a lot of 24/7 heating and plumbing services - of course you pay dearly for off hours service. Duane, I'll bet your house is doggie heaven and that you have a great time with them. We take our dog to a bed and breakfast (and dinner too but it's just called a B & B) and he loves it. They have up to six dogs at a time, the owner is wonderful and sooo good with dogs. We have often come to pick up our dog to see all her charges, who may never have met before, sitting in a semicircle around her waiting for individual praise or treats. The dogs have more freedom than they would in our house, but our dog knows there are rules here and rules there and he doen't confuse the two. Katie, we have never missed a year coloring eggs, even when there are only the two of us for Easter. Happy Easter everyone. Lee

TGIF - May 21

You're a busy group with all your springtime activities. Right now I am waiting for the contractor, to talk about the new bathroom. The planning has been going on for a year now. He's promising to start in June. Goodbye money. Later is a trip to the salon. Tomorrow is the usual cleaning and gardening. Love one and hate the other. Sunday is the Cocktail Party for my local library. It is always the best party of the year, held in some fabulous private home. I bought a new outfit and shoes. Today after the haircut, I have to stop to buy a few things for finishing touches. I can use these clothes for a wedding in July, too. Had a pedicure yesterday (I don't like the color I chose -- OPI Chihuahua Bites. It's too orange.) No manicure because I would just destroy it in the yard. Happy Weekend everyone!

The Perfect Bloody Mary for me:

1 Jigger of Vodka
1 Lime Wedge
2 Dashes of Tabasco
2 Dashes of Sriracha (Asian Hot Sauce)
1 Dash of Celery Seed
1 Stalk of Celery
8 oz. of Clamato Juice

Add the Clamato First. Then all the spices. Add the Vodka last so it washes the Hot Sauce off of the top ice cubes. Stir Well. Sip Slowly.

Crackers and Salmon Spread on the side.

Hmmm. The best ever.

MMMMmmmmmmmm. I used to drink those in my younger days. Saved the lemon slices in the glass and just kept on adding.
Made a nice one for ya Gayle, just as ordered. I'm just popping back in the kitchen to put out the salmon spread and cracker assortment. Great idea!

nodakgal--well, we've been here a while so I figure in about 1/2 hour, I can talk us all into jumping up on the bar and doing the can-can. (That is if we can get our cans up on that bar!)

Hey, MrsMarv -- we were at the Clos du Bois winery this past weekend -- it was the 30th annual Barrel Tasting along the Russian River Wine Road. Along with their barrel tasting, they were serving (free, of course) chili cheese hot dogs, and chocolate truffles.

I feel like a gin & tonic (that's what I had last night, actually). A lemon drop martini or Bloody Mary might suit me too.
