YOU'D THINK I WAS BUSY...I'M NOT!!!

    ONE OF MY MOST FAVOURITE PEOPLE...SHE WILL BE HUGELY MISSED BY EVERY ONE WHO WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO KNOW HER.  KERRY'S SISTER WENDY

 You would think I was too busy with life to take time to post a post.  Well I am not.  I think as my retirement continues my brain is atrophying.  When I talk to my contemporaries they are all busy with grandchildren and hobbies and people.  That's three things that are NOT in my life.  No grandchildren, no hobbies and no people.  But....that being said....

It is Ange's birthday tomorrow so next week she is having a friend over and I shall make dinner.  The request was for meatloaf...Ange's fave!!  And I love making it.  

Then on Sunday we invited Monte's friend Bryce over for a dinner.  We are buying a three boner prime rib and I shall make Yorkies and a boatload of gravy.

  He is the most interesting person.  He makes mead (from fireweed), flavoured vinegars, sauerkraut...no kombucha thank goodness.  He also does briskets and I am the grateful receiver of the trimmed off pure fat.  He is a most fascinating character!

I heard from April today.  They are in VietNam now.  They spent three days in Thailand on the beach and met up with a couple they will be continuing the trip with.  April is sicker than a dog.  That poor kid can't get a break.  She is also terrified to eat over there.  She keeps her epi pen right handy just in case.  I guess one of the letters on her passport looks like a number and by the time the security people figured it out they missed their plane.  They are in Saigon and have had to get a hotel for the night and they fly on tomorrow.  

When she told me they were in Saigon a shiver ran through me.  Hangover from the Vietnam war which still horrifies me all these years later.  Anyway they are spending the night in a Holiday Inn and travelling on tomorrow...meeting up with their friends.  Can you imagine the hassle that would have been before cell phones?

It's time to clean my house.  It's a mess and I have no one to blame but myself.  The dining room table is piled high again.  I am so sick and tired of cleaning that effing thing off.  I think when dinners are over next week I am going to upend the dam thing, take the legs off and get Monte to help me move it to tinny.  Eventually when we have manpower around it is going to Monte's office.  It is just too big and messy in here.  I think I am going to go back to a small round table and four chairs.  If there are five of us to dinner...one of us has to sit on the couch in the living room to eat.

So, speaking of that, I shall get off my butt and go clean said table.  I have no idea where all the oven stuff is going to go.  I store four frying pans and a dutch oven in the stove oven.  I need the oven on Sunday to make dinner.  Dang it.  Where's my junk dude!!!!

Gotta bounce!!!  TFL&TTYL
