Shishkibobs

Plenty of sunshine this morning.

After chores I worked on the house as we were having company for dinner.  I was able to take it easy for awhile this afternoon.....LW joined me.

I watched a movie and then got busy putting the shish kebobs together.

The chicken, veggies and mushrooms had marinated all night.

The table was all set

and I went out for chores around 5.

I'm still not into this darkness.

Gary got everything grilled....

I made a salad....

Jenny brought some basmati rice

and pocket bread.  What a delicious combo.

Plenty of chatter, full of crazy conversations.

Tiffany and Steve brought an outrageous carrot cake.  What a perfect ending.

We all really enjoyed our time together.  Many years ago Tiffany was an intern at John LaFalce's (congressman) office, when Jenny worked there as a congressional aide.  Hanny!  I gave your best to her.

So tired.

Night all.

 

Time Out For Lunch With Nancy

This was one ugmo day.  Grey and spritzing off and on the whole time.

The hibiscus blossoms have been on a roll....1 more this morning.

It was windy and I put the hay behind the grooming room.

We are having company tomorrow night, so when I got back in the house, started working on the makings for shish kebobs.  Chicken, onions, peppers, mushrooms and pineapple with a balsamic/soy sauce/pineapple juice marinade.

I had so many mushrooms they would not fit in the big bowl...

so I sautéed the rest with peppers and onions to put them on Naan bread pizza for dinner.

At noon I met my friend Nancy at 58 Main for a 2 1/2 hour lunch.  First time we have done this and we talked our brains out!  Such a good time.  Took it easy when I got back to the farm and went out  

for chores just before dark.

The fire felt especially good when I got back in.

I probably overloaded the pizza with veggies, but they tasted great.

So here we are.  I am ready to go to bed....just like Little Wonder.

Night all.

 

Stuck!

Yikes!  Snow on the raised beds this morning!

Mary Pat was up and out before I did morning chores.  She had a flight out of Rochester, headed for North Carolina.

The boys definately needed their sheets back on.  Cold and wet.

Time for some new shavings.

I had an 11am appointment at the Brockport Animal Hospital for Sidney.  This is the first time he has been in this new carrier and he was perfect.  The vet said no worms or Giardia.  He is now on probiotics and an antibiotic to see if we can get rid of his stinky diarrhea.  Hope I can get the pills into him.

This adorable 10 week old puppy was there.

Got home in time to change my clothes and headed back to Brockport for bridge.  Skip was my partner and we came in second.

Evening chores a little after 5.  It was still ugly out there.

Dinner.....leftovers with an apple and a piece of tuscan bread.  Weird, but good.

We had a nice call from our granddaughter, Ariana.  So nice to catch up.  Can't wait to see her in December when she will be in town for a few days, going to a Buffalo Bills game.

Just heard from Mary Pat.  Her plane hit some birds and was not able to fly out to Raleigh, so she is stuck in Washington over night!  She must be so thrilled!

Night all.
