Lunch With Alice

It was cool enough to wear a sweater today and I loved it.  This morning I made a big batch of croutons and some chicken for Little Wonder.

At 11:30 our friend, Chet Fery, dropped off a couple loaves of bread and some hot dog sauce, Greek style.  Alice arrived a little later, as we were going out to lunch at the new Chinese restaurant in Brockport.  We had time for a nice chat before leaving.

Alice ordered spring rolls and chicken with cashews.

I ordered sesame chicken.  Everything was delicious!

We were surprised when they brought out a complimentary dessert.

Home before 2 and took it easy with Little Wonder.

The sky was gorgeous,

when I went out to the Studio to mess around 

with my water color sample (for class on Friday)

I want them to learn about layering.......

and eventually they can add pen and ink if they want to.

This was just an exercise, and on Friday we will start painting flowers.

Gary grilled out burgers and we had leftover coleslaw for dinner.  

That's it for today.  I should have gone for a trike ride.

Night all.

 

Pasta a la Fenton

Sunshine, rain, hail and more rain.

At 10am it looked like this.

Gary went to yoga and out to lunch.  Little Wonder and I took it easy until this afternoon when John came up for some music in the Studio.

We played until 3 and talked for another half hour.

Invited to dinner at the Fentons tonight as Robby, Mark and families were in town for several days.  I picked some flowers for them and

grabbed a few shots of the 5 new hibiscus blossoms.

At 6pm we left the farm with 2 bottles.  Every time we get together we share our Maker's Mark with them.  Tradition.

Gary created a basket of veggies.....potatoes, beets, onions, shallots, basil and parsley.

He also brought a book for Joan.

This is such a beautiful family....

and they are so much fun!

Dinner was delicious

One of Joan's granddaughters brought her dog Honey...they flew together from California.

So beautiful and well behaved.

It's so late and I am pooped!

Night all.

 

My Turn to Host Bridge

A spectacular day weatherwise.  Sunny at no humidity. 74 degrees.

A slow start and I finally got motivated enough to get things ready for bridge.

We had four new hibiscus blossoms.

Gary dug out more potatoes and kept busy....

The Lillies I picked last Friday are still hanging in there..my favorite shot of the day.

Linda, Hanny and Bobby arrived at 1 and we played bridge until 4:30.  Hanny and Bobby skunked Linda and me.  We had plenty of snacks and ended up with homemade strawberry shortcake.

Obviously I was not hungry for dinner and made myself some oatmeal.

Jenny sent me this photo of Cooper and his new wheels!  Used, but is in outstanding shape.

Night all.
