BIRTHDAY DINNER (NUMBER 7)

 The garlic is waiting to be planted...let's hope Gary is out of his boot and able to work in his garden by October when it needs to go in the ground.

 Did chores and managed to get an appointment for Gucci at 10am.  Her ears are still bothering her.

I have spent a fortune over the past 5 weeks and hope we have finally solved the problem....poor pup.

As if I have not been out for meals a lot lately....Sally and Judy treated me to a birthday lunch at

the Garland.  Thank you friends, for taking such good care of me!  Delish.

 As for dinner number 7....Jenny cooked for us tonight.

 I made a quick peach and nectarine "betty".

 Set the table and went out to do evening chores.  It rained most of the afternoon....

 and you know who rolled in the arena.

 So what did we have?

 Chicken Marsala...

 crusty bread....

 mashed potatoes...

 and I made Jenny my new favorite beet salad.  This time I added apples instead of oranges and toasted almonds instead of walnuts.  Equally fine!!!!

 The dessert was light and yummy.

Meanwhile out in LV, Ariana and Daniella had the first day back to school.

 They both had a good day.

Night all.
