I'm outside with the owls this morning. They are such good company! But I think they've just gone to visit neighbors now.
Yesterday I did 3 turns on the dance floor with Mr. Maytag, then worked on the fall side of my table runner before we went to supper with Tex & Annette. The restaurant had been closed for almost a year because a car ran into it and did a lot of damage so they decided to renovate the entire place and it just re-opened. Food was excellent. I had a chicken tostada and a margarita. Then we went back to T & A's for dessert out on their deck. They gave Bill a cowbell. Not sure why, but at least he didn't get duplicate gifts!

This morning Bill gave ME a gift! The latest mystery in Lorna Barrett's Booktown series. I enjoy this author a lot and just listened (for about 3rd time) to two of her audiobooks. I'm on her e-mail list and 2 days ago received notice that this book was now available. I had no idea that Bill even knew about this author let alone that she was one of my favorites. He pre-ordered it for my birthday last March and it just now arrived. Can't wait to start reading!
CAROL - glad you are getting some nice weather. Usually you are cooking this time of year aren't you? And I'm glad you are on top of that pool situation! Scary for the littles next door!! I hope there is fast action! I'd want to be anonymous, too!
BECCA - the tornado was an F3 and it took out the Phizer pharmaceutical plant in Raleigh, I think. I'm glad none of your family was affected. Yes, I think Bill was surprised yesterday though I finally had to tell him we had "evening plans" when friend, Doyle, called and wanted us to come by their house. So I drove and Bill finally figured out the restaurant we were going to by the route we took. And he saw friend, Tex's car in the lot. But he really enjoyed everything.
TINA - did you find a dress for Jaz??? If so, describe please! Those temps are intolerable! Soon, they will be incompatible with life. But then, I think 90* is incompatible with life. MY life, anyway! And Drew's news was going back to his old job in the Naval Shipyard. He is excited. There's no room for advancement or more $$ in his present job and prices have risen so much that he's starting to struggle finanacially so he's decided to make a change.
So no cooking again tonite.

What will be your delicious supper tonite?
