Hi, everyone.
Yes, I know I have 2 profiles here. The 2nd was created during a senior moment earlier this morning when I couldn't access ATP, hence the 2 suffix. The problem is settled now. I will have to delete the 2nd profile one of these days.
Dinner tonight will be a beef bourguignon leftover from Christmas. I had made a big potful because we were expecting visitors that couldn't stay for dinner. It was delicious. What else could Julia Child's recipe produce? The leftovers were frozen for a rainy day and it did rain today. There is a beef and barley soup first, followed by the bourguignon and a tomato soup chocolate cupcakes for dessert. Should be good.
Lucy has been hunting all day, so I have to guess she is hungry. I played with her during the bad storm this afternoon because she is afraid of lightning, poor baby. Sudden movements scare snakes and lightining falls in that category with Lucy. So, I closed the plantation shutters and had me a snake fix. It was very nice.
Dad and I are now sitting outside with our afternoon rum & Coke and cigars. Life is good.
My cruising buddy wants to sail with me on a cruise next December. I will be searching for an itinerary tonight. Claude is a wonderful friend. We have cruised 3 times together already and never even so much as a grumble from either of us. That means he'll be here for Christmas and New Year 11 months from now. WooHoo. Claude integrates seamlessly into the life of the household, helps with everything inside and outside. He is a compulsive gardener. I swear he disturbs the soil to find weed seeds and pull them out before they sprout.
Mr UPS man just delivered a cigar order I placed on Monday morning. It would be extremely uncouth to run out of stogies or rum. Can't let that happen.
Take care, everyone.
Sylvain.
