Colonial Dinner

Last night Don and I went to a Colonial Kitchen Dinner, which a local restaurant specials annually on Monday nights in February and March. 

We listened to lute and flute music, performed by musicians in colonial costumes, and met an indentured servant who stopped by to talk to us and explain her lot in life and future plans, and Susan B. Anthony.  (I think they might have been actors)

We also watched 2 colonial women cooking in an open fireplace – they demonstrated the cooking practices from colonial days.

The food is authentic colonial fare.  And as always, was delicious.

All in all, it was an enjoyable evening.

I hope you’re wearin’ some green

There’s a bit of the Irish in almost everyone.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!!!!

Guess who came to lunch?

Don threw out some food scraps for the birds yesterday and these enormous turkey buzzards came for their share.

I’ve seen them nearby, but this is the first time these birds visited our yard.

Resume

I was laid off from my job of 17 years last November. 

In the spirit of being helpful, the company that I worked for gave me 3 months of service
with a company who helps with resumes and interviewing skills, and all that stuff.

My resume has been updated,and they will make 25 copies for me which I will pick up this Friday.  It looks great. 
Now I just have to decide if I want to file them, or distribute them. 
Staying home is something I really enjoy.

A great day -

I went here with a good friend this past week.

We went by train- easier than trying to park in the city.  And we saw so many beautiful displays. 
Nothing like a day at the FL0WER SHOW as a reminder that spring is on the way.
And I usually get lots of inspiration for my own garden.  This year was no exception.

Did you remember?

Don remembered
Or maybe it doesn’t apply where you live

Anniversary Dinner

We went to our favorite restaurant on Sunday night for our anniversary dinner.

As always, the dinner was outstanding - Crab soup for 2, softshell crabs, and Pad Thai with shrimp.

Ming came out to greet us, and brought us each a glass of wine.  When we finished our dinner, he sent a bowl with three scoops of ice cream. 
One flavor was green tea ice cream, and I don’t know what the other two flavors were, but it was a fantastic ending to a wonderful anniversary dinner.

A very special day

Happy Anniversary Don

Welcome guests

We’ve had a very unusual winter this year.  The temps have been in the teens all week, and we had snow on Monday.

There’s a prediction for snow tonight, and much warmer weather this weekend.

Early Spring Crocus

We also have these in our front garden.  I guess they don’t pay too much attention to weather forecasts.

Have a great weekend!

One more ski trip

Don and I went off on a 3rd ski trip of the season yesterday.  The weather was pretty mild, but the skiing conditions were pretty good.
Don doesn’t like spring skiing, and It’s getting so mild here, that unless there’s a big cold spell coming up,
Pennsylvania skiing might be nearing the end for us for the season

It’s raining here today - I’m glad we went yesterday.
I hope the weather’s better where you are.
