Back in the Saddle...

I arrived home from Seattle late last night and was met at the airport by my sweetie. As always it's good to be back home and to sleep in my own bed. The flight was the best kind: uneventful; and for some reason I was lucky enough to be upgraded to first class. Those cushy seats were a real bonus as I left Seattle with a miserable head cold so it made resting (is there such a thing?) on the plane a little easier. And there was also food; food that I didn't have to buy. And believe it or not it was quite good. I chose the pasta with mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes which was really tasty. It came with a salad, roll and cheesecake for dessert. I can't imagine a bad piece of cheesecake: this one was very good. So I had a good lunch which, because of the time change, was also my dinner. Now it is back to work.

THE GABFEST!

Lunch with the ladies on Monday was the usual fun filled chit chat about the latest goings on in each of our respective families. Peggy is awaiting the birth of her second grandchild, Jodie just returned from another diving trip to Honduras and Janice, Jodie's mom, is busy with the family and keeping everyone on track. We decided to eat at Bonefish Grill one of our favorite haunts and as always it didn't disappoint. Their starters can be a meal so you don't have to spend a lot or get a gigantic portion. Of course I had to start with the Corn Chowder with Crabmeat. That is always a must have and it was as delicious as ever. Then I went with the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos, a first for me and an excellent choice. The meal was very satisfying and the company one of the big reasons to return to Seattle every now and then. Family and Friends...what more can you ask for!

PLEASE TELL ME...

What is with this weather!!!!! While we were eating lunch on Monday it rained, then it hailed and then the blizzard set in. I mean, come on! This is March, two weeks before spring! And this is Seattle where snow is a rare visitor. Not this year. It was blizzard and whiteout conditions leaving the restaurant and driving home. Not nice! Haven't we had enought already! There's nothing we can do about the weather but it sure will be nice to see the daffodils and tulips in full bloom. Here in New England that is at least another month or more away but it will come and I for one will enjoy every last petal on those flowers.

Take care,
Pam
