Last night, I was at my neighbor’s for a carnivore’s delight – I brought the dessert champagne and cannolis from Angelo Brocato’s. We got to talking about guns and having one and when would you use one. I said unless I was protecting somebody else’s life, I’d have a hard time pulling a trigger. Fast forward to this morning – I was walking in the park with Loca having already gone around the bayou with…
Someone who spoke with my mother at my house-warming party said your mom is “so dramatic” and then she looked at me and said, “the apple doesn’t fall from the tree.” I was at Pilates yesterday and L said, “was that you in that big blue truck?” and I said yeah, that bad ass truck is mine. She said, “I couldn’t believe you’d drive a truck.” Weird, I totally see it. And back to Louise…
I had dinner with P on Monday, dinner with K on Tuesday, dinner tonight is with R&A, dinner tomorrow with B – I’m making my way through the alphabet. This weekend is my 30th High School reunion with my high school friend AA – I went to Lakeside High School in Atlanta. Then on Monday, I’m flying out with F to Turkey where M awaits us on the boat. No complaints.
One of my neighbors wrote about our little community in his blog – I couldn’t have said it better except to add that why is this man not buying green onion sausage from the Terranovas – surely that and Hubig Pies are the main reason to patronize the store.
I’m taking mom to the airport as she is flying with my sister to Florida to some doc who professes to be an expert in RSDS. She said she had to go by the bank and cash a check. I said why don’t you have an ATM card? She said, I’m scared of those ATM machines. What goes on?
Up at 5:30 this morning and by the time the dogs and I got out the door the sky was awash with dawn’s rosy glow – ah, these are the morning where you just know it is going to be a special day. And it is – today is a day in my life and a day in yours – how special is that?
Last night K and I went to Baru and had a delicious meal of tuna tartare, ceviche and grilled meats with charrusco sauce. Yum yum. The food was a knock out. The issue is it is tiny tiny tiny and we had to wait outside in this unholy heat. The chef was so hot that we told the woman who was clearing out table to bring him a glass of our wine (they don’t have…
Before Loca – clean windows and floors After Loca – three foot swash of nose smears and foot prints everywhere
I have long held that wishes should never be specific because sometimes you wish for what you think is going to make you happy and you get it and it doesn’t make you happy. And then sometimes someone or something is not even on your radar and they appear out of the blue and bring gobs of happiness into your life.
