I have the best neighbors in the whole world. Several of us met for drinks and appetizers tonight at a some-what local restaurant, and because I had to get home to the babysitter...they all followed me back to The Outpost and the party resumed here so I could still participate. *sniff* I love you guys!
My neighbor up the road had brought her kids over before we left, and when the babysitter went home, her oldest daughter took charge of The Governor so I was free to laugh and talk with all the adults. Can't believe my luck.
One of my neighbors stopped home before coming over to our place to pick up her blender. (Ours = busted) She made strawberry daiquiris. I almost had to get down on my knees and bow. A true master. Every time I've tried to make drinks like that at home, I can never get the perfect blend of ingredients. The ice is the trouble-maker. All my efforts result in slush with chunks so big they could sink a small tanker.
What a fun evening. Now if I could just get the computer screen to hold still so I could proof-read what I've written...

Loved the ventriliquist joke.
Wish we had a change of seasons down here in the tropics.

If you ever need a break from all the warm sun, beaches, and tropical weather...feel free to come visit The Outpost. January is quite lovely. :)
Or, if you would rather, send me a mailing address, and I'll ship you all the bleepin' oak leaves from my yard. Be the only one on your block who needs to rake your yard and your beach.
Great to hear from you! Made my day!
