Ketch-Up Day

 

Hoping all the special dads out there had a wonderful Sunday. What did you do to celebrate?

Friday we hooked up with friends that we get together with once a month and go out to eat. This time one of the guys volunteered to have us at his house.  Oh my.  Great food. Great presentation.  Great fun. Below are the first two courses.

This was the first course: Peach-champagne cold soup. 

 Second course was a delicious salad.

 And from there I stopped taking pictures and concentrated on eating. 

The main course consisted of meatloaf--which I passed on. Heh--mashed potatoes and green beans  and chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert.  The only thing that wasn't fresh or made from scratch was the rolls, iced tea and ice cream.

AND

As always, a few pics from the garden.

 

 

 This Iris is either very early or very late.  Any hoo, I'm glad to see it.

Ketch-Up Day

 

How are you? What's new?

We got some rain Sunday night.  Who would have thought those crystalline droplets could fill a person with so much joy? I swear the plants and trees were smiling. The birds certainly were;)  It has been so dry here. We are still in drought conditions. My relatives in Illinois have gotten more rain than they need as has a county over from us. It's like, most days, Mother Nature gets to our area and she's all rained out.  Toes-crossed that is going to change out. What about you? What's the weather like in your area?

My buddy's husband was in the car munching on chips which attracted the birds.  Pretty cute, huh? 

Now the location of where they were at : Bodega Bay, where the famous Hitchcock thriller THE BIRDS was filmed.

 

And on that note, I will leave you:)

How was your weekend and how is your week going?

We're doing fine on this end.

My blackberries are ripening.   I'm so excited.

 AND

We met a couple of buds at Village Inn for lunch.  Yum.  Have you ever been to one?  They have a pizza buffet, a salad bar, soup, drinks and dessert.  Very tasty and very reasonably priced. 

I drive an '03 Mustang and one of the buds gave me this:
