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.

Thanks, Donna

 That's all for now. Have a grand week.

Ketch-Up Day

 

Can you say Brrr? The cold weather is coming. I sincerely hope the pipes don't freeze.

I had a great birthday. Partied for two days. Heh. One of the buds hosted a brunch for me at his house. Oh my goodness. It was amazing.

The cookies were homemade, double or triple chocolate and made by one of the buds. 

He served tomato bisque, mushroom and spinach quiche and the most amazing salad. Have you ever had watermelon radishes or roasted yellow beets? They were delish and so very pretty.

The next day, the 70s Club went out for lunch. We tried a new place. The food and service were great, along with the price:)

 Then at home, I had strawberry cheese (birthday) cake waiting for me.  Very yummy.  If anyone out there is interested, this came from Publix. 

Well, the birthday celebration is over but the leftovers and cake linger on:)

Both my grandson and SIL play chess. I'm so impressed. My grandson is only eleven. I've never played a game of chess in my life, but I can play a mean game of checkers.  Heh. 

What's your pleasure? Do you play chess or checkers?

Stay warm. Stay safe, blogger buds.
