April, 2018 ~ Breakfast, Lunch or Brunch

I'm reheating some leftover potato pancakes for my lunch.....with some sour cream. YUM!

Congrats on remembering the Anniversary.......still too cold to sleep out in the dog house!

Who'd a thunk, way back in 1966, that this day would get here so fast......CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Jimmy and Tina , Happy Anniversary!!!

Happy Anniversary!  We made it to 51.5

Allow me to wish you a Happy 52nd Anniversary, too, Jimmy. Please pass on our congrats to Tina, too, who is looking so wonderful lately!

We're celebrating our 39th on April 29th. When Brian asked me what I wanted to do this year, I said, "Surprise me and YOU plan something." So he made dinner reservations at Bayona, Susan Spicer's restaurant in the Quarter that we love. I'd have been more impressed if he'd selected a nice restaurant that I'd said I'd like to try recently but at least he selected a good one! The City is PACKED with almost all the hotel rooms taken (and we have a LOT of them) so reservations are hard to come by for our better restaurants unless you booked them a while back. I bought a new dress about 2 months ago that I know he will love but if it's hot as blazes next Saturday, I won't be comfortable wearing it so keep your fingers crossed for good weather in the 70s next weekend.

And Jazz Fest starts next weekend (Friday, Sat. and Sunday) and then finishes up the following weekend (they add a Thursday on the second weekend) so I always pray for good weather for the zillions of people that head to N.O. for it -- many Europeans come every year. And often they come for the French Quarter Festival and stay for both weekends of Jazz Fest -- a full 4-week visit. FQ Fest is free (such a deal!) and you pay to get in Jazz Fest but if you stay all day or even part of a day, you can listen to music on about 7 stages -- a true bargain. Food is great, too. Just takes a lot of walking which we're no longer up to doing. Plus it's CROWDED! It's held on the infield of the race track so it's so nice to be outside and on grass so it would be hard for them to change the location now that it has grown so much and attracts such a huge crowd. As it is, they've extended to the concrete around the track to hold some of the myriad craft tents selling their wares -- good crafts too from inexpensive to extremely pricey.

It's going to be a beautiful Sunday evening on April 29th!

((That's about as 'positive thinking' as I'm able to do.....))

Happy Anniversary to you and Brian!

Dane and I are headed for the big 50 in January. So far, nothing planned. I don't like big celebrations and much prefer something quiet with just the two of us.

First of all, Happy 50th, Beth. We, too, are not big celebration people. We don't mind going to one but would probably both be mortified to have it be about US!!!

Second, I forgot to say we're going out on Saturday evening, the 28th, so please channel your good cool, dry weather feelings for the 28th instead, okay? Lately, we need all the good karma we can get. No lie.

In a world where 10 years is a real milestone, Lore, that's amazing!

DONE!

(Don't hold your breath......Karma has been known to kick me! LOL)

I saw some green grapes at the store yesterday and immediately thought a nice chicken salad sounded good to me. So I made it for my lunch today.

Yes, both my sisters were divorced, one is now 32 years into her second marriage, older son was divorced after 7 years, is now 14 year into the second; younger son got married just before both he and his wife turned 22, and in 2 weeks it will be 28 years for them.  My main thought about all this is............................ How on earth is it possible that my baby is that old to be married for 28 years?????  Wasn't he just learning to walk last month????

Moved to May's thread...
