GOOD FRIENDS, GREAT FOOD AND A GOOD GAME!1
GOOD EVENING, ALL MY DEAR DS FRIENDS. IT IS NOW AFTER 8 P.M. HERE IN NOVA SCOTIA. OUR COMPANY JUST LEFT. WE HAD MY GIRL FRIEND AND HER HUBBY OVER FOR ANOTHER MEAL AND MEXICAN DOMINOS. SUPPER WAS A SUCCESS. I SERVED SWEET CORN, MAPLE GLAZED CARROTS, WHIPPED POTATOES, AND MY SPECIAL MEATLOAF. OF COURSE, THE COUP DE GRAD WAS MY HOMEMADE MAPLE CHEESECAKE. I HAD THE CANDLES FOR 52 ON IT AND WE SANG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ROBERT. HE WAS VERY TOUCHED. AND HE RAVED ABOUT MY CHEESECAKE., WHICH IS PRETTY DARN GOOD, IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF. AS USUAL, I SENT THEM HOME WITH SOME GOODIES FOR TOMORROW.WE HAD A TERRIFIC TIME PLAYING MEXICAN DOMINOS AND THIS TIME I WON...YEAH!! IT IS SUCH A GREAT WAY TO PASS AN EVENING. WE STARTED SUPPER AT 4 AND WE HAD FINISHED AND THEY WERE HEADED HOME A LITTLE AFTER 8. SINCE I WILL BE AWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH AND THEN I HAVE A COMMITMENT ON THE 24TH WE WILL NOT BE HAVING A GET TOGETHER UNTIL THE 31ST. THIS TIME WE MAY GO TO A HOCKEY GAME AND ASK OUR OTHER FRIENDS TO JOIN US AS WELL.I HAVE NOT BEEN ON HERE MUCH THE LAST FEW DAYS AS I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF RENOVATIONS IN THE KITCHEN. NOTHING MAJOR, JUST PAINTING AND DECO-FIBERING THE WALLS. BUT IT ALL TAKES TIME AND I WANT IT DONE BEFORE TUESDAY. MY WEEK COMING UP WILL BE HECTIC WITH APPOINTMENTS AND TRYING TO PACK TO GO AWAY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING MY SISTER AGAIN AND ALL OF MY NEICES AND COUSINS. POOR MICHAEL, MY HUBBY, WILL BE ON HIS OWN FOR THANKSGIVING ( COLUMBUS DAY FOR MY AMERICAN FRIENDS). HE WON'T REALLY BE ALONE HE ALREADY HAS SEVERAL INVITATION FOR SUPPER THAT DAY.WELL, MY CRUISE PLANS ARE ALL FINALIZED. THE AIRLINE TICKETS ARE BOOKED, I HAVE THE LUGGAGE TAGS, OUR HOTEL IN ORLANDO IS RESERVED, AS WELL AS OUR HOTEL IN HALIFAX. WE FLY OUT OF HALIFAX AT 6:30 A.M. SO WE STAY AT THE AIRPORT HOTEL AND THEY HAVE FREE, SECURITY PARKING AND SHUTTLE SERVICE FOR OVERNIGHT GUESTS. THE CARNIVAL CRUISE LINES HAVE A POLICY FOR WINTER TRAVELERS IF YOU BOOK THROUGH THEM AND ARE FROM A SNOW AREA WHERE FLIGHTS MAY BE DELAYED DUE TO WEATHER. THEY FLY YOU IN THE DAY BEFORE THE CRUISE AND PAY FOR ALL THE HOTEL COSTS AND SHUTTLES. I FIGURED WE WOULD BE PUT UP IN A NICE, CLEAN HOTEL LIKE A BEST WESTERN. BUT TO MY PLEASANT SURPRISE, WE ARE BEING PUT UP AT THE ORLANDO MARRIOTT AIRPORT HOTEL!! IN 70 DAYS WE WILL BE IN OUR HOTEL!!!!WELL, I AM TIRED NOW AND I HAVE SOME TV SHOWS SAVED THAT I WANT TO WATCH. SO GOOD NIGHT AND SLEEP WELL. DEBBIE
