First things first: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!
Yesterday I had the pleasure of joining Mistress Maddie for a boozy chatty gossip-filled lunch. She, being the generous fabulous marvelous soul she is, brought me presents:
A hand-made bamboo cheese board from P-town and my fave gin distilled in Philly. THANK YOU MADDIE! LUNCH WAS FUN AS ALWAYS! SMOOCH! One question: why are all your friends named Peter, Dick, or Willie?
Maddie was the first to see this item in person:
Yes, I knitted my own summer tote bag; took 3 weeks using a 100% cotton yarn. Looks delicious enough to eat, right? I call it my summer sherbet bag.
More baby sweaters are being made:
One co-worker's wife and one of my gym trainers are having babies later this year; they each received a red sweater.
The crape myrtle is in bloom:
And the cats are doing their thing:
And I felt so butch after putting this little item together:
A hibachi, for when the large charcoal grill is way too much. This is just right for smaller cook-outs. Today it will be used for pork chops.
The Sherbet Bag looks dee-lish!
ReplyDeleteAnd of course MM came with liquor!
Lastly ... a hibachi!! I need one of those for when I don't feel like firing up Big Papi ... the grill, not Carlos!
amazon, bob; that's where we found this little gem!
DeleteLoves to the kitties. And loves for the
ReplyDeleteknitting. Always loves to Maddie :-)
maddie said she would LOVE to meet you! and so would I!
DeleteOh .... to be a fly on the wall during that luncheon .... if I had been the server I would have pulled up a chair and sat myself down for the 'dish'.
ReplyDelete~ Freckles
the server was a cutie; I asked him if he was part of the dessert menu!
DeleteYou are a whiz with needles! Nice bag and baby sweater!
ReplyDeleteFLY NEEDLES FLY! (said in a wicked witch of the west voice)
DeleteI love pork chops!
ReplyDeletewell, you should have dropped by for dinner last night!
DeleteI'm so glad you met the Mistress, Anne Marie! Did you guys hug? I don't know how the Mistress would feel about getting a chestful of your jahoobies!
ReplyDeleteOF COURSE we did! but the mistress has no interest in my jahoobies.
DeleteThe pussies look in wary, or even startled, mode. Whatever's made them more alert hope that they're back now in a 'guardian' frame of mind.
ReplyDeleteGive them all a gentle stroke from Albion, would you please?
RTG woke them from a nap. they are always sweet-natured. many many strokes will be given this evening.
DeleteI love the sherbet bag, and I love seeing the kitties. I'm glad you got to meet Mistress, but when I first saw the first picture I was thinking "Who's getting spanked? Oh, wait a minute. That's a cutting board of some type."
ReplyDeleteTHAT was my first thought - she bought me something with which to spank the spouse. she even told me to bore holes in it if I were going to use it for that purpose. NOT ON YOUR LIFE!
Deletemaddie and I met for the first time 2 years ago; we get together for an annual bitchfest. maddie lives about 30 minutes from my location.
i can't believe the mistress had any gin..........
DeleteLove Crepe Myrtle, wanted to put it curbside but knew it would get too tall and PP&L would end up shearing off the tops.
ReplyDeleteand we know how gentle they are with growing living things - NOT! as bad as PECO in this area.
DeleteIt was a rather lovely gin infused afternoon wasn't it? Always so nice to see you tootes!
ReplyDeletewe always drink doylestown dry, don't we? lovely way to spend an afternoon - gin & maddie! :)
DeleteYour knitting is absolutely gorgeous Anne Marie. You have a great talent. I must also admit I'm a bit jealous you met the Mistress. I can't imagine that lunch.
ReplyDeletethank you, dear; everyone is an artist in his/her own way. mine just happens to be with 2 sticks and some string.
Deletelunch was laughter, one-liners, double entendres, booze, food, good times; but no sex. :)
