Sunday May 26, 2019

The dogs started pestering me at 4:30am so I gave in at 5am and took them for a dark, early walk. It had rained at some time in the night so everything was a little soggy. I am not a fan of walking in wet flip-flops.

Watching the Formula 1 race at David's was called off because his new app was not letting him access. What a bummer, he buys their best package and it doesn't work..! I can watch it at 10:30 tonight but I doubt that I will last past 8pm...

So we got busy with plannning, cleaning, washing, cutting, and more for the expected company later. I gathered oranges and made a jug of juice. I cleaned and cut the celery stalks and gathered my spices and chilled the vodka. I made a new pot of coffee too. Then I had my salad for lunch and did my clean-up.

I did not have to go and pick up Aram and family because they decided that 3 blocks in the wheelchair was manageable, and they showed up misraculously right at 2pm. David came by at 2:20.

I had Antipasto and Ritz on the table and that was a big hit. Then I got busy making our Canadian Calgary drink, Bloody Caesars, because we were able to get Mott's Clamato Juice at LA14. I hardly drink at all and can't honestly remember the last time I enjoyed a Caesar, but we 3 guys had 2 mugs and loved every minute of it, draining the 26 oz. Cristina had a few sips of mine but Liliana and Yireh, her 10-year-old daughter, don't drink.

Aram is a Kurdish Jew who fought ISIS for 3 years in Iraq. Then he did counter-terrorist training in Norway and Finland. He has traveled a lot.

Liliana was born here in Colombia but lived a lot in Miami with her mother where Yireh was born. So we had 4 different nationalities breaking bread today.

Yireh was a delightful guest and thoroughly enjoyed being with our 10 dogs.

Then we brought out the surprise cake for David's 78th Birthday tomorrow. Yes, 78, not 79, so I was smart to get the 3 numbers yesterday. This was a wine, fruit and nut cake but looked like a chocolate cake. It actually was quite tasty.

I saw 3 hummers at dusk vying for the feeders but the Tyrian Metaltail was chasing the others away. Bad shots. Sorry.

I have it on reliable authority that the Google subscription is glitching again.. Not my fault and I do want to keep my readership so I hope you folks will bookmark the page and visit often. I enjoy your occasional feedback.

I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
