Wine tasting theme this past week was Australia. Really loved the table decorations.], wine, food, and company!
My work place in the garage is all set up with the tools I still think I will use. But for now it is pretty humid out there. Wood block carving will be something I will do first!
Of course, when Patrick arrives, there will be a 80 lb. punching bag hanging in front of the dehumidifier.
Friday night I had a party for most of the neighborhood. Over thirty came over for food and drink.
I was so happy that I had Epic Catering make the food. It was delicious and none of us had to do anything but show up and enjoy each other’s company. Most everyone brought flowers and wines. Sadie eats flowers only to toss up later. So what didn’t fit out of reach was given away for others to enjoy.
Then it was all about the No Kings Rally the following day. Here is my sign.
And some rally shots.
I just noticed that someone in the front of the last picture had enlarged my image of trump and WRONG! to use as a protest sign. There were 640 who rallied against the imbecilic, cruel, egomaniacal trump….and only five trump supporters, mostly in pickups with trump flags hanging out the back and driving back and forth. It was quite the show as they waved fingers at peaceful protesters. There was even one ornery couple shoving their way through old ladies on the sidewalk and yelling for them to get out of the way! Trump supporters seem to be quietly embarrassed or offensively angry. I can’t wait for the next rally!
Politics are not discussed on the corner in the morning or at neighborhood get togethers. My party included the trump-signed neighbors and we had a lovely time. One of the most obvious ones asked me quietly if I would accept an invitation to come to his house for a drink sometime. I couldn’t say “sure” fast enough. Of course, that was only after I told him with a straight face that I only drank single malt scotch, preferably 12 or more years old. He apologized that he may not have any of that, so I assured him I would bring my own and was looking forward to the invitation.
So I better get this off. Get more steps in on my way to 7,000. And have a few leftover meatballs with wine for lunch.
Til later….
