New Year's Eve

*New Year’s Eve-  Jill had Ric and I over for a Champagne Brunch…. Very nice.   

Sausage Gravy and Biscuits, Fresh Pineapple, Raspberries and Blueberries….  With MIMOSAS!

Ric and I went home and spent the night watching the annual Twilight Zone Marathon on SY FY.  Sipped on champagne, nibbled on boiled shrimp, a 2 year old Irish Cheddar, Sesame Flat Bread, and Baked Brie.  Very low-key.  Very nice.

Dec. 29th and 30th

*Thurs. 12/29-  Dom hit the road at 8am and spent the night just South of Tuscaloosa.

Amy and the girls headed home at 12:30.

Ric’s arm had been killing him for a couple of weeks, so he headed to a local Instant Care…. Ended up with a diagnosis of Tendonitis.

When he returned, the 2 of us took our annual jaunt to Jungle Jim’s.  

This about the neatest grocery store that I’ve ever been to.  They’ve got imported cheeses, butters, and other assorted dairy products.  

They have a HUGE seafood market.  An entire hot sauce department....  As well as any international food that you can imagine.  I’m in awe of the place.  We plan on a couple hours minimum when we visit here.  Love it, love it, love it!

On the way home, Ric and I stopped at Toot’s for a couple of $1.00 draft beers, then went home and ate leftovers.

 

*Fri. 12/30-  Did some running around town looking for a set of Double 9 dominoes for Ric…. They were not to be found.

Jennifer met us for lunch at Tabby’s…. good food!

Later, Ric and I headed up to Best Buy.  He walked out as the proud owner of a 10 ½ inch Samsung Galaxy Tab. Gorgeous!

Wed. 12/28... Abuelo's

*Wed. 12/28-  While the boys went to a shooting range, we girls continued our pajama party well into the afternoon.

Eventually, the 6 of us went to Abuelo’s.  MY favorite Mexican joint.  Very nice place and excellent food.

Returned home to drink beer and play Phase 10 and Yahtzee until 5am.  (The boys went to sleep around midnight, but we Newbury Girls were having too much fun to sleep!)

More Pictures from Toot's 12/27

Tues, Dec. 27th with Amy

*Tues. 12/27- The boys took off doing boy stuff while I stripped the goose carcass and made Ric some soup for his freezer.

Best friend Amy and her girls, Ursula and Elsa drove down from Newbury. (My home town in the Cleveland area)

The 6 of us met Jill, Ryan and Brooke at Toot’s. We got out of there cheap- Buck draft beers, $6.00 Cheeseburgers and kids ate free!

Went back to the house and played Yahtzee. Very pleasant day/evening!
