Dom's Garage is Finished

Man, these guys worked fast!  It's finished.  Now, as soon as it gets cool, we can restore the game room back to how it was.

I was thinking about doing some landscaping along the side of the garage, but think I might just plant alot of garlic instead.

Mallard Ducks and Deer Sausage from Breaux Bridge, LA..... DELICIOUS!

I'd mentioned in a prior post that my Cajun girlfriend, Vickie, loaded us up with goodies.

On Saturday, I put this together.... 2 Mallard Ducks and 2 links of Deer Sausage, on a bed of chopped celery, onion and garlic.  Loaded it up with black and cayenne pepper and a little salt.  Put in a BIG blast of Cabernet.  Cooked at 250 degrees all day.  Served with white rice.

OMG!  One of the tastiest things ever to come out of my kitchen.  I regret that I did not show it plated, and the "after" picture has some leftover rice in it.  (Dem gizzards and hearts were out of this world, Cher!)

Back to the Beach Week 2- SERENITY NOW!

Hi gang....

A quick report on Week 2 at the beach.  I was originally going to come back home a day or 2 later than Vickie, but I felt cheated.  Whined to Dom over the phone that the water was gorgeous, had gotten plenty of sun but no swimming time.  "Nanette.... I don't give a shit.... stay another week if you want".    (He didn't have to tell me twice... yippee!   Man, I've got a great husband!)

Went down to our exercise room every morning and worked out on my abs and hips.  Told Dom that he's gonna have a "hard-belly" for an old lady!  (This, btw, delights him.... can see my flatter gut already!).

Enjoyed the steam room several times, and stuck with my new healthy diet.  Might have bummed 5 smokes at the bar the entire week.  This E-Cigarette is "the bomb"!  Love it....

Hung out on the beach all week.... glorious.

Tropical Storm?  What tropical storm?

Check out the eye-contact from a couple of these fellas.

Would make a daily afternoon visit to visit Donn across the street, then back in the condo by 5 or 6 every afternoon.   Truly an enjoyable week.  Even broke the rules and fed my seagulls a few times.

Enjoyed the solitude!  As Seinfeld's Frank Costanza would say, "SERENITY NOW!!!!!"

Kitties in Boxes.... aka "time to clean windows"....

My Jada and Mimi.....  and a catalyst for cleaning my windows!

Dom's Latest Project.... an Addition to the Game Room

Hi gang....

While I was floundering on the beach, Dom had some action over here.  He built our "game room" about 5 (?) years ago.  It was absolutely pristine.  Bar, pool table, foos-ball, dart board, beer lights, Zappa posters, stereo, television, the works.

And then, along came Multiple Myeloma.

During my cleaning frenzy of our home, in which we've lived for 20+ years, I turned the house upside down.  As you who are familiar with MM know, the house needed to be sparkling clean upon his return from his stem cell transplant.

Much of our home ended up in the "game room".

Then, along came his new Corvette.  Rag Top.... didn't want the cats anywhere near it.  

Rearranged the "game room" to fit the Corvette.

Then, his mother passed away.... more corruption in the "game room".

It's a vicious cycle, gang!   LOL.

So.... Dom got a contractor buddy going on a new garage/junk room.  We shall soon have our game room back in good condition!  He's adding on to the original building.  They're moving the overhead door into the new building.  

Contractor, Daniel, will be putting in windows and moving the door tomorrow.... has to wait for the gables (??) to be finished.

I'll be posting updates on this entry for those of you who are interested.  (Kinda boy-stuff, if you ask me).  The Dom is tickled, thus I am, too!  (By the way..... doesn't Dominic look great???!!!)
