Lola at the Coffee House, Cafe 101

Montana- I make my yearly pilgrimage to NY during the summer. It would be great if we could be there at the same time. Then the two of us could bug Frank! :wink:

Yeh, Im looking forward to it.

Wow! Somebody started a party and I didn't know.......

Happy New Year to all. The fireworks started here at exactly midnight last night. It was lovely. Bernie pooped out on me before the clock struck 12. He was sleeping.......until I waked him up to see the fireworks. He was a bit unenthusiastic. Party pooper. But that's ok, we kept each other busy earlier in the day......us old folks and our sudden stops.

Beth, that's a great photo of Bernie. Was he opening the gate or closing it? He says he's always wanted to be a one of those guys who opens up one of those gates. Now he is. We should take a photo of the window in it's holiday attire before we take it down on Wednesday. We're taking off tomorrow too.

Sorry we've been in unattendance here at the cafe. December was a very difficult month. We made lots of money though. Now it's time to slow down and take a breather before we start on Valentine's Day.

Wait a minute...........Wassau! Drinks for everyone......I'll light the fire.

Now, let's get this straight. Who's coming to New York when? It's Walter in June.......can't wait! Phoenix around the same time? And Farmerman sometime.......I hope soon. Beth in June and maybe Montana. Wande? What about you? Dys and Diane owe us a visit big time. tick tock tick tock. McTag and Fiona have promised to come for a visit again soon. Maybe in June? Maybe? And Thomas.....where the heck are you?

Timber, surely we can talk you into coming our way. georgeob says he's coming for a visit......but I'll believe it when I see it. He chickened out on us in November. Maybe he'll surprise us and make it someday. george? Are you out there?

High Seas........nice to see you here. Take a seat and we'll have a glass of wine.....red for you and white of course for me.

And Frank.......so you made it back. It's about time. I'm sorry to hear about your shoulder. I know it's cramping your style. Come by and see us, you old fart. Find Kicky again while you're at it and drag him along as well.

JLN and Osso.........where'd you go?

Now this group has some potential. All we need now is Spendi.

Anyone else hiding in the corners? Come on out. Betty and Bob have been lonely.

Happy to see you all.......Love ya

Hi, Lola. How's tricks? Good to see ya.

I didn't make it to 12 myself. The kids pooped me out with basketball, swimming and bike riding, then a huge meal and a few drinks .. put on a movie and I was out. ... Must be getting old.

Hi Tico,

We watched Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.......hilarious. I recommend it..... But tonight we weren't so lucky. The Black Dahlia was a disappointment and a big one.

What did you watch before not making it to midnight?

And when are you coming to New York?

Great! I just borrowed a copy from my BIL. Looking forward to watching it.



Ghostbusters.

I seem to be doing more traveling to the West than I am to the East these days. When are you coming to Phoenix?

I'm afraid that might be a never, but one never knows. Is Phoenix near Tuscon? There's a big bead show there twice a year.....eventually I'll have to make it out there for that. I understand one must have hotel reservations a year in advance.

But Bernie has a hard time getting me to leave New York. I like it here and I'm not fond of travelling. Much to Bernie's dismay.

Enjoy Ricky Bobby. Hilariously fun.

Do they serve Irish coffee here?
Would anyone mind if I took my boots off?

This place is filled with foreigners. Well they are foreign to me anyhow.

G'day all. *big grin*

You still have your boots on? By all means, do take them off. We're relaxed around here. I've had my boots off for days.

Do you want those earrings? I can make them easy and send them fast. Let me know.

Dadpad,

I don't believe we've met. Welcome to the cafe. Take off your shoes like the rest of us and stay a while.

Somebody put on some good music please.

Dys, Where are you with the music?

We will communicate later about the earrings, dearest Lola, to finalise the style. What colour do you think would go best with my eyes?

Tonight we had American-style hotdogs using German frankfurters, English mustard, Indian samosas and bhajis, and an Austrian stollen cake slice with a cup of English tea to finish. International or what?

I like samosas, McTag. I've got some pictures from our party. Send me your email address and I'll give you a link to them.

Cannot stand stollen it cant decide whether it wants to be bread or fruitcake.

Pleased to meet you lola I've heard a lot about you. All good things of course!

Well it IS a bit rich. We only eat it once a year.

But....I like bread. And I like fruitcake. What's so wrong about a combination?

It all gets combined anyway.

Stollen yummmmmm

I used to make a very good light stollen - no citrus - just lotsa lotsa raisins and currants and dried cranberries - slivered almonds - with the stollen wrapped in an Amaretto-soaked cloth for at least a month. mmmmmmmm


Well, now that I'm in a cooking mood ... banana-pecan waffles and peameal bacon ... anyone?

Wow, a trip to Canada sounds perfect right about now. I can smell the bacon. Add an extra setting Bethie and I'll get there as soon as possible.

Lights go down. You'd swear you could hear a pin drop. You wonder, briefly, if there was maybe a pin in your purse. Would that work? But checking finds that all you have is a small crescent wrench and you could drop one of those in a rave or Bush cabinet meeting or a Lithuanian lesbian orgy and everyone present would hear it.

So, you drop it anyway. Anything for attention. But this is town-crier stuff. In long, slow arcs the hand at the end of that arm in the velvet coat swings a bell.

They are to be wed.

I suippose we ought to have seen it coming, hell, even back here.... http://www.able2know.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=759&start=0
