@Dutchy,

Good morning, Dutchy.
It's great to see you here! Smile

It's cold here, too.
Ah well ....

Being Mother's Day I'm taking my wife out for lunch at a seaside restaurant. Will be my first outing since my illness, she is driving and I'm paying the bill.

That sounds like a fair swap to me.
Your first outing? Sounds like you're on the up & up!
Excellent to hear.
Enjoy the fish!
Happy Mothers Day, Mrs D. Smile

11:06 am ....

After receiving your & Deb's compliments perhaps I'd better get actually stuck into some work soon, hey?
Been sitting at this computer for a couple of hours now, just talking about it. Razz

Cold overcast Sunday morning here in Adelaide. Being Mother's Day I'm taking my wife out for lunch at a seaside restaurant. Will be my first outing since my illness, she is driving and I'm paying the bill.

Great! Could it be Star of Greece?

@dlowan,

Thank you Ossobuco and msolga, Mrs D. deserves it after nursing me the last few weeks.

Not the Star of Greece Deb, but a restaurant at the end of the Glenelg marina. I can't remember the name but it is very popular.

hbg, We visited the Crazy Horse Monument yesturday, and learned from the daughter ofan author of Native American History that many Germans visit this area of the US. There are many Germans who practice Indian dancing in full Indian regalia. This is the first time I learned about this history.

and we can thank KARL MAY for the popularity :

Quote:

Karl Friedrich May ( /ˈmaɪ/ MY; 25 February 1842 – 30 March 1912) was a popular German writer, noted mainly for adventure novels set in the American Old West, (best known for the characters of Winnetou and Old Shatterhand) and similar books set in the Orient and Middle East (with Kara Ben Nemsi and Hadschi Halef Omar). In addition, he wrote stories set in his native Germany, in China and in South America. May also has written poetry and a play, and composed music; he also was proficient player of several musical instruments. Many of his works were filmed, adapted for the stage, turned into audio dramas or into comics. A highly imaginative and fanciful writer, May never visited the exotic places featured in his stories until late in life, when the clash between fiction and reality led to a complete change in his work.

It's almost 8:30 pm here and I had the best Mother's Day of all today -
I felt so pampered and spoiled, I certainly was the queen of the day Laughing

probably gained 5 lbs. in the course of pampering too, but it was so worth it.
I've grown about 2 feet today with all the ego stroking I got!!

That's so good to hear, Dutchy! We expect a full recovery and then no more hanky panky with the hospital staff for another 30 years or so...

We also went to a nice seaside restaurant for lunch.

It's 1:19 AM EST. I am thinking of how it is 6:19 AM in London. I concentrate on London because I sent a piece to Granta and I am waiting to hear from them. It is also less than a week until I turn 65. What a thought.

@plainoldme,

Happy birthday for the day!

It's 4.30pm Monday here. Just come in from dentist where I was supposed to have tooth extraction.

I wussed out. Never done that before. They have stopped offering any inhalant sedation. I sailed through last extraction with just a bit of that.now I have to go to a bloody oral surgeon. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

I was shaking so much thought I'd bite her hand off.

Being comforted by cats who admire me no matter how neurotic I am.

@Walter Hinteler,

It's now 9:55pm, and our tour group is getting our accommodations at the Holiday Inn at the west gate to Yellowstone National Park. We drove through the northern part of the park from Sheridan, and will see most of the park tomorrow.

your ass ci. Unless you are gonna be going 65 mph. The damn park is big as Connecticut . ALst time I was there I barely got through some old "ghost" settlements that we were trying to photo.
You should be getting to see some remnants of the snows in the backwoods areas and meadows.

PS, its 5:30AM EDT here in lovely downtown Dutch Country

@farmerman,

Yeah I too was shocked when I visted Jellystone just how big it is and how long it took to drink it in. I planned 2 days for it and that was about right for me (photographer) with a non-photo person in tow.

It's 12:22 pm in almost-ready-to-rain-and-quite-steamy Sarasota, FL

@Ragman,

It's now 8:15pm, and today was another fantastic day of touring Yellowstone National Park. We watched Old Faithful give a good show, and we had dinner at a restaurant on the property.
