@ehBeth,
grins, me too.
Also, Diane and I had quite the fun day yesterday. First of all, we stopped off at goodwill for donating and foraging in the books and miscellaneous stuff and clothing sections. I got a book I look forward to by Wallace Stegner, two great red bowls, and best of all, a mug with wonderful Moose depicted on it. Moose make me smile a lot. All that for $4.97.
Except - mine says Maine, not Vermont
Then we went to Nicky V's, which is still run by the same people, but has a new name, something something brewing company. Still great food though, and a new excellent waiter. I had the unbeatable Fugi salad, and she had the truly delicious Orvieto pasta; a mix of serious talk and a lot of laughing.
