I shouldn't complain. It's only 88 here today. But with 46% humidity, it feels hotter. Good thing the ice machine is working.
Here, CJ...have some!
I'm glad everyone's enjoying their sangria. Seems like we've reopened the Wine Cellar just in time...
Bombings, hurricanes...
But we're a natural fallout shelter here. Underground, as we are.
Anyone need words of comfort or a soft shoulder? We're open. And the bar is fully stocked.
Come on in.
-wanders in-
Ohh. Nice....
I'll be back when I can sit and have a drink.
There's always time for Sangria ....
It's been a VERY long day.
Do we have a bartender, or is it get-it-yourself?
Eva is gone on vacation to Colorado, she may be back in about a week. Selfserve is the current mode.
someone pass me the Jack Daniels....
Thank you dys. I'm taking my LARGE glass of wine out on the veranda.
I hauled out the JD for you, KC.
Salut!
Ain't no JD in this here high class joint, we serve
Cheers Cleo!
good ol' Makers Mark.....
pulling up a comfy chair and holding out my glass..
someone fill osso's glass up will you...my hands are full
Oops, osso forgot and her hand fell asleep...
glass crashed to the ornately tiled floor,
osso had to go find the broom as Jacques was off galavanting in Majorca.
Osso finds new glass, a stash of ice to put the wine bottle in, the bottle opener, and a nice crisp tocai friulano...
looks around for the hors d'oevres....
I think Cleo took the last of them out to the balcony
*opening up purse* oooh what about some salted peanuts?
*offering the unopened bag to everyone*
<walking in the room, looking as if a spotlight were on her and the band just stopped playing>
Hello, everyone! I'm back!
Dys, have you been handing out that nasty bourbon again? All out of Southern Comfort, I suppose?
Jacques...could you please mop up that puddle near Osso's table? The air conditioner always leaves a trace of condensation this time of year. But with Osso's current luck, we really shouldn't take any chances...
KiwiChic! Welcome to Eva's. Salted peanuts, you say? Have you just come from the airport? Oh well, nevermind. We're glad you're here. Please stay awhile.
Cleo, Tico...what can we get you?
It's so nice to be back among friends. <sigh>
Well, I can only stay a bit. But a large Captain & Coke would hit the spot right about now.
<Opening the door, saying Hello!>
Here y'go, Tico....<sliding glass down the bar>
So, what have you been up to since I've been away?
<winking at handsome Francis>
I had a very nice vacation, but it's always good to be back here among friends.
