Update, Thanks, Congrats & a sprinkle of Debbie D

Good Morning and welcome to this years' second spring !! Live from the rainy Beauce where the streets are being overrun by slush and a huge inland lake from clooded drains is slowly filling up I come to you for a holiday update. Brunch was good this morning if not simple and bleak. By bleak I of course mean my own plate and not the compagny doe only 4 of us did showed up despite reserving for 12 ... Suffice to say we had a biggg space at our disposal at the restaurant, héhéhéhé. Question, why did all the other plates at our table have bright yellows, oranges, whites, browns and gold and not mine ? Well I did have whites, pale blueish pink and brown toast on a big ass white plate.... looked pretty bleak but atleast the food was good.

Last night was the last of the christmas 09 gifts vintage. The twists this year was that it was held on the 8th floor communal area where my grand parants now reside. Beautiful view and despite the altidue, we had no raw cattle or frogs flown in from the local birds of prey but sliced, diced, mashed and individually wrapped rations of kinda warm food. And by kinda I am referring here to the fact that the burners / food tray warmers sort of ran out of heat near 8 pm. Might have something to do with them being turned on for 4 hours straight... Then again I could be wrong. In any case it was good to see everyone again.

THink that's it for the Debbie Downer segment... LOL

I do believe congradualtionS are in order ... Congrats Robert & Sandie for getting itched and Sandy and Matt for the second "bun in the hoven" lol. Seriously, congradualtion to you guys, best whishes for years to come !
