Good 39ยบ drizzling morning. According to the 'weather people' it wasn't
supposed to rain until late tonight. Fine. Then we are in for a BIG storm, with
lots of wind and rain. Who knows.
Yesterday I met up with Bill and Jeannie for a drink to celebrate their
anniversary at Blondie's Bistro.
(just playin' with Photoshop!)
We had a nice chat and then went to the Elk's lodge for a glass of wine,
where Willie, the bartender, treated them to their drink. Came home and had a
bowl of Progresso Minestrone (really good soup!).
