Oh What A Night

Oh what a glorious weekend.

The weather whispered of fall,

and 

It was full of some of my favorite things.

Friends, food and fun.

Friday started with lunch at Panera Breads.

A forever friend and her children met

 Jamison, Lauren and Matilda and me.

It was the best lunch and visit ever!

Nesli, you are the best and your children are charming.

***

Friday night, Larry and I had a date at Marcus Cafe.

Wine, salad and pizza!

Not to mention one of my favorite desserts ever

PINEAPPLE!

oh, yes it is...Merci Thierry!

***

Saturday morning took me to Costco and Target.

It was a day of running errands.

And,

I bought a new toaster!

I have not had one in years and I adore toast.

Today, I will be trying it out.

Saturday evening brought many smiles...

It was a great day.

***

Sunday started with the creation of a dessert.

A chocolate mousse.

Then

I bit the bullet and did something I had been putting off for ages.

Making Larry's favorite dinner.

Duck.

While I was cooking, we

Nibbled crackers & cheese, drank Campagne

and Played chess.

Oui.

I won. Again. Ha

Then dinner......what can I say?

Amazing...It was amazing.

What a night....oh what a night.

(Sunday movie was Amelie

Wine: Cheateu Greysac.)

We had the best weekend.

And guess what?

It is now a beautiful, rainy Monday.

Sign this: still feeling happy in Texas

Love you,

Me
