Having some great friends over for dinner.

Its going to be 100 degrees today, and the next 5 days, so this is the only IH, I will be wearing. Instead of BLING BLING, I'll call it SNAP SNAP.

Having dinner with family in Blowing Rock, NC. tonight.

This is my 2 cents worth input, I think these sizing questions are like beating a dead horse. I'm getting a head ache constantly reading the same requests, questions, complaints, and then appropriately answered. It kind of gets to a point of if it's not working, then maybe it's time to move on to another brand.

Drove down to Charleston, SC. with Giles and Paula for an introductory tour yesterday, @Ralph took some photos of Charleston, Had a memorable evening at the bar in the hotel, went to a French restaurant 39 Rue De Jean, dinner and drinks which was great, and then returned to the bar at the hotel.

Returned home today, I previously invited @sabergirl and Marcia to come, which they did and had a great afternoon with the 6 of us. A very nice 2 days.

Departing Seattle Wa. 25 September will be sailing again on the Queen Elizabeth. stopping in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Puntarenas Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica, Transit the Panama Canal, Willemstad Curacao, Oranjestad Aruba. And then 22 days later arriving in Miami. I like sailing on Cunard, as I feel like I'm a bit in the UK whilst on board. 22 days, that will be interesting.

To me Thanksgiving is friends family and food. Can't name all the food, besides Turkey, Dressing / stuffing / filling, Corn spoon bread, Mashed taters, String bean casserole, salads, Pumpkin pie, my sister made a chocolate pie. Not to mention the appetizers. There was 13 great family and friends here altogether.

Merry Christmas all, and Happy Holidays. This is my usual Christmas tradition.

Asparagus and red pepper salad.
Tenderloin roast, scalloped potatoes, spinach souffle.

red velvet cake.

I returned from my vacation late Tuesday night. Last night I had a couple of drinks and went through this thread reading and looking at what I missed in the past 20 days. It looks like it was a great party, sorry I missed it. I enjoyed seeing all the familiar faces. Glad everyone had a great time. By the end and as I finished my drinks, I felt I captured the vibe of the party. Nice one.

Went to an Australian wine tasting dinner tonight. All wines were great. Not a fan of the Para Grand Tawny.

@Giles, Happy Birthday, Hope you had a great day.

There should be lots of both, especially with the drinks package.

Whoa. It sounds incredible. Don’t be stingy with the photos.

Usually it allows me 2 to 3 pics at a time depending on size of pic.

@worn2fade Congratulations.

Go Eagles, too bad for suspension.
