A quiet Friday..., a similar Saturday...

Brian started the morning working out at the gym.  Keep in mind, he gets up at 6:00 AM to do this!!!  Breakfast when he got home.  We both had no desire to go anywhere after the break neck days getting the quilting passport stamped.

So we chilled on Friday and then got motivated to head to Merlin's Rest for Brian's Friday night traditions.  He meets his friend Matt (Squid) and Janice (Lemur) for drinks and dinner and has done this for years.  Now he has added Kurt (no nickname) and his wife, Lisa, to the crew.

We got there first and corralled the corner booth.  Kurt (Brian goes fly fishing with him) and spouse arrived first.  Introductions all around.  Then Squid arrived.  Hugs and kisses  Finally Janice arrives.  No hugs, she is very tired, surprised to find me there and almost seemed peeved.  But she had a hard few weeks and was going to have to work the weekend, so I think I would be a tad surly as well.

Drinks ordered.... food ordered and chats had about their weeks.  I oidered Fish and Chips, English style with vinegar.  Brian ordered "Wee Lamb Sliders".  All of the food ordered was delicious and the night did not go very late at all.  Not as jovial as in years past, but fun, nonetheless

Saturday, it rained.

The dogs did not want to go out.  Neither did Brian and I.  I stayed in my caftan until it was time to think about dinner.

Brian suggested going to Matt's Bar for a "Juicy Lucy" which was fine with me, but the line was out the door, so we altered our course and went to Ted Cook's Nineteenth Hole BBQ.  We ordered a half a slab and a half a chicken with slaw and potato chips (actual potatoes, thinly sliced and baked.... yummy).  This was takeout, so we came home and had some of the best BBQ I have had in a long time.  Slow cooked, smoked just right and sauced perfectly.  One would have thought we were in the deep south.

Sorry, no pictures.  It was devoured before I even thought about pictures.  Watched football, hockey in the evenings and the Premiere League Soccer in the mornings.

Sunday will be a tad more active... Stay tuned.
