When I took Lewis to the ballgame he was horrified that I got us lost. Even he figured out where we were before I did. I told him "I am always lost". Saturday I proved it.

Micca called last night and is planning a formal dinner for August. Wines for every course. He was actually asking me if I preferred this vegetable over that and this dessert over that. In frustration, I pointed out that it was months away and did not have to be organized today. LOL He is as bad as Jacqui trying to organize me. Is it a Brit thing?

My only request is that this time someone else cleans the salad dressing off the walls - Micca is a somewhat enthusiastic chef.

My daughter has a sweatshirt that says "Runs with scissors!"

I've asked Micca what foods I should lay in and that he cannot count on my cooking, as I don't, and he's been telling me not to worry, etc., etc., so Mary...without getting fancy send me a grocery list will you? **BG**

He will be busy here...we have something like 35+ vineyards, one of which is literally out the door of the B&B he will be at (there are also buffalo next door!)so I figure I shall play chauffeur taking himself round to each and every one for a tasting or two. Oh, and then there's also the meadery!

Mary, the provisional date for my arrival in Boston, and therefore in Maine is 30 July, now all I have to do is find "the woman with the guitar" so I can be met at Portland bus station( no, not THAT bus station , the other one) Do you think I should send Tami a photo so that she will recognise me?

My Rog was remarking the other day that he heard Santa's elves take their summer vacation in Juneau which they consider the "northern" Riviera and that gnomes would be welcome amongst them. I told him Micca might be more comfortable at the Gnome Convention in Nome. Apparently they hope to copy the same as has been held in Australia!

John McKenzie specifically asked for this...heh heh. The Travelocity Gnome is somewhere between Maryland and Maine. NJ, I believe. And should be arriving in Maine tonight. The fair Tami will meet him at the bus station and deliver him to my house where I expect to be sound asleep - I caught the Getaway cold and am a bit under the weather.

I posted him off on the 12:15 train after he single handedly tried to jump start the American economy down on Church Street. Okay note to self walking into a Wine store with Micca is done only when time is not at a premiumn.
He got to watch my dear hubby watch Obama and McCain debate. I think he was watching the watchers, more than the show....
Made for a great transition back to the real world.

But it was time for movin' on .....

Haha! Tink, that's why I took a book along when I drove him around to the different wineries out here! (Actually, I had a sore foot and could only sit and wait in the car, anyway and, he was very good about not taking too, too long. It was fun to hear his surprise each time he found a good wine.:-)

I am deeply shocked!! what will I do for breakfast now???
It was a feature of my visits for 6 years!! and now , "gone, gone and never called me Mother!!", I have arrived at Marys, and am being very quiet as she is not at all well,
Tink is right, I was watching Jarius watching the "debate" last night!!, his reactions told me a lot.
and the wine shop was very special!! It was like going to Thorntons ( a UK shop specialising in hand made chocolates) with Liz the Squeak!!!
as for the Getaway... well, that will have to wait for another day for a fuller report, suffice to say that it was WELL up to the high standards of previous ones!!

P.S. Allison, I will call in the morning!

Thornton's moved. It is not gone forever. And I will see to it that you get to visit the new location. But be forewarned - it is further upscale and not nearly as cozy. The wine selection seemed a bit off to me too.

Meantime, I am here at work inflicting my misery on fellow employees.
REMINDER TO MICCA: Tylenol and grits.

Dinner party Saturday night so don't make any other plans. The usual suspects will be there.

And to the top where Giok waits anxiously to catch up on Micca's latest adventure.

He is on his way down to pORTSMOUTH THIS EVENING FOR FRIENDS AND SONG. tHEN BACK TO mAINE FOR A BELATED BIRTHDAY PARTY (dAMN cAPSLOCK) with assorted friends on Saturday PM.
Sunday with Alison possibly.
We are keeping him busy. BUT...the new Thornton's doesn't serve breakfast!!!!! What were they thinking? So Micca and Tami visited Uncle Andy's - a friendly place with a hearty breakfast.

Oops, probably now is a good time to announce my recent schedule change (as of this week).

My day off is now TUESDAY not Thursday, so I hope Micca will be with us the early part of the week. The rest of the days next week I work until 6:00 -- two days at JCPenney's Optical and 3 days at Sears Optical.

I'm now officially an optech and just got a HUGE (right) 30 cent an hour raise.

Ah well. At least I have a JOB!!!

See you tonight at The Press Room, Micca!

Speaking of the press room - last saturday ran into a young gentleman at the "Run of the Mill" in Plymouth who says he "grew up on" the Press Room friday night sings. Good shanty singer - but he says he never has got to one of the monthly shanty sings!

(didn't get his name though) He is currently working at King Richard's faire in Carver.
