From one shadow hat wearer to another.



Best.

Dwayne

He's a pet.... And besides, he'd be tough and stringy. That's why we eat these, instead.

Mother's Day with the wife and kids at the local winery.

Daughter's newest edition to the family, Winston.

Big day for our youngest.

Dude....you're in trouble now.

Butter Cups.

You have shoe trees there, I was in Grand Cayman a few years ago and they had a flip flop tree outside this one bar I went to.

Doing some banking were you StoneCutter? LOL

I wish. You have to have money in order to do that. The government took all of mine before I could get it there.

So, Deb's 50th was Friday, our friend Joe's 56th this week, my 50th at the end of the month & Mothers day was Sunday.

Headed to Thunder Bay on Saturday, so we could celebrate with Caroline & her boyfriend Will & our best friend Joe.

Did a chef's tasting menu for the 6 of us, served family style.

Smoked pork belly & polenta cakes;


Salmon cakes;


Gnocchi;


Duck Agnolotti;


Pork fillet & Salmon, served with smoked & roasted Brussel sprouts & warm Barley salad;



Dessert - Madeira sponge with smoked caramel sauce, ; baby Panna Cotta with strawberry sauce & super rich Truffle Fudge with Banana sauce;


We've traveled the world & dined in many excellent places, but this meal, the atmosphere & our waiter made this a truly memorable meal/Celebration.

Friday night was Deb's 50th Birthday, & she attended our local Cancer fundraiser. Roped me in to be a "man in black" helper. 750 ladies & 65 men in black.



Suave dude, in tux !





Take note of the wine the girls were drinking !



I did get propositioned !

A lot !

Cyn and I took the dogs back into our woods. I hadn't been back in there for a while but it'd been a LONG time since she had; we had a female Nubian goat that liked me but would go after Cyn.... anyway, look what Chloe found!



Chloe is a Tibetan terrier aka Dokhi Apso; not a terrier at all but a distinct Tibetan breed. Dokhi Apso means something like "shaggy outside dog".... grin... she's a unique dog in my experience. Very bonded to us but utterly lacks that fawning "pet me!" energy that most dogs have. She's quite dignified in her shaggy little [bleep] of a way. She looks completely different when she's completely shorn down, which will be happening here real soon for the summer....

I couldn't really hunt back in there due to the goats, either. They'd follow me out (they were afraid to go too deep into the woods, but LOVED to follow me out anytime I went out there, and would bawl their heads off if I closed the gate to stop them).... but I'm thinking I might put up a tree stand back there now that the goats are gone.

Don! I got one of them little turd chunkin primates that shows around here too!

This is a pure bred Chug Retriever. He's 1/2 Chiwawa and 1/2 Pug and won't stop retrieving. If he was about 6 times larger, I could turn him into a world class gun dog.

Stoney, are those garlic chives, in the bottom picture ?

Nope, I guess I was wrong !
