Dinner Guests

We have friends who we used to "do supper" with once a month ...before covid.  It has been a long time since we got together. 

I cooked, Far Guy was the sous chef.  We made New York Strip Enchiladas, Far Guy's dip with chips, grapes and melons and Kuchen without a crust...so it was a custard with raspberries and blueberries.  We had a good time. 

Buddy has been on a diet so he appreciated the handouts in the kitchen. 


He was real interested in the bear smells in the yard. 

After supper we went out for a ride. 


This old Gas Station sign is just down the road a few miles...makes for a perfect photo op!  Buddy liked the ride too!

  2. Looks like it was a perfect evening! Love the photo in front of the Texaco sign. That is so fitting.
    Wishing I could get my husband to commit to going for a ride with me to anywhere! :)

  5. I am so happy you were able to get together with old friends. We all need to start getting "out" again. You are right about that old gas station. It is the perfect back drop for the old car.

  10. Wonderful to hear! I ran into to a former co-worker the other day on the street and we visited briefly in her back yard. It's the first time I've gotten together with a friend since the beginning of the pandemic.

    I'm sure riding in the old car is feels wonderful too.

  11. Buddy is a handsome boy!

    My Grandpa was a mechanic, and he always ran a gas station at his shop - from the 60s to the mid-80s, it was a Texaco. We still have some of the signs, etc from it. Whenever I see an old Texaco sign (very rare in Canada), I get a little excited. One day, I'd love to get an old pump for my dad for his basement - but they are big $$ now.

  20. Doesn’t it seem a treat to get back to dinner with friends after a year of isolation? I’ll never again take things like that for granted now. We have trips and visitors planned all July and August, trying to catch up with everyone.
