Back to hobbies ... and Life

Finally got a decent photo of our black pug. He's a beut! He has to think about things alot before dealing with them. He has to sniff and sniff and sniff on a spot and think about what it all means. While the boston terrier would just take a quick sniff and head out looking for things to eat or things to chase. The collar he wears has lots of spikes on it ... just to keep Sheba from chewing on it or using it to pull him around.

St Patty's Day Party

The Art Association was holding it's 1st Annual St Patrick's Day party.
Daniel finally departed today with a load of peanuts ... heading to Chicago ... then it's back to Florida with a frozen food load. First load we've had in 7-1/2 months. At least Daniel has work now. I'm still waiting on the call-back.

The food ... which I don't have a foto of ... was really wonderful. Authentic Irish fare. In fact we had an Irish fellow from North Ireland who hadn't been home in two years ... he sat there eating and sighing ... saying something about comfort food. The only thing I didn't care for was the "Bangers in Rum Sauce" ... pieces of sausage soaked in Rum. Boiled cabbage, boiled potatoes, beef brisket, lamb stew, soda bread, irish potato salad, "pasties" (meat & potatoes in small pastry half-shells), green punch (the dark green bowl was the "special" punch with the kick to it ... light green for kids and us), and green colored desserts (angel food cake, key lime pie, green jello).
