Afternoon all. it's a beautiful day here with an excellent forecast for the weekend which is unheard of because it is a Bank Holiday weekend and that usually means rain! Did someone say Global Warming?
Clotted cream is much nicer than double cream. Not sure what they do at GF tea as I haven't done it yet. You usually get your cream in a litle pot, rather like in the picture Jennifer shared. The crust helps keep the cream fresh and yummy.
This weekend is our Village Fair. They will be having duck races on the river, snail races and tug of war amongst other entertainments. The church will be open too and we have a little display of the work that is being done to restore it and we are putting together a CD of slightly different religious music to play.
I think they may be offering the VIP viewing to all the Teppenyaki diners they are moving but it is still a jolly nice thing to get.
Slight, but not very satisfactory update on the Disney position: "We appreciate your message. Based on the nature of your comments, I
have forwarded your message to our Member Satisfaction team for further
review. You may expect to be contacted again with regard to your
message within 5 business days." That was about the time I posted about this but I don't think I will be waiting 5 days as time is getting short for a solution.

HOW TERRIBLE!!!...you almost missed a day of Intercot!
I think we're ready to move the bus to another locale. Is everybody ready to start packing?

Have I mentioned that today is my 31st anniversary? Coincidentally, it's DW's 31st anniversary as well.

More business is done on the golf course than in the office. So that's what makes it work.

Congraulations Cousin...... And thanks for rubbing it in, again !

How about the JQ Cleaning crew come and help you wreck, er, I mean, clean up your house? Hope you have a great time! Eat the Tuscan Chicken at Rainforest Cafe for me! YUM!
Happy birthday to your DH! I'll check out your Tuscan Chicken at RFC.
And please send the wrecking crew... if you wreck a wreck, it may actually improve it.

Of course you can have pixie dust! and you know Figaro may be the right pick!

Nope... I just buy the jams, I don't make 'em... anyone ever heard of Stonewall Kitchen? They're based out of York, Maine, and their jams are to die for.

I missed this originally! Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Drummerboy! May you have many more wonderful years together!
I'm reading "Sideways" right now. Anyone else read it? I believe it was written after the movie (which I never saw -- but will now!). It is such a great read! I am also pre-ordering the Passporter for travelling with Disabilities. When my dad called the other day (they are in England currently), he expressed an interest in renting a house next summer and doing the world with us. Mom couldn't handle our pace for sure -- but I would love to have as much info as possible before we went. I need more books!!!

I'll pass your wishes along to my Dh! And if you go with the Tuscan Chicken I KNOW you'll love it! My mouth is still watering just thinking about it!
Ok everyone! You heard her - we have an open invite to come and 'work' on her house!!!

How many more books do you need? What kind are you looking for? That would be so much fun for you guys to rent a house and explore the world like that! I hope it happens for you!
