I have just made reservations...Hannah and I will be with Chrissi and her family in September for a week long visit. So, if needed, I'll bring the bug repellent! We are excited about our trip.

I have been looking at this for a couple of minutes and thought some of you might find it interesting as well.  It's how a sewing machine basically works:

It could have been such a nice evening .....

Well, actually it was, but somewhat tainted. Kids out of the hopuse, wonderful warm summer weather, hubby and I wanted to eat out at a nice restaurant where you can sit outside and where we haven't been previously. We wanted to try something new.
The restaurant we had in mind was completely crowed, not a single free table, three more were closed (it's Monday, the day many restaurants have their day off), one didn't look nice at all, and neither did the guests. We drove around for over an hour, finally ending up at a place where we've been before.

Oh well. We've never been there at a summer evening before - and never will again, lol. It's a former mill with a creek running by it. There were crowds of wasps and mosquitos  . The wasps didn't bother us much, but those damned mosquitos drove me crazy!

And the worst thing about it is that my hubby didn't get one single mosquito bite, whereas I counted eleven bites! He always says he has his personal mosquito trap (=me) sitting next to him. And it's true


At least the meal was excellent. I had lamb with chanterelles, tomatoes, croquettes and a piece of feta cheese. Mmmmhhh...

Lesson of the day: Chrissi loves lamb and hates mosquitos

Chrissi! The only reason those mean ol' mosquitoes attack you like that is because you're so sweet!

Morning all,

67 degrees this morning and sunny. The students and Hannah are off to ride on the Portland fireboat this morning...

Thank y'all for your sympathetic words

Poor Chrissi!  Sounds like the mosquitoes dined as well as you did. 

They sure did

I hope your next outing includes restaurants that are open for business, plus a bottle of bug repellent. 

Next eating out is planned for today evening (kids still at their grandma's). 
Better check my medicine cabinet for bug repellent
