Adventure, Cuisinier, Concoctions: Continued Rick & Lynn Visit/Phil & Toni 9/29

Amazing Phil & Toni were here almost before we were up and going.. Think they get up at 5am! And on the road by 7am from Petaluma!! They’re shinning faces were here about 9am.. just in time for breakfast! Toni had done some shopping at Costco for us, things needed for our breakfast and dinner later that day..
If you can believe it? It is raining today.. rain rain go away.. we never get rain this time of the year, and it rained last weekend too! uumm?? maybe we will get some water in the lake this year.. lake is low..
We had our breakfast, took time to visit with everyone.. It was nearly noon by the time us girls were going over the Clearlake for a few things I needed to pick up..
When we returned the guys decided to take the boat out for a test drive on the lake.. Lynn went with them. Toni & I wanted to stay here and get the dinner going. We were having ribs/rosemary potatoes/bacon wrapped asparagus and a “pumkin better than sex cake” for dessert.
The “boat people” got back early..? Seems the boat is running really rough!! Couldn’t open it up.. ran fine in the driveway, but once opened up? it stalled and died,well needs some more work.. will worry about that later..I am about to put brother Rick on restriction!! Every single time he is out on the lake in our boat, he HITS rocks, sand bars, something!! uummm?? Will let it slide this time, considering he had gone through so much to get this boat fixed for us! Bless his heart! I have the best brother in the whole world! He is always taking care of us.. He does so many nice things for us.. Love you so much!!
Jim & Shirley were also going to our guests for dinner tonight as well. Jim was be silly putting the napkin on his head.. LOL What a wonderful evening!
Next day (Monday) Phil and Toni had made arrangemenet to look at some properties. Phil & Toni are planning on retiring here..
After looking at couple of properties we drove over to Jim & Shirley’s to see their shop and loft area. Phil & Toni were interested in looking at it.. And it was the perfect excuse to see Jim & Shirley again too!! They loved having us! Wonderful host and hostess! <<Love these guys!!!After a short time we were all heading into Middletown for Pizza early dinner..
Charles joined us for a brief moment to say Hi.. and then he was off.. Phil & Toni decided to head home and be on their way.. Now Jim & Shirley say’s heck lets go by and say Hi to Rudy & Faith.. an impromptu drop in!! .. So all six of drove over to their place (only a short drive) and we surprise Faith for sure! She is such a treasure! She welcomed us with open arms, as did Rudy when he came in from the vineyard with his son, who is from Montana visiting..
Rudy had a replacement pace maker last week and had an appointment that day to have it checked, but since were all there, Faith called and asked if it could be rescheduled!!
And she did!! And then the wine began to pour and pour! And bless her heart she even had made some enchilada’s that morning and served a lovely late evening dinner to all of us! We had such a wonderful visit with everyone! Faith & Rudy were wonderful impromptu hosts.. Thank you both for your wonderful hospitality!!
