tryp'ing on christmas!

Woohoo!

My two favorite Michiganders had flown south, along with the flocks of geese, and were wintering briefly in town before hopping down to Florida.

How very nice to have a second visit so soon in this holiday season!

They had a posh place downtown that even had a front parlor in it, so that called for a gathering!

No restaurants open, but the plethora of noshes from Aldi's and Parker's worked out just fine to stave off hunger.

(smile!)

As for beverages, Andy and Sheryl came prepared!

As I recall, the 'Moscow Mule kit' was a gift to her from someone, but I may not have the details of the story quite right.

It's been quite a while since I had alcohol and, although I only had one, it was plenty strong!

Amy had abstained, so I was the lucky recipient of one of the copper mugs full of vodka and mint and ginger beer - such a tasty cocktail!

How nice to see them again!

The last time had been at their wedding.
Very nice to be reminded of Turtles and Odd Lot and JinHi and talk of Andy's music store and new movies and tv shows and life!

(smile!)

Before I leave this post and shuffle off to Buffalo... um, bed... kindly take another look at Amy's shirt.

Can you believe she took the shirt off her back, literally, and gave it to me?

Apparently, she's doing in Saint Augustine what I did in Italy in 2012: wearing shirts one last time while on holiday, then ditching them to make room for new threads.

Very nice!!!

I was in Italy for ten days and I returned with these seven new shirts and no need for extra luggage - that was a definite bonus... and a nice update of my wardrobe, too.

Okay, bed time is early tonight!

Sweet dreams to all!
