I haven't enjoyed myself like that in a long time. Got invited down to Shewolf1's place for the afternoon yesterday. I needed to get out of town anyway. 3000 Jehovah's Witnesses having a convention is more than a bit much for this otter. Traffic was fairly steady for most of the way, but that wasn't surprising. It is the summer holidays after all. Got to her place about 1300. Go out to the deck and have a couple of glasses of her homemade ice wine.Got to meet her husband, the dogs and the ferret. (The ferret was a big hit with me. Go figure.) Another fur also came to visit, bringing her BF. They came up to check out a site for an upcoming camp-out. We piled into my car and headed up a logging road to the campsite. Afterwards, we drove back down to Okanagan Lake and went for a brief swim. The lake (to me anyways) was quite cold. We didn't stay in for very long. Came back to the house and had "Indian Tacos" for supper. (1st Nations Tacos for you politically correct types out there.) and potato salad (home made.) Simply put, it's a hunk of bannock about the size of a pie plate. On it goes Stag (or whatever brand of chili you prefer.) Chili and cheddar cheese. Heat in the microwave until hot and the cheese has melted. Add onions, lettuce and what ever else you put in your tacos and serve. Damn fine good stuff. Sat around the fire her husband had going for a little bit. The other visitor and her friend left just after 2000 (I think) because they wanted to catch a movie before heading home. I stayed until 2100 before I called it an evening and headed home. The only thing I forgot to do was hug her goodbye, but I did leave with a bottle of wine. All in all, a good time was had by all. I can hardly wait for the next get-together. That's all for now. L8R. Current Location: At Home Current Mood: relaxed Current Music: Komo 11 News At 4
