Oh darling, let's be adventurers

For in twenty years we will be more disappointed by what we didn't do, rather than what we did.

Hello Monday

    

Oh, why is Monday so far from Friday, and Friday so near to Monday?

I suppose Monday has its very own job to stop by and give us that much needed fresh, clean start again.

Here's to getting it right this week.

Happy Friday

Dare to dream

Daring to dream means daring to live.

Embrace the sunlight and make a brand new ending.

Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy

 

they are the charming gardeners

that make our souls blossom.

Enter the Dragon

Happy year of the black water dragon.

May the year bring a seamless transition to the next fire cycle.

May you live in interesting times

I wonder if the Chinese will remember to write "Year of the Dragon" now on their checks instead of "Year of the Rabbit"? 

Oh, how I loathe when that happens.

What demons we face

We have no way of knowing what demons people face, or how they fare against them,

so love them.

A lovely bit of weekend

A weekend of feasty foolery.

firey friday food and fun

A Saturday eve induction into an exclusive local lobster fraternity. 

The inauguration takes place via a tequila shot served from a cooked lobster head, that tastes like college, yet is well worth the trouble when rewarded with a subsequent sea of seafood celebration (crustaceans included).

A Sunday harborside brunch by the boatships with the visitors from afar.

An afternoon strollabout beside a historic, haunty hotel.

tot-sized pitchers of wheat brew al fresco.

are you spoiling yourself rotten?

You could be swingin' on a star

Would you like to swing on a star? 

carry moonbeams home in a jar? 

and be better off than you are?

and all the monkeys aren't in a zoo. 

every day you meet quite a few. 

so you see, it's all up to you. 

you can be better than you are.

you could be swingin' on a star.

Happy National Cheese Lover's Day! How will you pay homage to the fromage?

All hail to the cheese!

The royal decadent, indulgent, can't get enough of the dairy goodness treat.

A day of celebration for those who hanker fer a hunk o' cheese.

Since we can't have the day off, we'll have to find other means to celebrate.

A small handful of suggestions...

A beer and gruyere skillet fondue gathering?

a grown up grilled cheese?

a melty cheese deep dish pizza?

a drippy-good cheeseburger?

an Italian cheese plate?

a wine, chocolate and cheese party?

a cheesy good picnic?

a rustic baguette and a sliver or two? 

I hope it's a happy, good cheese whatever you do.

Enjoy
