A Nice Holiday Weekend

Good People--Norm and Phyllis, Ellis and Bert, Dave and Loraine Tobin, their friends and some of our neighbors.
Good Food--dinner and some 14 Hands wine (a measurement for horses) at The Wine Bistro in Southlands. Try this wine, either cab or merlot, you can't buy it in liquor stores, only restaurants serve it. Dinner at Ellis/Bert's, Ellis's own spaghetti recipe and chianti of course--I won the new rummy card game (beginners luck). Then a pot luck at Dave/Loraine's new home. Pot lucks are one of my favorites--a table full of people's specialties to choose from--Jan's Montana beans are the best--I really liked their Heineken Light, too.
Good Exercise--walked to the last two parties--almost 4 miles total. Cycled to the rec center for kickboxing this morning.
Great Retirement--Even though this weekend was Labor Day, us retirees can enjoy it too. Especially when some of the partyers have to work tomorrow.

I think Heineken Light tastes more like genuine Heineken in Europe, good stuff!
