Rain off the back porch |
We'll freeze! :-)
We can actually feel the humidity easing off a bit, which is nice.
This will likely be a much shorter blog post than usual today, because Glenn had to work all weekend at a Relay Volunteer training event, so we didn't partake in any photo-worthy activities. He had a great time though and heard some touching stories from patients at their Hope Lodge, which recharged his batteries a good bit.
I did a lot of cleaning, but I doubt you'll appreciate shots of our sparkling shower stall.
Glenn did take a nice photo of a church near our house on one of our nightly walks.
And, a nice view of the sunset at the end of our street.
But that's really about it.
We did have another first this weekend, as we stayed out past midnight for the first time since moving here. We met up with Chad and Lisha at a place called Ciro's Speakeasy, which as its name indicates, is set up like a Prohibition-era speakeasy. You even need a password to get in (in this case it was "strawberry gentleman").
I stole this from the web:
In addition to the staff, a surprising number of patrons dressed as flappers and gangsters. I had a drink called a Ramon Gin Fizz, which was supposedly the favorite of corrupt New Orleans Governor Huey Long. Who better to know a good drink than a corrupt politician?
When we finally got our table, around 11 pm (!!), we were literally seated in a hole in the wall - where they had a single booth with a curtain that set you off from the rest of the place. We also had an assortment of weird but delicious food including chocolate chipotle popcorn, stuffed figs, and duckfat fries.
We had a great time with Chad and Lisha. Lisha was finally back from a three week trial in Sarasota, where she won $11 million in damages for her client. Woo-hoo!
So that's all the news from here. Hope you are all doing well and enjoying Fall.
