Well, this is the life!
I am home alone with my stereo - a wee bit of Angus, some Zep and Pete... my glass is not empty - yet.
George and the girls are out on the lake in our boat.
Bob is out on the same lake in a different boat.
All is calm on the home front... well, until a great song kicks in!
I believe this is a well-deserved glass of wine, if I do say so myself.
The oven is beginning to emanate a rich aroma from the prime rib roast, the Yorkshire pudding pans are ready to go (Gypsy) and all that's left to do are the potatoes for mashing and the red wine gravy.
This has to be the life...
Thanks again to all for your kindness and support over the last week.
I love you all!
I love you too Sweet One.
ReplyDeleteSmells good!

Hi Dale,
ReplyDeleteSo glad that things are better for you now!
There's nothing better than hearing a great song!
And we LOVE you Dale!! Thanks for the visit in my chat today (well technically yesterday lol) Your dinner sounds delish! It is too bad it is too late for me to make something to eat. A Roast would be heaven!
ReplyDeleteHere for you any time. Sorry to get so silly in the chat..nothing but fun and was trying to make a few people who were down giggle a bit, you included!
XX-Mol
well its the day after the morrow..er yesterday..er today....hope you killed the fatted calf and feasted whole heartedly...many a chinking of glasses...and that nice contented bloated feeling at the end when you just want to collapse in to oblivion...*bliss*....
ReplyDeleteYou absolutely deserve the glass of wine! Hell, you deserve a whole bottle (now, now...)
ReplyDeleteI can relate about how it feels being on your own and doing your thing. It's the best feeling in the world isn't it? And much needed at these crazy times.
Had fun chatting with you last night.
xoxoxo

Dale,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you found the cure for what ailed you all week. Glad you managed to sneak in some quality down time.
We love you, sweetheart.

very well deserved!!
ReplyDeleteLuv-

Thanks PTfan, you're a sweetie, too!
ReplyDeleteGypsy - yes the COD charges were out of this world - had to raid Angus' pockets.
It - the yorky I mean - rose to the occasion just fine!
That full, bloated feeling is still with me. Yech. I won't have to eat for a week now!
Lace - I see you have discovered our warped & mad world! We are the female version of Delbut/Neil.
Chick - yes there were some very good songs in the shuffle - one of my favourites "The Razors Edge" was among them. It's got a bit of a spooky edge to it - not typical AC/DC. And of course, every song on Pete's album is great.
Molly - thanks for the chat! I had tons of fun & I love it when it gets silly! It made up for not being able to watch ITA.
Marietta - no no, only 4 glasses over the evening. Oh, wait that's about one full bottle anyway! Hee Hee.
Anne-Marie - it was definitely quality me time & very theraputic.
I'm off to make lunches, prepare Bobby's lessons for today, get Jenny's school planner filled in, wake kids up, get Beth prepared for her Math exam - aka waking up a teenager, make breakfast & get everyone out the door before 8:00 a.m.
...oh & get me ready for work, too!
...and feed the cat - he's meowing, rubbing around my legs & just plain sucking up to me.
:)
Dale
Cheryl Ann - what a surprise! You snuck in here while I was writing up the above novel. Thanks for visiting.

next time ill send yourkies via carrier pigeon and hope they dont eat them on the way!...dale we are in danger of getting sued off neil he has already spoke to lawyers about alicia for copy right infringments...
ReplyDeletebut i bet you got a thrill when you reached in to angus's pockets...was he wearing his shorts at the time?..thats why he wants to spank you!...
ReplyDeleteWell aren't you something? Mrs. Smarty pants of world of literature!
ReplyDeleteDale you inspire me, you really do. I am facing some trials now myself and your spirit makes me know I can do this! It truly is amazing how our real lives can be so f*cked up at times yet we hang in there and trudge on. I honestly believe that it is places like this and other various boards that allow us to do so and keep at least a bit of our sanity. Glad to hear things are looking up!
ReplyDeleteGypsy, he was not too thrilled when I pulled out a handful of 100's to pay the fed ex guy...
ReplyDeleteHee Hee - I bloody well wish!
Meg - we all need inspiration these days. I'm glad to be of service :) I hope all turns out well for you - I know how trying times can get one down. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteDale, in your troubles you found time to say the most wonderful thing on my blog! You brought a tear to MY eye! Thank you so very much. You made my day! So I now I send your kindness back around to you!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a glass for me!!
I am steering clear of Angus' pockets!!
Long Live Rock!
Lionel
omg dale ive done it again..26-06-06..totally unawheres...spooky..
ReplyDeleteHi Dale,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the positive words on my blog. Flight to Europe is late on Friday July 7th, so about 10 days to go and my to-do list in still huge....
Two more days of teachers' dirty looks and then, to quote Roger, I'm freeeee!
Cheers,
AM
I'm with Marietta - looks like you deserve a bottle to yourself.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your trying times, but happy to hear things are looking better for you.
You are a strong. compassionate and wise soul Dale.
Take care and be well,
Sue D.

I'm lovin your world girls. So which one's Delbut and which one's Neil??
~Lace~ <~Inquiring mind that wants to know!
Lace - we're interchangeable... I have a knack for multiple personalities, or so it seems. Just ask Angus...
ReplyDeleteSue - thanks & I sometimes wonder where or when it'll all end, but I have a feeling I'd rather just live it all, the good & the bad!
ReplyDelete:)
just to say your forgiven for theiving the pet blog to dedicate it to your mum and dads wedding anniversary.
ReplyDeleteDale, my love, have left a comment on your last post, but let me join the others to say this glass of vino collapso is well deserved, and I hope you have one on me too. Just finished reading the Da Vinci Code, and the pic reminds me of chalices, grails and such...not that a glass of wine is the same thing, of course, but, well... it ties in somewhat with your own quest ...in my mind anyway...shut up Val, Dale knows what you mean
ReplyDeleteLove you too, dear one..xxx
