Sunday Morning 6/11/06, Good morning all, it has been a fun week here in the Burgh the weather has been FABULOUS, mid 70's during the day low 50's at night , leave the window open sleeping weather, , I am not having my usual Kona this morning I am having a Hawaiian coffee from Kauai , a nice change , a little more acidic but the viscosity is a bit "thicker" it is a light roast coffee much like Kona , I am enjoying it a lot.
My mother in law is adjusting to the nursing home very well, she hasn't called us to "get her out of this place " since the first day she was there , it has been 3 weeks now & there is PEACE in the house now, no more 2 a.m. calls to come empty her trash or 9 calls a day asking where her car keys are , it is great for me But barb misses talking to her very evening , we are going to take the Grandsons up to visit her this week, they still have there Fathers Grandmother living as well as there Mothers Grandmother , I do remember 2 of my great grandmothers , had to speak German to one & Italian to the other one , neither could speak very much English , but both did learn it a little , with all the kids they had translators coming out of the wood work, my Grandfather on my mothers side ( the Italian side ) was 1 of 13 , ( good Catholic family ) but on my Dads side the family was a bit more consecrative German Lutherans only 5 on the Grandparents generation , My Mother in law was the Baby of 12 so there are lots of Aunts, Uncles ,Cousins at the Family reunions ( good thing this isn't W.Va , you don't go there looking for a date ! hahaha ) although I do have a few cousins ........... but that is for an other board hahahahahaa any way it has been a good week for me , & not so good week for Barb . Alzheimer's has taken her mother away from her , funny how the mind works she didn't know who my daughter was but knows who her kids are , cant remember my name but knows my phone number to call when she wanted her trash taken out .GO Figure !
I have had a great week with the cigars , smoking like a house on fire , this past week I was averaging 7 or 8 a day, & even by my standards thats just a bit to much , dammm the cash I spent on cigars this past week , about 5 bucks a stick lets see thats about 35 to 40 bucks a day , but some of the sticks were Gray- cliffs & a few Diamond Crowns & 2 Double R's from Davidoff & a sprinkeling of Cubans , tossed in the mix ,that would shoot the average cost of the cigars over 50 bucks a day, Dammmm I better get a job if I am going to keep smoking like this , the stock pile will be gone in a few weeks if I dont refill it soon !
I hear the Boss is getting up & I should get off the computer to make Breakfast for the both of us , I am almost out of coffee & need to make a second pot , the paper was late getting here this morning so I havent had a chance to look at the Sunday funnies yet , dammmmmm I have a lot to do all ready today & it is not yet 9 a.m. !!!
I have some chicken breast defrosting in the fridge , I have no idea what I am going to make with them , but i have all day to think about it , maybe just grill it, to warm to make chicken stew or a pot pie, , I will ak the boss what she wants, I know her answer will be POT ROAST hahahahaha , it is her favorite meal, if she were going to the gas chamber that would be what she would want ! ( BUT I CAN ONLY DREAM ABOUT THAT hahahahaha )
Time to start the bacon & eggs , so you all enjoy the reast of the Weekend & have a Sunday morning smoke , I have a Connecticut wrapped Condega Torp , waithing for me as soon as breakfast is done, I di have a short walk this morning & a Short Story instead of the Don Carlos III , since I didnt have the Sunday paper to read on the back deck I didnt want a to big cigar ! , I do have a Grand master for after lunch ! Yummmmmy ! Enjoy, Vince
