The "baby" signed a contract on his new living quarters yesterday. I am keeping my fingers crossed that all things go smoothly for him. He will be moving to a co-op in a nearby town. I am so proud of him. He was the only one who stayed home and saved his money so he could buy something instead of renting.
Some people fear an empty nest. Not Mr. W and I - we welcome it. Well, that's what we say now. We are so confident because "empty nest" is not iminent... Number 1 Son will be moving in as soon as the little guy moves out!!! He, too, is looking for the opportunity to save some money!!
Who says there isn't a revolving door on our house???

The Big Apple(s)
Went to the city last weekend with my SIL. We love to go in, just the two of us, for lunch and a matinee. This trip we were treated with a matinee BEFORE the matinee!
Yes, Virginia, there is a "Naked Cowboy" walking the streets of Manhattan!

Too Pretty
My father loved to take pictures of food. When there was a holiday, he always had his camera in hand - not to capture some amazing family moments - TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE FOOD ON THE TABLE!!! He appreciated good food - not that he was a big eater - he just liked the looks of good food!!
The older I get, the more I appreciate good looking food. I never serve anything out of a pot. Everything is always put on a pretty platter. We always drink wine out of the "good" glasses - who the hell I am saving them for??? We should enjoy these things. Should things get broken, at least we would have had used them! I remember when my mom moved (after 40 years), she carefully wrapped and boxed all her fine crystal and china. She fretted when she unpacked that certain pieces were broken. All I could think was, WE NEVER USED THIS STUFF AND NOW IT'S BROKEN!!
Enough of my ramblings. Below is a picture of a roast I made Saturday evening for dinner:
This is what it looked like just before I took it out of the oven.
This is what was leftover AFTER I filled the beautiful platter !!
For those inquiring minds: This is a boneless pork loin that I stuffed with bacon, spinach and carmelized onions. mmmmm - what a beautiful picture!

Formal Top Banana
Allison is the manager of the Outback Steak House in Key West. Each year, Outback takes their managers away for a weekend. This year it was a cruise.
Below is a picture of Allison on her cruise, during "formal" night. No worries, she had on a bow tie and cuff links!
