Enjoying my spring evenings


I can’t believe that Spring has come to stay.  I know that is going to change in a day or so here, but even that will seem like Spring!  I’ve been enjoying my Spring evenings.  It’s nice enough to be outside and do a few things.  I’m trying to hold back on any gardening just yet.

Last week, we were able to sit outside and eat on our family dinner night.  Normally, Rich is all against eating al fresco.  I don’t think it’s just the bugs.  I think it’s the wind and so much going on around you.  We were lucky though, and he agreed to sit out at Snuggery, which sits right on the river.  It was windy with a few bugs, but very nice.

And the wonderful weather continued this week.  I talked the guys into my favorite Mexican place, which allows you to sit along the river.  Actually, El Puerto is on one of the chain of lakes.  I love their Pink margarita.  It sounds girly, but it is really good.  Rich ordered a pitcher.  I should have known I was in trouble then.

Rich has a motto:  No alcohol left behind.  This means you can’t leave the table until all alcoholic beverages are consumed.  I was doing a good job of helping before the food arrived.  I was only feeling the tequila a little bit.  After dinner, we continued to work on the pitcher and I really began to feel it. 

Luckily, Rick was along and could drive us home.  What will I do when he is gone? 

We made it home.  Rich was on his computer and I got caught up on some of my recorded TV.  Pretty soon, bed sounded like a good thing.  Even Sascha thought it was a good idea and scooted off before I could get up.

I awoke only one in the night and thought I should never drink that much tequila again.  I went back to sleep and had pleasant dreams.  Next time, Rich can finish that pitcher all by himself.  Or take help with him.

  1. Pink Margarita, huh? I bet it is pretty tasty. There are lots of places to get good margaritas around here but I don’t usually order them. However whenever I have visitors and we head down to the riverwalk that is a whole new story. There is a place that serves a 60oz margarita… yes 60 OUNCES!!! I think my favorite part of drinking it is that everyone has a straw and shares it.
