Like I said, Nearly!
Joanne and I enjoyed seeing Marjorie recovering well from her surgery.
We then saw the French Comedy Tartuffe:
And the pedestrian mall at Times Square
Later, Joanne showed me some nice pix she had.
The young kids might be interested in this picture of their great great great grandparents, Justina and Vincent.
There was also this nice picture of Aunt Marion with my Grandma and Uncle Joe
Congrats Aunt Marion on being a new great grandmother to Cyndi and Tom's daughter.
Katie?, Cyndi, Chris, Trish and Tom
Here's grandma at 75 in two pictures
This is what England will supposedly look like in the future because of Global Warming:

No matter what, it is always a good idea to bring the gin. Are you thinking tonic? Not me.
My Way Ultimate Martini
1. Get martini glass that holds 5 shots easily. Put in freezer at coldest setting.
2. Ingredients:
Plymount Gin, the essential martini gin in freezer or refrig
Noilly Prat vermouth, the essential vermouth never refrigerate
Olives of your choice I like big green ones lightly brined with pits inside
Ice from a mineral water you like. I like Evian, lowest freezer setting
Note: Big chunks not ice cubes
3. Tools proper cocktail strainer and cocktail shaker (large size), hammer, old white towel
4. The methodology:
NOTE: Only make one martini at a time this is important
a) put ice in towel and crack with hammer
b) put ice in chilled cocktail shaker
c) put in one cap (cap from vermouth bottle) full of vermouth in shaker
NOTE: forget Winston Churchill on the vermouth issue
d) shake, drain off all vermouth from shaker and throw it away
e) pour in 3 to 4 shots of chilled Plymouth Gin
NOTE: take a little swig of the gin right from the bottle too important
f) shake hard, really really hard . . . get those ice chips into suspension
g) pour into one chilled martini glass
h) always use an odd number of olives this is important
NOTE: if you put olive(s) in martini, rinse first with vermouth
NOTE: I like mine on the side, on a toothpick laid across top of glass
NOTE: lemon tends to overpower gin/vermouth, so I dont do it
f) you must consume the martini within 15 mins
NOTE: never touch the bowl of the martini glass when drinking
NOTE: if you want to chat or snog or whatever, not during consumption
g) only two per customer : ( sorry. But two is way too much already.)
Hi Pete and Mary,
Here are the submissions for best email I told you about.
We had a great time at Jenn and Greg's wedding!!! They make such a cute couple
and looked absolutely thrilled about marrying each other - lots of smiles and
giggles. The venue was so pretty and the DJ played great songs!
Have a good weekend, Ann
