FLOWN BY

Yes, 31 days in January 2010 are gone. Flown by so quick, you think nothing really happened, but it is not so, as you will see in this short recollection of mine. As you know we've been moving up in this world and bought us a Wii for Christmas and since we had only 1 day with sunshine this month and every day freezing weather we have enjoyed  this game on a daily basis. We are officially experts on the carnival mini golf and some games in the Wii sport resort. We definitively need much more practice with the Tiger Wood PGA Tour 10 Golf game.

January 10th we woke up to 3 inches of snow and Brian was busy with plowing and salting his clients streets and parking lots and a couple days later he ask me to help him clean his heavy machinery including snowplows, salt trucks, small 4weehlers with snowplows, Bobcats and backhoe.

 

  

  

  

 

 
It took us a good 7 hours and it showed me some things,   #1: I am totally out of shape   #2: I am not used to working for 8 hour straight anymore.    I was tired and sore on my entire body when I got home, but I enjoyed myself and was very satisfied with my accomplishment.

Wednesday January 20, Donna's Birthday, I was planing a nice gourmet Dinner just for the two of us here at home. I went shopping the the day before for all the ingredients and got my mise en place together. On Wednesday Donna had to work and we decided on going out for lunch together to a restaurant of her choice during her lunch break.  We ended up in the Macaroni Grill and it was delicious. Of course, after this super Italian lunch we decided to reschedule her birthday dinner for the next day.

Thursday night I fixed sashimi appetizer, Alaskan king crab legs, fillet mignon, Pomme souffler,
fresh grilled asparagus with hollandaise sauce, and hot berry with vanilla ice cream. Also, for a cocktail we had a Bacardi and coke, consumed some Pinot Grigio with the appetizer, enjoyed a California Merlot with the main course, ending up with a couple of Grand Marniers for dessert.
Overall a very enjoyable and festive birthday dinner.

Saturday night Daniel and Gina took us out for some Sushi for Donna's birthday,  following  with a  show at the Funny Bone and drinking and dancing at a Jazzbar, where we were joined by Karla and Eric.

Another superior night, but we physically payed for it.  It took us all Sunday to recuperate. I am thankful Donna's Birthday Month is finally over.

 The only sad thing is that Gina and Daniel`s Dog Jack seems to be quite sick.  It is very mysterious and nobody seems to know what it is. I hope he recuperates very soon.

Last Friday was grandparents day at Luke`s school. Donna and I  surprised him and showed up. He was very happy and Grandma enjoyed herself too.

Also, for the last two weeks the Australian Open was on TV, and I had to spend a lot of hours in front of the television. Believe me, it was all worth it.  Mr Roger Federer was giving all the other boys some Tennis lessons!!!

As before stated, no wonder this month flew by that fast.
