Forecasting Fun

Just got back from my favorite pub in town. As we were leaving to do a little business, we ran into two very interesting people who are artists, coming in for a beer. Trish and Chris, we met these people for the first time in early November when we had our church name day feast banquet. The conversation and evening went well. The food is the best around, and the atmosphere is second to none. The small 10 oz. beer has been discontinued, but I don't mind having a little more.

Our dinner plans included the last minute arrangements for Saturday's Christmas Party. The room has been decorated beautifully and tastefully with blends complimenting the salmon-colored walls with oil paintings. The wooden chairs and tables with small lamps and shades, adds to the mix with huge snowflakes dangling from the ceiling. The river run room is largely windows, having a view of the river which extends the length of its seating capacity. A huge piano on one side, and a staircase on the other. The entrance doors, magnificent wrought iron swinging gates. Huge planters surround the room with a natural greenery. The wooden floors finish the area with all the comfort associated with home. The buffet style meal will be set-up to allow movement in front of two beautiful French doors. It is hard to capture it all, except to say it is breath taking and beautiful.

The only thing we need is for the weather to cooperate. Today it was around 50 degrees. I'm not kidding. So odd to see it rain as we had snow a few days earlier. In New England, you take what you get. The forecast is for good weather, and a lot of fun. We'll drink to that.
