Returning to the “scene of the crime” as we used to say. This was the hangout for The Three Musketeers (Barbara, Nellie and Betty). We would order lunch, but it was always about the Mai Tais and the gab fest. It’s only Two Musketeers now, and she is far enough away that we don’t see each other that often. But we’re still besties. I’ll be writing more about us in January when we are getting together.

In the meantime, it’s Mai Tais and Prosecco with my dear friend Julie to celebrate the holiday season in style. No matter the time, we always have tons to tell each other. And how better than with an adult beverage.

We did remember to have lunch. Two of Billy’s favorites – Crunchy fried Fish and Chips for me and Coconut Shrimp for Julie. It is important to note that we did NOT order dessert. I don’t know what came over us to act so responsibly.

The Other Thing – Into this new year, I am again reminded how lucky I am to have such true and loyal friends. I am ready for you 2026!!
