Hi Two Tablers! We have enough for two tables on Wednesday evening even though Olga Polga cannot join us. With all people who replied we will have enough so that the dummy will move. Lady Darjeeling and I will host so see everyone anytime after 6:30 pm. Have included a couple of snaps of the high-end bridge prizes that will be up for grabs for your viewing pleasure! Lady Darjeeling took me to my doctor yesterday to have my staples removed and I'm pleased to report that the incision has healed nicely. Saw my surgeon the previous Thursday and he was very pleased with how the incision had healed and he didn't even put a dressing on the wound. Enjoyed my first shower without a plastic bag taped to my shoulder yesterday, before attending a Lens on Lent film series to see The Zoo Keeper's Wife. What's a film! Thanks and Cheers, Patrick! See you tomorrow.  Dianne

You are saying "next week". So not tomorrow. Am I correct. Dame Judith Hi Dame Judith! Sorry about confusion but that was the subject line when I first sent out message. I forgot to change it in my excitement over having two tables! See you this evening. Cheers, Patrizzio! Good news about shoulder!! See you tonight Judy Blue



Hola Patrizzio y Corinne, Thanks for your note Patrizzio. We are on the road near Abbotsford. I want to add an extra special thank you to you both. We had a lovely visit. Thank you for all the fun, delicious meals and drinks!! We managed to get to C. C. Jentsch yesterday for a tasting. We then returned to...
Hola encora, Sorry my note took off before I finished it. We returned to Gehringer Bros. to get a few more bottles for gifts after spending the morning pruning at Budino Brothers. We ended the day with a walk out to Haynes Point. We made a portobello mushroom burger recipe we think you would like. When we get home we will send it to you.

We really enjoyed our visit with Chloe and seeing her attractive new home. She is a lovely young woman and we wish her all the best. We are glad to hear your incision has healed well Pat. You have taken good care of it. Did it hurt to get the stitches out? We would like to put your names on our calendar so let us know when you can visit. We look forward to hosting you. Take good care and enjoy yourselves. A bientot! Love George and Jane xo 

 
Hello Salish Sea People! Trust you're both well and and made back to Vancouver without any hitches. Did you meet up with Big Al? Pleased you made it to C. C. Jentsch as well as going back to Gehringer Brothers. How do the Budino Brothers feel about the competition? Thank you for the kind words about Chloƫ. In fact we haven't seen her since we visited. Have to have her over to cut both Etta's and Duke's needle claws and catch up on Fargo. This evening's Lens on Lent film series, The Zoo Keeper's Wife, was riveting. What a film! Do you know it?
 

Thank you both for the wonderful stay. It goes without saying that you are always welcome, in spite of your extraordinary propensity to freeload! Fondestos from Lady Darjeeling to you both and Cheers, Patrizzio, The One-Armed Bandito of Budino Canyon!

Hello Patrick and Corinne, Sorry for the late reply. I guess you have had the shoulder operation by now Patrick. I hope it went well. Mandy is going to Scotland at the end of April, Kefalonia in June and Brazil in December for a wedding. I am going to London for a couple of days in May, Sorrento in June and possibly New Orleans in September. We both go to Devon every two, three or four weekends, depending on what else is on. At the moment we will be at home in October and we would love to welcome you if you decide to visit. Best wishes. Chris Durston

Hi Chris and Mandy! Lovely to hear from you thank you so much for the warm invitation. Trust you're both well but know from your message that you are traveling, traveling, traveling. Pleased to hear that this is the case. We will certainly be in touch as soon as we have a better idea of our schedules.

At the moment Corinne is dealing with surgery that her mother is to undergo in mid-May. She had a re-occurrence of bowel cancer which was originally diagnosed over 20 years ago, or more. Fortunately, this time it was caught early and has not spread to any surrounding organs so medical opinion is that the tumour can be successfully removed. At 94, Clara is, otherwise, in remarkable health. Corinne is in discussion with her siblings trying work out when it might be best for her to travel to Falcon Lake to share care during Clara's post-operative recovery. Quite a juggling job as she has many weddings during this time. Not sure if you knew that she is now a wedding officiant. Many of her weddings over the last two years have been at local wineries.

Must away as I plan to ride my stationary bike. I'm up to an hour so I'm quite pleased with my progress in this regard. Stay well. All the best to you both from Nurse Ratched and Cheers from Front Gate Geo, [Lost in automatic dictation! I'm using this feature on my Mac and becoming quite adept.
