What's up?

Yesterday instead of going to the Green Dragon as it was pouring down raining the entire day, Deb took me to a place I have never been to before. It is a really cool, inexpensive store called, "The Christmas Tree." There, I found these little items for autumn ...

The above ceramic sunflower dishes will be used at the next sabbat of Mabon this year for offerings.

On Thursday night, we ate at P.J. Whelihan's for Deb's birthday ...

My friends Deb and her hubby Dave.

Deb's daughter, Rayann (J.J.'s mommy who works at P.J. Whelihan's as both a server and a part-time bartender). She is such a delightful young lady! 

My delicious grilled chicken salad and a hard red apple cider.

Deb's side order of Funnel Cake fries and caramel dip was also served with a surprise vanilla ice cream and birthday candle her daughter brought her ...

Afterward, Dave took us to a place called The Reinhold's Inn for a nightcap.  I ordered a large Italian sandwich to-go. They have the cutest little dumbwaiter that brings the food from the kitchen directly out to the bartender to serve it up to their customers ...

This is what they called a "half" an Italian sandwich! 

And finally, just a real quick message from Sir Leo ... he says "It's good to be the KING!"

... and of course, Merlin concurs!
