MLD, your dinner description is making me hungry. I've got my ice cream right here. As for his drinking, being with someone who is an active problem drinker while you are maintaining sobriety is tough. Brynn, Bernie and I can all attest to that. I'm glad your dinner went well.
I did find out that our British contingent is arriving today - cousin and her three children - so I'm looking forward to seeing them. They will be here a month.
Ok, time to get ready for bed. See you all in the morning.
