We are home after a couple of days in the big city of Surprise, Arizona, a western suburb of Phoenix. We attended a friend's retirement party, then celebrated SWMBO's (number deleted) birthday with a wonderful dinner at the Vogue Bistro. It's a French restaurant with a celebrated female chef, Aurore . . from a variety of restaurants including the Four Seasons in Chicago. A couple of marvelous and huge martinis preceded foie gras, Oysters Rockefeller, filets mignon, a nice bottle of red wine, and a complimentary creme brule for the birthday girl. (She shared.) An unforgettably good meal.
The next night's dinner, at an Italian restaurant, was forgettable. 'Nuff said.
We got home at noon today. SWMBO is taking a much needed nap and I'm about to follow. I may soon look like Muggles did the other day.
As SWMBO would say, "that is a very domesticated cat!"
