~ I got up early to catch up on Picture of the Day
before we lost electricity.
As many of you know we are in the midst of getting
pummeled with the “worst storm of our lives” –
that’s what “they” are saying……

Calm before the storm – 6 a.m. this morning.
If you look out in the distance the flag is straight out.

The gym was open so I took advantage before going off
to work. The gym might be closed for a couple days.

after work I took this picture of Nordstrom’s…..
All the shopping malls were a Ghost Town –
Of course I had to go into work —
didn’t you know Wine Sales People are
essential personnel………

The pending storm picture at 4:30pm….
It was annoying to go into work for 2 hours –
I should have just called to see if they wanted
me to come in. It takes me 2 hours (round trip )
to get to/from work & costs $20 (tolls, gas).
It doesn’t pay to go in for 2 hours!

BUT — good thing I went to work
bc I needed to get some wine for a neighbor!!!!

|
I made some cheesy garlic bread with prosciutto (before)

I also made a roasted eggplant parmesan.
I usually grill the eggplant but the weather
wasn’t cooperating so I roasted the eggplant.
It was really good.

|
|
|
I cracked open a “kick-ass” Napa red blend….
It is SOOOOO delicious – I wish you were here
for me to share it with you!!!!!
