Updates and a rant

Tonight, we took K~ to L'Albatros Brasserie for a week early birthday dinner.  She was treated like a princess and it was really lovely.  I truly enjoy spending these moments with my step-children and my husband.  I fee lucky and connected.  Reflecting back on when I first met K~ and seeing her now being almost grown up brings tears to my eyes.  I hope as she evolves into a young woman that we are able to stay friends with each other.

And for feck's sake - if I hear one more English person lament on how 'American's' don't know how to make a proper cuppa I am going to lose my mind.  THIS American KNOWS how to make a decent cup of tea thank you very much.  Now run along and eat some boiled meat.

Rant over.

Tomorrow I shall be going to a picnic memorial for Mr. C~ with his family and my family.  I still miss him so very much.  It will be good to think about him in the presence of friends and share memories.  Hopefully we will be blessed with good weather.

Bon soir mes amis
