A premature yet eminently satisfying birthday party for Dougie last night. He was grill master in charge of a boneless leg o' lamb. Cooked hot and basted with a hoisin sauce of some sort. Crusty on the outside - moist and pink on the inside. Yum. Yum. Alison made a mushroom risotto that was very yummy too.
And good company as well! Eric, John and Shelly, Candy and Dick and yours truly. Don't hardly get no better than that....
The weather has moderated. This afternoon it was in the low 30's and the wind has stopped blowing. John and Shelly said earlier this week it blew in Douglas as hard as they have ever seen it blow. And Shelly is a life-long Douglas girl... YIKES! Broken windows everywhere. They said their house was seriously vibrating... Floats in the Douglas boat harbor were underwater due to ice accumulation. John reported that several cleats on the dock were sprung on his boat. YIKES again!
It snowed off-and-on yesterday. I spent a awhile at the airport waiting for Joan to arrive...she missed approach and her flight went down to Ketchikan where she and her fellow Juneau bound passengers were given the heave-ho and re-booked on later flights to Juneau. I have not heard from her today...but assume she got in last night while I was occupied with the Dougie bacchanalia.
We're under a winter storm warning for tonight...possible 6 inches or so by morning; but I gotta feelin' it ain't gonna happen.
