Skal! To good food, good company, good conversation!

Good Evening, or whatever is the appropriate greeting in your part of the world!

It is now dark 'outside'; and am glad that we are 'inside' for the night; and that it is Friday night! It has been a very full day; and we are looking forward to a very full night's sleep! Am enjoying a glass of red wine at the bit moment! Skal!

Do not know where the tid to begin! All I can say is that we took care of our admin stuff, priority business projects, our 'saga' with Alan's family, and then various appointments downtown this afternoon. The total day, in a tidbit, went by in a bittid blur!

My daughter and I enjoyed a really nice evening last night. We met for dinner at a wonderful Italian restaurant (that my son recommended!); the food was delicious, but the shared Caesar Salad, we savoured, was outstanding! Good meaningful and genuine conversation; and we agreed to move forward in a positive direction.

Tidbit - Family is where it is at! Discuss issues directly; not based on second or third hand news, whatever. "He said..., she said..."; and so forth. Best not to let matters build up to such a point, where it boxes people in and entrenches them in their position. Thus an impasse. Communication is so vital; and, I believe by being open and transparent in our genuine thoughts, is the much better route to travel.

Bittid - The same goes for good friends. If there is a problem, deal with it - directly. A lesson I learned a long time ago, was to admit a mistake and apologize.

We Pray to Him daily for Guidance and Wisdom; that would include the Words He would have us speak - all in loving compassion and for the end result, which is - PEACE.

The above photo images are mouth wateringly similar to what we devoured last night. With the bit exceptions, that the pizza was a Cheese / Tomato speciality of the establishment; and the noodles were Spaghetti, and, a la Clams Vongole. And of course, we appreciated a tid 1/2 litre (1.5 glasses each - which is just right!) of Italian full bodied red wine, the house featured wine.

Skal now once again, but with South African vino!

Good Night and God Bless. Until tomorrow!
