And Mario, I'd like a mint julep in honor of the day, please.

*moff enters and hands the barkeep a note*
My bronchitis has gotten so bad it has taken my voice. I could squeak at you but that would hurt my throat more.
Could I have a cup of hot tea with honey and lemon to go? Don't want to germ up the bar! :)
Moff, one honey lemon tea to go!
CM, Here ya go, one mint julep.
Mario, put those cherries back, those are for the cake!
And a final HAPPY BIRTHDAY to LH.............I know, you aren't home, but you do know you are well loved by all of us too.
MOFF, don't say a word..........here is your hot tea with honey.
Sit back, relax, maybe we can con Mario into cleaning up this place.
*oof, pant...* here's a little wooden rocking horse for you Mario! Put on your silks and let's go for a pony ride. Tea and honey and mint juleps for later on. (Well, those of you on the "other side of the pond" can have one now if you would like...). Git along little dogie :p Seeing that the Preakness is on Saturday in Baltimore we also can serve Black Eyed Susans as an option to Mint Juleps, and if we are on a Baltimore MARYLAND Preakness kick allow me to put some crab cakes together, or at least some crab dip or crab quiche ;)
Funny you should have this theme for Thursdays, one of our next door neighbors is a horse barn. And he does the sulky racing. Two foals have shown up next door. Very cute and full of energy. :D
I'll have one of those mint julips please. Mario please don't put that saddle on Lady.
The Preakness race is in Maryland. Maryland has a state cat (the calico) :) and a state drink (milk - I didn't know that Maryland was a dairy state!). My sister has black-eyed Susans in the flower garden at their summer place - I like them because they have such bright colors. So, Mario, milk for me, please. Actually, half milk and half coffee and if you'll hand me the mini blender, I'll whip myself up a latte.
And They're Off!
Well,
Happy B-day to LH!
I forgot to open the bar.For some reason I am a day behind...
Cm, THanks for opening!
Moff, get better.
Lh, glad to see you made it safely!
LOH, Geez, I hope it's not to bad when the wind shifts! :eek:
Gini, I'll strap some mop pads to Mario's feet.....then we'll play catch with him in the area we need mopped!
LB, how long will it take for Mario to figure out hwe's out of the money?
Well imagine my surprise this evening to discover that six giant monkeys had been inflated around Scotland!!! :eek:

RICHARD, I've been meaning to ask ~ where did the Turkey Truck come from :confused: If you tell me "the turkey farm" I'm going to slap you ;)
Do we get Lutefisk as well?
