While I have been significantly lazy today, Mr. Moon has almost finished the deck. He has worked so hard on it. It's made not of wood but that compressed recycled stuff that will supposedly last forever. I sure hope so. He really does not need to do that again.
I'm here to tell you that I won't really be here tonight because Lon and Lis are coming for supper and I'll be busy in the kitchen and socializing and stuff like that.
I'm so excited.
I've got bread in the oven and I'm going to roast a little chicken and I have potatoes and carrots from the garden. I went out to pull the rest of those and had no idea that so many were still lurking underground.
Okay, it's not that many but I honestly thought there were about three. Don't ask me why. I'm not very observant.
So that's it from me this evening. All is well and there will be martinis and the men will discuss radiators and radial saws and radial tires (I'm making this up- I have no idea what they'll discuss) and Lis and I will giggle like Betty and Wilma because that's what we do.
I am not making that up.
I am not making that up.
Love...Ms. Moon
P.S. As of today, I have been writing this blog for fifteen years and one week which makes a total of 9,093 posts I've written but who's counting? Well, Blogger, for one.
Thanks for being here, y'all. I could probably do it without you but it sure would be lonely. Not to mention pointless.
I kiss every one of you.

Enjoy your evening! It's surprising when you realize how long your blogging term has been, and the other statistics I hardly ever look at.
ReplyDeleteIt's done bird by bird.
I don't look at them either, Liz, but I did get curious as to how many posts I've published in the fifteen years. Bird by bird is exactly right. Thank you, Anne Lamott!
DeleteSuch a nice evening you have ahead. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWe did!
DeleteCongratulations! And a fitting celebratory evening. That deck looks great too.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't the deck look great?
Delete😘 kisses to you, too! How did you fix those carrots? Actually, your supper sounds pretty darned good!
ReplyDeleteMr. Moon has done an outstanding job on that deck! WOW!!
Enjoy your evening and your company!
I peeled and sliced some of the carrots and arranged them in the bottom of the pan I used to roast the chicken in and set the chicken on top of the carrots. I also used a lot of garlic on the carrots that I peeled and roughly chopped.
DeleteThe deck is lovely. Good job to the men. Glad you have Lon and Lis to hang with.
ReplyDeleteMe too! And both Glen and Lon are very precise carpenters.
DeleteMr. Moon is a marvel for sure! I wish him good health forever more ! I wish you a kiss.
ReplyDeleteThank you, linda for the wishes and the kiss.
DeleteGreat looking deck! Enjoy your evening. Keep writing the blog - I look forward to it every day.
ReplyDeleteWilma- that makes my heart happy. Thank you.
Delete37paddington: Look at Mr. Moon go! Beautiful deck in the making. Enjoy your evening with dear friends. It’s the best.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. The best.
DeleteI kiss you back. I've been looking forward to your posts everyday since I found your blog about 10 years ago.
ReplyDeleteComments like that are my paycheck. Thank you.

It was a terrific evening!
DeleteThat deck is outrageous. I want to come over and set there a while. Honestly. And happy blogaversary. I think I've been here nearly the entire time, and you've changed and enriched my life in countless ways.
ReplyDeleteAnd you mine, darling Elizabeth.
DeleteThe deck is looking REALLY great! Have a wonderful evening. Fifteen years! fifteen years of wonderful stories :)
ReplyDeleteThere are more stories. Some I will probably never write about but you never know...
DeleteWow, that's a lot of posts. Thank you. Your deck looks great. Have a nice evening.
ReplyDeleteThank you, e!
DeleteBon appétit! Have a wonderful evening!
ReplyDeleteI do believe that Julia Child's ghost showed up to wish us all a bon appetit!
DeleteI love reading your posts, and seeing your. photos. Hope that you had a lovely evening with your friends, and are now sleeping soundly. I reckon it is about 4am with you as I write! Sending kisses back.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was probably deep, deep in sleep at 4 a.m. Thank you.
DeleteThat's one heck of deck - what a great achievement.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a fabulous achievement 9,093 posts is too. I'm in awe! We write for so many reasons of which connecting is only one - albeit a vital component. I guess you could say the same about kisses. Meanwhile, here's one from Wales X
Thank you, Mr. Bike Shed! For the words and the kiss.
DeleteHappy blogaversary! Have fun with Lon and Lis. The deck is looking great!
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm proud of Glen. He is amazing.
DeleteSuch a handy man. It looks good. I was wondering what kind of wood that was from the color so, yeah, it's not wood. Hope you had a lovely evening but of course you did.
ReplyDeleteNope. Not wood. The crap they sell now just rots. So, we will try this.
DeleteThat's a fine looking deck and the man building it too frankly 😉 Cheers to you and your blog - I love them both very much. I am sure last night was a great time for the four of you!
ReplyDeleteHe is a handsome guy, isn't he? I do love him so. Thank you for being here so long, Jill. And yes, last night was great.
DeleteMy gosh, Mr. Moon must be sore and tired from all of that work on the deck. How nice that looks! I surely appears as if he knows what he is doing out there!
ReplyDeleteHope your evening was terrific and there was lots of laughter!
The deck looks great! I think I've read every post, although I started reading them around 2011/2012. I was so caught up in your blog I had to go back and start at the beginning.
