She didn’t know how and had to be shown. what?! I thought college was supposed to be a bartending head start program! what’s the matter with kids these days?”

You crack me UP! (laughing)

I want to get to the beach at some point this summer. Right now the weekends are involved with one of the two of us feeling a bit worn out, and some minimal apartment tidying. *sigh*

My eldest son went to The Bartender Academy too, that was about 2 years ago, he still has’nt worked as a bartender!!!! ( I did make him pay for the class too). Love the dishcloths

We just had a big one here on sat and I am still cleaning up. We had to hire a girl to be a bartender for the wedding here 8/16. She will get a nice chunk of $ and not have to claim it!

While I do see a tiny triangle of the Duchess’s head in the lower left-hand corner, i am MUCH relieved that you’ve pointed the camera away, rather than towards us!

And the people skills you learn from dealing with drunks in various social situations is invaluable.

I’m still knitting very basic scarves, slowly. About as slowly as life is getting back to where it will let me do more.

Love that story. She was all loaded for bear, for nothing! I will have to try that sometime.

Who knew?

Most of my projects are too big to finish any time soon so I cast on for an easy one instead.

Bartending Academy . . . what a great idea! She should come out with a line of collegiate wear to go along with it.
