BRUNCH AT THE FAMOUS "TOASTED BARREL" RESTAURANT

I just wanted to share my most pleasing "Brunch" experienced at "THE TOASTED BARREL" eatery yesterday.

My first pleasant surprise was finding how reasonable the pricing of the  brunch entree's  were.  (ranged between 12 - 18 dollars)  the second happy discovery was finding the list of entrees was quite extensive and  I had one hell of time making a decision as so many good things were listed to choose from.   I finally decided to go with the Eggs Benedict.---

The accompanying glasses (3---or was it 4?)) of excellent champagne, made for a most congenial occasion.      

       The food was so good,  we opted to go for coffee and dessert as well.  My selection was the Apple Tart w/ice cream













I would be remiss if I did not add,  that not only was the food quite good, the service by our waiter, his name was Andrew, was most efficient.  and only added to a most pleasant brunch experience-----OH yeahhhh!

CAN'T GET IT OUT-------!!?

Its maddening, and I can't get it out of my head---a Song with a the chorus echoing over and over in my mind.  Don't know the song title, nor do I remember the singer, but do know he is a Country singer.

The song itself,  is about a millenial type, confronting an old cowboy philosopher type and discussing what makes the world go around----and the chorus lyrics  have the old cowboy reiterating again and again-------
     "ITS FASTER HORSES, YOUNGER WOMEN, OLDER WHISKEY----AND MORE MONEY!"


(ya kinda have to like those country songs, a lot of true stuff said in em!!  LOL)

I need a Guru

I ran as fast as I could but Technology has left me in the dust.  I feel like a caveman looking through the glass at the modern world--and thinking  "Huh?  I still am unable to understand the pic xfer system offered and how to set it up-----soooo after much frustration, found the old "Drag & Drop" works for inserting my pics in my blog posts.

The image to my left is a pic of one of the nice lil details of the decor all through the passenger portions of the
Viking Riverboat "Odin", which I thoroughly enjoyed on my Paris to Prague river cruise last June.

The white orchids were prevalent all over, including all the passenger's cabins.  The pic above is of this old dude taking a pic of his cabin, (note the white orchid)


NOW as my headache recedes knowing I can access my pics, I will endeavor to put forth more cohesive blogs for your amusement.  (Hmmm 79yo's blog posts ----cohesive?? wobbles the mind)

PS:   Stand by Guru, we never know when we may need you---but its a comfort to know I got "people" to call on.
