Pat Meets His New Neighbors

Pat meets his new neighbors at Sunland Ranch

Pat met his new neighbors yesterday!

Pat brought a wonderful woodlot lot in Milton, Delaware last year.  This is the first time he's been able to meet his new neighbors.  Again, the stars were in alignment.  We had a beautiful day.  

NO SNOW
NO RAIN
NO COLD

And of course as expected Pat was an immediate hit with his new neighbors.

After a delightful visit with Pat's new delightful neighbors we headed off for lunch to The Backyard in Milton.  Great lunch!  And as an extra bonus my friends Ted and Don, two of Milton's exemplar citizens,  just happened to saunter in.  I implored them to join us for lunch.  I introduced them to Pat and we all had a grand lunch.

After our noonday repast, Pat and I head off to our next adventure, which I forget now.  What a day he had yesterday!  I do remember that we stopped back at the house and Pat visited with Bill for a "wee" bit (I'm picking up Pat's Canadian slang).

After a very eventful day under sunny skies and 70 degrees temperatures, Pat and I ended the day with our favorite grilled veggie extravaganza at the La Quetzalteca restaurant in Millsboro.  When Pat visits I make sure he doesn't go to bed hungry.

Speaking of food, here is the menu for the Bloggerpalooza buffet on Saturday night.  Looks delicious!

The best is yet to come.

I REALLY like the rug in your sunroom! Also, Pat's neighbors look like good people. Can't wait to see his minimalist home once it is completed. I like minimalism in theory, but I have trouble living it. Hope you all have fun!

Good weather, good friends, & good food - - what more could you ask for? I'll be anxious to see Pat's minimalist "hoose".
Good neighbors seem to be swarming in your neck of the woods. Could you send some of them to me in Texas??

This is truly awesome! A new hoose on a woodlot lot (whatever that is). And great neighbors, plus good ol' boys, lotsa Mexican food, and OMG THAT MENU LOOKS WONDERFUL!!!

Randy H. from Nebraska made it into Richmond ON TIME and we have painted the town gay! Leaving about 10AM tomorrow morning for Berlin, MD via the Chesapeake Bay Bridge & Tunnel for a liquid lunch (thank you, Slugmama, for the idea), then on to Lewes!!!

I think the torrential rain and gusty winds have subsided.

Peace <3

Ron - so busy on my visit to you in Dela where I missed your blog. Great to meet those people in my new hood. Really enjoyed meeting your friends Ted and Don. Just getting back to normal now (whatever that is) in toronto. Freezing weather and all.

Pat

Ron said...

Pat,
Thanks for visiting Delaware. I have a feeling your new neighbors are very happy with you being their new neighbor. Life will be quite a bit different here in Lower Slower Delaware than Toronto but I think you will find it to be much to your liking. Now just to leave this freezing winter weather behind us…..finally.
Ron

David Jeffreys said...

Yes, Ron, you did manage to sandwich the Bloggerpalooza in between snow storms! Just THREE more days until Spring! AND IT HAD BETTER ARRIVE ON TIME AND BE HERE TO STAY!

Ron said...

David,
I always guarantee PERFECT weather for all my functions!
