Good morning! Once again, everyone else is still asleep while I sit here amusing myself with the computer.
Kathie - Those cookies look delicious. I took the easy way out and had Bert pick up some cookies from Publix bakery. Not a fan of Publix bakery, but the did have oatmeal cookies and chocolate chip cookies. That should keep the masses happy and saved me from doing the work. 
Dave - Those bird houses look terrific. Kathi and the grandson did a great job. Your mentioning about the young man's obsession with different sodas (we don't call it pop here!) sort of reminded me of the movie Rainman and his obsession with buying his underwear at Kmart! Are there any more Kmart stores out there? They all closed in our area years ago.
Lee - The seafood boil was wonderful. Best part is that there is still plenty left, so we may have to go back today to help consume what's left. I'd be up for that task as long as I don't have to cook today. The wine pairing was unreal. It was a Mardi Gras themed tasting with 5 wines from France. Started with a crawfish dip with crackers that was to die for. Then a really good deviled egg, followed by a muffaletta sandwich. Next came a killer bowl of gumbo and finally individual 5" king cakes. All that for $10!!!!! the bowl of gumbo alone was worth it. We ended up buying 3 bottles of wine. G&E also bought 3 bottles, so there's going to be a lot of wine being passed around.
While G&E were out and about earlier yesterday, they stopped at Total Wines to get Jimmy a birthday gift. While there, they bought me a bottle of wine that I had heard about the day before. Elaine likes 19 Crimes merlot with Snoop Dog's picture on the label. The one they got for me was 19 Crimes Martha Steward on the label and it's a chardonnay. We'll try it one of these evenings and then Elaine can have the bottle for her collection.
The gang is all still asleep. I guess it's up to me to get my own breakfast today. Bummer!!
Have a super fantastic Sunday, everyone. Stay warm all you northerners and stay cool all of us here in the deep south.
Kathie - I see you posted just before me. I don't blame you for staying away from Church today with snow on the ground again.
Your covid numbers are much better than ours are thanks to the number of idiots who refuse to get vaccinated and also are not wearing masks while shopping. I'm so glad Bert still wears a mask at Publix, the big box stores and even when he gets gas. He also uses hand sanitizer as soon as he gets in the car. We are seeing less and less people wearing masks, so of course, our numbers are going to continue to be high.
