Sunday Brunch-Boise Sunday Dinner and the Final Goodbyes in Misc. Thoughts opinions, the whole trash can.

Sunday morning has dawned. The determination was made be there at Vikki’s by 800 am. A text early, meet around 730-745 in the lobby, lets take one car. Okay this is Plasma Physics, I can see it starting to brew. We need to do this and need to do that, and the “Chef” is stressing. I said lets get moving, and you can do the other crap, when we arrive.

The Brunch Menu:
An Egg and Spinach casserole/quiche (3)
Hash brown casserole (2)
Chocolate and Strawberry Croissants (4 boxes)
Cut up Fruits (2 large bowls)
Candied Bacon (4 lbs)
Mimosas / Bloody Mary’s / Screwdrivers
Coffee / Water / Sparkling Water/ Orange Juice

She made the egg dishes early yesterday, but they still need to be baked. The bacon needs to be made. So does the hash browns and the fruit is not cut up. The Croissants need to be baked. Vikki has only one oven. Thank God for the neighbor across the street, they are gone for the weekend, and have a double oven, so the eggs are going in. They gave Vikki they keys so the ovens could be used. Lynn is making the Candied Bacon, and she is starting to be vocal. My wife and Mary are cutting up the fruit, and I finally ease the pain. “Lynn do you want me to make that hash brown recipe and give ya some breathing room”. “Would you!! that would be a help” Duh, time is ticking down, people will be arriving between 1030 and 1100 am. “Where is the recipe”? “On my cell phone, I don’t know why I didn’t print it out”. “Okay whats the pass code, it keeps going to sleep”. I am told, and I start getting them going. “Sorry to burst your bubble, your a can of soup, 2 cups of cheese, and a large container of Sour Cream short”. The wide open mouth and look of disbelief, and the I thought you grabbed that between them. Hmm weren’t we ALL at Winco yesterday? No, I didn’t say it out loud. The Croissants need to baked still, “30 minutes and you can have the oven”. I said “Somebody needs to go to the store, and get the missing items”. I start on the first one.

It all got done and on time, or close to it. There were at least 35 people. Everything was eaten. A clean up and back to the hotel. Plans were made for dinner out. The next equation?, where ? Well bantering back and forth, then a change and then another change. We finally settled for an Italian restaurant downtown Boise, and it was walking distance for us at the Hotel. It was basically Terry’s side of the Family and his oldest son and daughter. Vikki’s sister, who lives in Nampa, ID( The next town over ). The GUC’s, with and without spouses. 930 pm came fast and people will be heading back to Texas, Spokane, and Pennsylvania on Monday. Jill and Lynn they are going to Vegas for a few days and a concert at one of the Strip hotels. My wife and I are driving to Couer d’ Alene to overnight, then onto Canada for 3-4 days.

It was good to see everyone again. Time really flew past. But the adventure will continue. I’m glad it is just us.
