A Really Bad Day Turns Into a Really Good Day

Yay...it's Saturday, our favourite thing!  Phil took us down to Fireman's Park so we could roll in the dirt.  When we came home, he put us in the back of the Volvo.  Wait - this cannot be a good thing on a couple of fronts:  first, we just came from the park, so it's highly unlikely we are being driven to another park, and secondly, he hasn't driven the Volvo since mid-January.

Oh, dear.  Where are we going?  Noodles looks worried.

 Sure enough, our worst fears were realized.  We were heading to the doggie beauty parlour.  We absolutely hate the beauty parlour.  Guess we should have clued in sooner as Phil has been talking about how we smell and Janet hauls out the vacuum nearly every day to get our doggie fur off the floor.

The really good part was we got to come home around 5PM.  Janet was really busy in the kitchen, so this likely means we are having company.  Yessiree...soon after that lots of people started to arrive.  Lolo and Steve, then our cousin Brad and his girlfriend Kim and then Jeremy.  Meg and Derek were already here.  They were having Easter Dinner!

Janet made Bruschetta with Gorgonzola Spread and Black Olive Tapenade and some cheese and crackers.  Phil was lucky...he went to Epi Foi to get the baguette and there were three left with two customers ahead of him....one lady didn't want one - phew!

For dinner, they had Twice Baked Potato Casserole, Grilled Vegetable Stacks with Goat Cheese and Fresh Mozzarella and Mustard Herb Crusted Prime Rib.

For dessert, Meg wanted Janet to make Pina Coloda Cheesecake as she is trying to convince Derek he will like cheesecake.

In an effort to let everyone know the bride to be is THE most important person in ANY room, Meg totally obliterates Stevie from the photo.  You can see a very small portion of the back of his head.

And, here is the gang.  Lori and Steve had already gone home.

Don't they look nice?  Brad and Kim are lots of fun, very interesting.  Bonus - they always compliment Janet on her food.

Last, but not least, this is how pretty we look after our horrendous day at the beauty parlour:

We might think twice before getting in the back of that Volvo again.
