Last weekend was the CRAZIEST we've had at PHouse to date. It started with a wildly busy Thursday... yes, Thursday. Why? We have no idea, but when a very lovely lady called and said "We surely don't need reservations on a Thursday..." we had to correct her. Chris, Mike and I prevailed without a glitch.
Then, on to Friday. Oh my! First, we bid good wishes to Chris for her hand surgery, then we jumped off the dock into deep water without a life preserver. We were thrilled to welcome both Morris 2 Morris (hip jazz father/son team that rocked the house) and Dominic Burke, the new winemaker from Superior Estates. The Morris team played up a storm. Dom poured up a storm, then kicked his heels up with a few of the local ladies. It was just too much fun. Noelle & I survived the kitchen duty and as usual, Mike & Tina had it covered on the front end. Todd, my friend... we missed you very much! Come back to the PHouse kitchen SOON!
And, no rest for the wicked... on to "A Very Brady Murder Mystery!" Joel & Erica arrived from Chicago around 5PM and 7PM was Show Time. Joel makes a great Jan Brady, but needs to shave his legs. A shout out to the DVM in the audience who performed the hymlic on "Jan", not only saving her life, but jeopardizing Joel's manhood :) Also, a big thanks to Chuck & Mike, my old state capitol friends who ventured out with their wives for some good laughs! It was legislative "old home week" with a call from my old committee page pal Jeff, and a visit from Dorothy, the former big cheese in the Approps office! Good to see and hear from old friends, always! Well, Sam did it... he's a jealous fool!
On to Sunday- a slow but steady day that started off with Passport Wine Tourers from Neligh, NE and a nice chat... wrapping up with Bumbleberry Tarts and vanilla ice cream for dessert with guests from Dorchester. What a wild weekend. We wouldn't want to tackle it every weekend, but it was a big success and lots of fun. Could not do it without the local support of many, and the love and help of PHouse staff.
Cheers, until next time!
