Bonfire of the Goddesses

One tough woman-------do I like Robert Redford------never disliked any of his movies. He is so astute to everything in a movie.  Helped he was yummy to look at toooo LOL. If I had to pick a favorite it would be Jeremiah Johnson.             Anthony Hopkins-solid, my  favorite of his was "Silence of the Lambs".  Superb. Wasn't as fond of the f/u movie. The chemistry between he and Moore was not the same as Jodie Foster.

I've always liked Robert Redford's movies and his looks, he's aged well too.  How about Cheers and Murphy Brown, heading a little more into the 80s' but love them.  I love how Candice Bergen has stayed active and portrays smart sexy middle aged women.  I want to wear my wrinkles half that well when I'm her age.  Partridge Family as hippies.  That's funny, and my incisions still hurt to laugh.  Yeah, while I'm at it, I'll throw the residual pain and weakness from surgery on the bonfire!

Love John Goodman, no I haven't seen King Pin, I'll need to put it on my netflix list

SAS I like those movies but dislike martinis intensly so can I toss mine into the bonfire?

(stand back, it's pure alcohol !)

OK here ya go Kate.  I'll try to be careful and not spill any... ;-)

Sas, I would have shared with you.  I'm pretty traditional.  I like a chilled very very dry vodka martini with olive.  I don't indulge often, but when I do, boy, it tastes so very good.  Although someone made me one once with cranberry juice, fresh squeezed lime, vodka and Grand Marnier (sp?).  That was pretty darn good too.  Have fun tonight, you can fill us in tomorrow around the bonfire

kate, you haven't until now. :-)  I'm in the southwest part of the state and work in Madison.

Jo, a cosmo is cranberry juice, lime juice, vodka and triple sec but you can use Grand Marnier.

I like the curl of lime-peel garnish!

Jo, we can make you an NA version with the cranberry & lime juices and some tonic water.

Still have to have a pretty garnish though. 

Hey ladies, what about fireworks around the bonfire starting July 1 for Canada Day through Independence Day July 4.  We'd all have to take off from work for a four-day weekend in honor of and mutual respect for our homelands. 

I live in the home of beer (and cheese) so can easily lay my hands on some kegs.

One has to be dark beer and one has to be NA beer and one should be 'light' beer.

Any preferences?

congratuations in advance Jo... you can tell your DH that you still see fireworks when he kisses you LOL!

Kmmd..but we really are all there! Just takes some imagining. Close your eyes... And then you will see the fireworks and smell the smoke! That fire is magical!

My little guy was due the end of July and decided to make his debut on the 4th of July! What a great day to celebrate a birthday... And an easy day to remember!

He sure did assert his independence... And so did I! I would so much rather be down at a bonfire and enjoying fireworks on the 4th, instead of being in the damn delivery room giving birth! Now where's the kegger???!!!

Okay back from dinner had a pomegrante/orangejuice/voldka----with squessed orange slice. Good, but it didn't taste like a tini-very tropical---good. Must try the original. Nonetheless, went to dinner with DS, good conversation, good food. Some of you may know or not, but my Dh died last August. So, It's our first fathers day without him.So, here's to Greg a great father and a great husband of 38 years, loving you still.
