60 Please, no more weeks like last week

Last week was so incredibly stressful, I don't know if I could handle two of them in a row.

First, was finding out about Kevin, then Tuesday, finding out about my shoulder, then on Wednesday.... well, I went to the dentist for my usual cleaning, and the dentist found something out of the ordinary. He wants me to go to an oral surgeon for a biopsy on a lesion on my tongue.
When I told my wife about that last one, she went nuts with worry, not something I wanted her to do. My appointment is for a week from today.

SO..... lets hope for a better week this week huh!

Tomorrow is my first Physical Therapy appointment for my shoulder. I bet I'll be pretty sore after that.

Friday night, my friend Dave and I went out to dinner and a movie. We saw "Vantage Point", which was pretty good.

Saturday, I did a lot of work on stuff for the car club I belong to. I've probably posted it before, but here's the link to the club website that I do.

Sunday, we had our Wine Dinner for the wine group I belong to. Here's what was on the menu:

Hors D' Oeuvres:
Wine: Champagne and Mimosa's
International Cheeses and Crackers
Cut Vegetables with Dip
Antipasto
Vegetarian and Meat Crostinis

Appetizer:
Wine: Chapel Hill Angelica - Verdelho
Sweet & Sour Grilled Chicken with wilted Bok Choy

Soup:
Wine: Luna - Pinot Grigio
Roasted Tomato with Assiago Crostini

Salad:
Wine: Williamette Valley Vineyards - Pinot Noir
Panznalla, Marinated Flank Steak, Mescaline Greens, Toasted Chiabatta & Fresh Mozzarella with a Tomato Basil Vinaigrette

Intermezzo:
Lemon Sorbet

Entree: (choice of one)

Wine: Burgess - Merlot
Tenderloin of Beef, Blue Cheese Risotto with Broccoli
or
Wine: Faively Macon - Prisse
Swordfish with Strawberry Butter, Sweet Potato Hash and Vegetable Slaw

Dessert:
Wine: Fonseca - Port Bin 27
Cheeries Jubilee over Chocolate Cake

Everything was outstanding, with the exception of the dessert, which seemed to be chocolate cake topped with canned cherry pie filling. Quite a surprise after such a great meal.

Well, I have to run... have a wonderful day all!

Dear Dave:

You know that i am sending you my very best...good luck with the shoulder therapy, i hope you don't hurt too much afterward!

i'll be sending prayer for the 7th, that the surgeon find what he need, and that the lesion turns out to be a bit of nothing!

Hang in there, my friend! {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}

Yours,

michelle ('lil o)
