Spur Of The Moment

Sort of. This morning my cousin's husband called me. R. was on his way from Berkeley back to Pennsylvania, and was heading east on the highway that goes through Lexington. He asked if he and his buddy could stop by.

I offered them a couple of beds, and R. said, "Can we at least use your shower?" Jokester.

I made us tortilla soup for dinner, got a couple of growlers of beer, and we had a nice, quiet evening.

It's not earth-shattering, but it was nice to welcome R. and his buddy into our home. He's the first person in my family to visit.

I understand the significance of that...

Nice! Plus you're the most engaging hostess. Low maintenance and graciousness all wrapped into one.

Significant indeed. But what, pray tell, is a "growler" of beer?

Oh, and by the way, happy Beaujolais Nouveau day! Picking up my own case after work... ;-)

A growler is a half-gallon jug of draft beer. Lots of brewpubs sell them. You pay a fee for the growler and the beer the first time, then you keep the growler and get refills for whatever price. Our growlers were $3.00 + $7.99 for Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. (For example.)

We get ours at an enormous liquor store called Liquor Barn. :)

that IS nice! as much as i say i loathe unexpected guests, that sounds like a lovely evening.

[Margaret]

It sounds like it worked out very well for all concerned. I was going to ask what a growler was, but you already answered that!

I think this sort of unexpected gift is the best way to have visitors. It eliminates all that preparation pressure and just let's you have the enjoy part.

Wish you had been able to tag along on the Berkeley trip. Would have been great to catch up in person after all these years!
