Our Adventures In Life

I have fallen so far behind on this page. It's been a hard winter. So I will try and catch up or at least start over yet again.

Last week we went on a date night at one of our favorite restaurants Provender Kitchen+ Bar in Ellsworth, Maine. They have just changed up the menu! I noticed they had a monkfish dish so thought maybe I should try it. I had no idea what to expect since it was the very first time I had had the chance to taste it. I have made a monkfish Halloween costume before but that is a whole different story :) Well I can not tell you enough how much I loved the dish! It may very well be my favorite dish there! Definitely tied for a favorite! We ended up having Lobster Rangoons, Monkfish and dessert. The drink was a Gin special but can't remember the name. They have creative drink names :) Highly recommended.

August has been a super busy month so far. The days just aren't long enough!The 7th was my husband's 60th birthday! Being a pandemic still I was unable to throw an awesome party :( I love having parties! So I had arranged for my 3 kids (his 3 are out of state :( ) and their other halves, and my youngest granddaughter, to join us at a restaurant that could meet all our dietary needs :) It's more challenging than you'd think, especially now. Just hours before we met up I found out that the place we had chosen had cooler issues and would not be open! So I was frantically seeing what was open and had the right menu. We ended up at 11 Central in Bangor and it was one of the best places we have eaten at! We really had no complaints! Food, service, atmosphere and all the details one looks for, plus necessary precautions for the pandemic. Amazing dinner. Highly recommend it! We had a very nice quiet birthday for him which I think he prefers :)

Wednesday. (85 days home for hubby) Another 10 hour day at work for me. My days are much more productive there. No distractions like at home. If I want I can put headphones on and zone out. I love listening to music while doing anything really. I finished three projects and and starting some cute cafe curtains tomorrow :) Tonight we stopped at a new eatery called Wicked Munchies. It was pretty good. The menu definitely fit the name :) Looking forward to a quiet weekend!!

Day 83. Monday. Today actually is Day 1 of going back to work. After 82 days of working from home or going in after hours . It was a good feeling. I missed my sewing machine, work table and am looking forward to weekends off lol. Started a drapery job. A patterned sheer with black out lining. I'm not a fan of seeing the lining seams. There should be another lining to hide them. They are over 100 inches long so is nice to have my big table and work space to work on them. I talked to our boss and she said everyone wants to work in the shop now so we are officially back to work. Except them. They aren't ready :) We wiil stil practice distancing and all the safety rules. Looking forward to a regular work week! Stay safe!
