Wednesday 20-08-14 – TDK Café Celebrates National Radio Day

Morning EC and KJ! ….. I first heard the Beatles, the Stones, Beachboys, Joni Mitchell, etc. on the Radio my Dad gave me in the ’60s ….. I remember many hours listening to ‘my music’ while doing homework, or trying to roll my hair on those huge orange juice cans! LOL …. I got a record player for my 12th birthday, and I think the first album I bought was December’s Children…… fond memories!

…. nice to meet good neighbors, EC! ….. we had the best neighborhood friends in the big house we raised our kids in, the entire block of kids would play hide the flag in the evenings ….. kids ranged from 6 to 16, brothers and sisters of all ages …. they had a blast! ….. and our street was dead end on both sides, so our little cul de sac circle was a safe and secure place for them to play….. we’d have street BBQs on the weekends ….. good times!

.. Well, I’m getting ready to go down and get to work on my NEW computer, so happy it got all set up ….. I have to say, the 27″ screen feels like working on a movie screen! larger than my kitchen TV! LOL ….

Good morning KJ, ECB, and AV.
Love the pledge drive/operators have no thumbs pic! Listened to WABC radio out of NYC on my transistor radio – I can still hear the jingle! Big deal when I got a speaker that was flat so one could lay on a pillow and listen, much more comfy than those earphone thingies (called earbuds now).
ECB, how nice that you are getting to know friendly neighbors. When there’s a bird of prey around here, the birds make themselves scarce.
Enjoy that big a$$ monitor, AV!
Oh those oj cans, lol!

Hi JK – yay, you finally have summer weather!

Anniversary dinner on the lake last evening was fabulous! Very old building updated nicely but still retained that rustic look. Lots of iron and cobblestone and fieldstone. Beautiful weather, dined on the terrace just a few feet from the water. Lots of ducks hanging out, fun to watch. From German Nachos to Chocolate Mousse, everything was great. Oh and the margaritas were good too!

German Nachos – real potato chips, bratwurst, red onions and an amazing cheese sauce that I can’t remember the name of!
Contrary to some of the reviews, the food was great and it was not that expensive. We have spent more for entrees at other places. Courteous and pleasant staff and they timed the courses perfectly.
There was a main terrace, that you can see in the picture, and also a lower one, up close and personal to the water!

I’ll join you JK. We can bring the agency kitties – they will love watching the ducks and sunning themselves on the dock.

Move over JK, coming through the wormhole to sit beside you! German nachos sound awesome!! Was hoping to sit here and chat a while, but Mr. KZ came up here to tell me we need to take off in the car to drop off some stuff to the tax guy. 😕 Much rather be here. I’ll be back later all!

Kewel! The drive around the lake is very scenic.

Hey guys 🙂 gosh I’ve missed TDK!! My internet is only just fixed ( still not great) and I’ve been so incredibly busy today.. So I hope to catch up in a bit.. Hope everyone’s hump day has been a good one so far 🙂
