Friday Night Toasts

The problem with some people is that when they're not drunk...they're sober. - William Butler Yeats

The first draught serveth for health, the second for pleasure, the third for shame, the fourth for madness. - Sir Walter Raleigh

To alcohol! The cause and the solution to all of life's problems! - Homer Simpson

A woman drove me to drink...and I never even had the courtesy to thank her! - W.C. Fields

He was a wise man who invented beer. - Plato

To wife's and mistresses...may they never meet! - Royal Navy Toast

And my own toast for the evening. To best friends, who know the worst about us but refuse to believe it!

Lady Allwinky and I brunched and roadtripped this Saturday

a visit to the past via Lincoln Days

we visited Sir Bowie of Greenbriar and Sir James of Taylor (who was gracious enough to share his tent when the rain came down)

Sir B fed us peach cobbler cooked in his dutch oven

we toured log cabins and saw a wedding re-enactment

A good day and now a good night!

Lady S, off to find a beer and practice these toasts!
