Sunday Night Dinnew

Sunday nights we have been taking tuwns wif some fwiends  making dinnew and having it togethew..This week was ouw tuwn and I suggested that Osso Bucco wif Wisotto Milanese
would be a gweat fall dinnew..it has all my favowites..Meat, veggables, wice and CHEESE!

Fiwst you bwown the meets,  then wedooce the bwown bits wif wine and pouw off that liquid and save....then saute a bunch of vegebles, then add wedooced sauce and meets and Boo Ket Gawni and Bwof and Chopped tomatoes and stick it in the oven all togethew

Latew you make wisotto (you have to wemembew to have soopew good cheese and add that expensive owange thweady thing in the bwof you use) Sluwp...sxoose me, I get vewy dwooly enthoosed

Of couwse I had to snoopewvise setting the table in Mommi's studio/ fowmew bedwoom

then welcome the fwiends (inclooding my baby bwuvvew Duffy and his Mom auntie Kawen)

My taste testing skills wewe wequiwed befowe anyone dawed eat all the stuff

eventooally they  all gobbled it up and sat awound yakking like always..but Duffy and I still had wowk to do

we awe pwewashews

The cleanup wowk would be too much fow Mommi to do alone..we awe vewy considewate and always help

This is anothew auntie Kawen..I will call hew KawenKawen..(she wote a weally cool book about the Mawkets of NewYawk and has a FB page about it) she and unkel James awe gweat fwiends who live in the same building wif us and we love them. They have a most wondewful kitty named Pantelewia Azoowa, I just call him Pants(they adopted him in Mozambique)

I hope all of you had gweat weekends and a good stawt to the week and youw tummies and heawts awe full like mine

Daddi and Mommi's adventoowe in the wilds of NewYewsey

Mommi and Daddi got home late last night and told me all sowts of gweat sowies fwom theiw long long day ..I think they bof got big colds, but said it was all wowf it.

Daddi and his fellow Peace Cowe  Volunteews  at the Plaque dedication   they attended at Wutgews in NewJewsey, whewe they twained 50 yeaws ago to go off to  the unknown

I think they must have been incwedibly bwave( much like us  doggies)..they had to go to a new place whewe evewyone spoke a diffewent language and all alone  twy to leawn how to help hoomans faw fwom them

(btw, my Daddi speaks bootiful Spanish to this day and he, and all of them said, they leawned mowe fwom the hoomans they went to help than the othew way awound.  The Colombians wewe kind and hospitable  and shawed theiw lives wif them)

I have a smilebox wif a bunch of pictoowes fwom theiw day, I hope you enjoy it

Picture collage made with Smilebox

They wewe vewy young and idealistic  50 yeaws ago, and fwom what I heaw, they haven't changed much on the inside.
(if you missed the News on NBC, you can see it hewe)

George is shaking hands with Alberto Lleras Camargo, President of Colombia at the Bogota in-country training site at Tibaitata. 

these awe some of the old pictoowes fwom that time

 Daddi was explaining to me that

Colombia 1 was a Wuwal Community Development Gwoup that wowked with a jointly administewed CAWE-Peace Cowe.  The Volunteews wewe paiwed up (Daddi  wif  Tom Mullins) and assigned to wuwal sites to wowk alongside a govewnment Community Action Pwogram called Accion Comunal and the National Association of Cafetewos, the majow coffee gwowews association of Colombia (know Juan Valdez?). Tom left after six months to go to another site and Daddi stayed  alone with  the locals to help him.

Community Development was fowming local committees to owganize self-help pwojects that benefitted the community and wanged from building woads, bwidges, schools, spowts fields, latwines, water supplies and health centews.

Daddi and his companiewo from Accion Comunal built a new bwidge into town and built a health center with bwicks that the community made.  Evewyone called Daddi "Don Jorge"

 

(Daddi wif his Colombian countewpawt Faustino Twujillo Mowwales in a photogwaph taken at his site in Fuquene Colombia ....  pictoowe is fwom the awticle in the Satuwday Evening Post)

The awticle: PROFILE OF A PEACECORPSMAN

 HOW A YOUNG AMERICAN HELPS THE RESIDENTS OF A  POOR , REMOTE COLOMBIAN VILLAGE HELP THEMSELVES

Thewe awe lots of stowies funny , and some sad, but mommi says  she wouldn't know whewe to stawt

Mommi and Daddi awe totally exhausted, I, ummm, stayed home and slept like an angel and didn't go watewskiing in the Hudson Wivew wif my pals and didn't come home dwipping watew all ovew the apawtment  to dwink hot cawob wif schlag  in theiw company

Wight now, I'm "Cawbo loading"..I heawd we all have to eat lots of sghetti the night befowe the newyawk Mawathon

(I'm wishing all the wunnews the most wondewful day)

Sooo Pwoud of Daddi

I just have to tell all of you how pwoud I am of my DADDI

I am pointing to his name on this plaque that they awe dedicating at Wutgews Oonivewsity tomowwow

My Daddi was in the Fiwst Peace Cowe Gwoup a million yeaws ago
He and his fellow volunteews fwom that gwoop awe being honowed.
He hasn't seen most of them fow  yeaws and yeaws, so it will be vewy special time fow him.
My Hooman Sissie and some fwiends awe coming to woot fow him , but I can't go.

I wasn't bowned yet of couwse, but I have seen wif my own eyes that he  was feetoowed  in an old time magzazine that was called  The Satuwday Evening POST ..it was septembew 8, 1962 and the magzazine cost twenty cents(I guess  things wewe cheepew then)

the title of the awticle was on the fwont covew"In the Andes with a Peace Cowpsman"

and thewe wewe fouw pages all about him wif pictoowes  whewe he looke way diffewent..sowt of hooge and he hadn't gotten his Look-alike -to -a-tewwiew beawd ow colowing yet

this is the fwont of a Tee shiwt  they made fow them..I hope it's my size, so I can show it off
I'm vewy pwoud of my Daddi .
 He has nevew stopped leawning fwom othews and being  genewous and peaceloving.

this is a yoo tube thingy that sowt of talks about  them and thewe's eve some pictoowes of Daddi thewe , but since I can't smell him, I don't wecognise him a tall



Aftew the Peace Cowe, , Daddi studied some mowe, then went back to diwect pawt of it fow a while in Chile, and then became a pwofessow

Lucky fow me, along the way, he became my Daddi
the sweetest , kindest , smawtest Daddi I know(OK, so I'm a little pwejoodiced , but he weally is gweat!)

I don't get to go to the cewemony, but mommi will go , so once again I have to pleez ask fow youw patience, cause we won't get a chance to visit you.

 so pleez stay healthy and happy and know you'we all in my heawt

Halloween Evening

I hope all of you awe wested up fwom a gweat weekend and don't have tummie aches fwom all the tweats you got

My adventoowe at Gwacie's pawty was too much fun,
( I hope you all went to visit  and enjoyed it too..she also has aftewmaf pictoowes today, so be suwe to check them out!)

but I had to huwwy home and get dwessed to go to my pawty at my wun

My moo cow costoome was histowy, my little devil howns  wewe gone too..luckily 
( I thought), my BFF came to the wescoo  by sending me theiw costoomes fwom last yeaw

what I didn't wealize was that thewe wewe devilishly howwid additions, like puwply-pink tights and leggings to go ovew them
once I was dwessed, I had to wemembew all my  moves fwom ballet school

twying to dance like this did not put nice thoughts in my head about Lacie

at last, we wewe all weady to go

but you know how hoomans dawdle

we set off  to the wun(it's thwee blocks fwom ouw house)

by the time we got to ouw lobby, my tights had to be pulled up , they wewe awound my ankles
by the time we went two steps fwom the fwont doow, one of my leggings fell off and blew away in the wicked wind
by the time we got to the end of the block, mommi gave up and took off the west of the leggings and tights

moohahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

watch this smilebox to see what happened at the wun

Make a digital scrapbook

all fuwwkids got wondewful goody bags and I had had a most wondewful time!!!

Ouw Thanks to The West Village Dog Wun association (muwahhh to Auntie Twace and unkel Wandy fow all theiw wowk and love fow all us doggies!!!!!!!!)

all in all, it was wowf getting all dwessed up
