BINKY'S HERE! BINKY'S HERE!

 And of course, no visit home would be complete without a lunch at The Shed.........

 Where the girls could warm their legs while we await a table........

 Even Grandma doesn't mind waiting for a table at The Shed......

 Sisi peers out from the crowd to see if a table is on hand......

 But the wait is part of the drill at this popular restaurant.......

 When we finally get seated, Frannie regales us with tales of her exciting life..........

 And Artie keeps an eye on Donna to see that she doesn't eat all the food........

Baby Binks gives a pretty pose while Danny checks something on one of his phone's apps.............

 As the lunch progresses, Frannie's life tales become even more fantastic.................

 And the lovebirds look over the menu for dessert.............

 Back home, Winston is all snuggled in and thinks we were foolish to brave the cold just for some food........

 Baby Binks snuggles up to a good book..................

 And Giano joins her in the reading mode...............

Then as the pets prepare for yet another winter's nap.......

 Including Topaz...............

 And the languorous Mr. Winston...................

 Baby Binks, herself settles into some happy dreams.....................

 And awakens to a scrumptious dinner prepared by brother, Giano.  Now that I have been laid up, the menfolk have stepped up and prepared many of our meals.  This steak is a perfect Weight Watchers proportion for Mama........................

 But the meal also included mashed potatoes and asparagus..............

 Next day--not to be outdone--Dwight prepared a whole turkey!

So, Goodbye for now Bianca, but we know that you will be back for Christmas soon.
WE CAN HARDLY WAIT!
