The China Pearl Inn part 7

I understand Robyn. I trust your day is going well and that you and Sal are being very naughty and pleasing young ladies. :devil:ish :D


I am as always behaving Robyn,.....all though it be badly,.....but still behaving. ;)
 
Nearing 1am in my world I slip into the ol inn. Quickly finding a blanket for all of the patrons sleeping in the main room. Next I bring in the fire wood. With a winter storm headed my way a few extra logs here might just help. Quietly as I can I restoak the fire and add a few logs. Start a fresh pot of coffee and one for tea. Then in to the kitchen. I know Phoo won't mind I rarely leave him a mess to clean up. Beat stew in one cauldron, one for seafood gumbo, and one for a thick clam chowder. That should warm their stomachs. Bring out the good silver service set and plenty of cream and sugar. A few muffins on one platter, one for bagels, one for bread and toast, one for pancakes waffles and French toast, and lastly one for strips and jellies. That should feed them all and the stews, and chowder should be ready by lunch.

A very old friend contacted me from out of the blue a few days ago. My brain hasn't figured out how to process the information yet. Because of where we last saw eachother there are a world of things going through my head when I'm awake. Sleep, well im still waking up to the smell of gunpowder and burnt flesh. And my ears ringing but that all fades fairly quick when my eyes open. Neadless to say it's been kinda rough the last few nights. Even thought about taking the couch so I don't wake up the wife. She has enough of that every few hours just feeding our daughter. But she is just as stubborn as when I married her and won't hear of me not sleeping in bed. So here i am up late and not sure i want to close my eyes for the first time in a long time.
But I had to stop in and wish everyone well. I kinda rely on the ol inn and her patrons to be doing better than I am right now.
I hope to see you all soon ladies and gentlemen.

I think I'll end my night here with two fingers of JD honey and leave the dirty glass just to show Phoo I miss him too.

1 o'clock and all's well
 
Thanks for the spread, RT. I am sorry for the reason you are awake. I wish there was someway to just snap my fingers and make all those memories disappear. But if one gets rid of the bad, then once gets rid of the good. Try to focus on the dumb things one of your teammates said or did that made everyone laugh in the middle of chaos. Remember the look of a small child or a mother when your team made their neighborhood safer.

I have always thought it amazingly awful that people can see the damage war does and then go back and have another.

Let your wife's love give you good dreams. hug
 
Yes thanks for the spread. The beauty of the inn is we can take it with us. Sal & I are leading ‘beach landings’ next week and taking command of ‘hostage situations’.

SF you know no one hates war more than a warrior, it’s evil. I can still hear the frantic cries of a mother over her dying baby and can see another dying baby I held in my arms. You’re never the same after that.

So my resolve is to work with men & women of goodwill to destroy war for ever. Won’t happen ... but we can dream.
 
*Shambles in*

*Grabs a bottle of gin from behind the bar and slips into the space under the bar*

I have seen the marines do beach landings several times at Camp Pendleton in California. It is fun to watch but one can't watch for long as there is no where to pull off the freeway, so all you can do is see what you can while flying down the freeway. :)

Night Uggg:cattail:
 
Hey everyone! Will catch up more this evening, but I am thinking of you all with a warm heart and moist loins. :kiss:
 
Morning Shiva. I hope to catch you......I mean catch up with you later. ;)

Raven thanks for keeping the Inn shipshape and in Bristol fashion and the chow is appreciated as well, just make sure not to put Phoo Ming's nose out of shape can't afford for him to go on strike.:)

All who have seen the elephant are effected can't help but be. Robyn good luck with your beach landings.

S F good to see you.
 
That it can L F. Until then we stand guard to keep the peace, the torch is past to a new generation.
 
And if enough people dream Robyn, it can become a reality.

That it can L F. Until then we stand guard to keep the peace, the torch is past to a new generation.

We work for peace but sometimes we have to fight for it LF. CG & RT have passed the torch to us, we’ll care for it and one day pass it on to the next generation.

We drove in convoy to the naval base and tomorrow we join up with our colleagues for our exercises. Won’t be on much if at all but we will check when we can.

However, we heard from the Lionesses. All is well.
 
I am glad to here that all is well Robyn with the lionesses. Take care in your naval exercises the sea is unforgiving and it will might you if you let it particularly at the surf line. The gradient of the beach is a determining factor. ;)
 
HSG sent me an email CG thanking everyone for their greetings. And telling us to ‘listen to CG’. So thanks so much for your advice.
 
HSG is a very able commander and a great gal. I do miss her. That being said you are quite a gal yourself Robyn. :rose::kiss::rose:
 
Snow hasn't completely melted yet, although the driveway is clear. Been chilly outside, but I am warm and toasty inside. Making chocolate shortbread cookies, will leave a platter of them on the bar for anyone that wants one.
