Don’t Worry, Be Happy

February 28, 2011 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

National Margarita Day

If you’d like to make your own Margarita, watch this: David’s salesman is in town today so we will probably go out to dinner with him tonight.  I’ll let Joe, one of our favorite bartenders, make my Margarita.  No salt, please.

From my sweetheart: And then he took me out to dinner where I enjoyed a delicious meal of blackened Mahi Mahi with a dill cream sauce, sautéed vegetables, salad and wine.  Just as we were finishing our meal some friends showed up and we spent another hour or more chatting and laughing.  It was a…
