Dear Carole,
So it didn't work for me to bring my knew knitting bag out to Massachusetts, and it's not too likely that I'll be in Utah this weekend either. But we've talked about this idea of a virtual Happy Hour for a while. And it seems to me if you can pull off a virtual baby shower, well this should be a piece of - brie.
I'm partial to vodka martinis, as I believe you are. If memory serves, Margene prefers gin?? I don't have any blue cheese stuffed olives, but I do have blue cheese (it was a bit early to pull it out of the fridge this morning and deal with the smell!) and I can make my own when the time is right.
I'll probably work on this sock for my sister-in-law. Baby cable rib in Koigu. Yum. I'm working on the short row heel and loving it. I may have to get through the heel before I get too far into my martini though. Just sayin...
So here's the deal. At some point this weekend, have a virtual Happy Hour. Get your martinis and your knitting ready. Take a picture. Let me know where you were, what you were working on, who you were with - blah blah blah. This virtual Happy Hour is open to anybody else who wants to join in. Around these parts it's supposed to be a pretty spectacular weekend. I'd expect to see some really nice outdoor "Happy Hour" pictures!
Shaken or stirred??

Gin or vodka work for me! I can drink more of the vodka variety, however;-) Oh and now I'm on to Irish Whiskey. Here's to you!
Oh and please shake but don't bruise ;-)
Ooo....Grey Goose vodka, just a splash of Glenlivet, twist of lemon. The Bone-Dry Martini, courtesy of Campiello.
Great idea! Mmm, too bad I don't have any Belvedere in the house. I'll have to make do.
My goodness, I don't know if I'll be that fancy up at the cabin... :)
I think I may have an opportunity or two this weekend to participate in this event. Heh.
Here's my version of a dirty martini: 3oz. Grey Goose Vodka, 1/4 oz. olive juice, 2 olives. Shake vigorously.
Drink. Relax. Smile.
I like a gin martini and I like it dirty....I may start tonight, 'kay?
Oh, I do love a party, though I never thought I'd actually be a party planner!! I'll be tippin' a glass to you this weekend, for sure!!
Hmmm, I have just switched from white wine (summery refreshment) to red (wintery warmth) so I'll be having a glass of merlot. Excellent with blue cheese, btw -- that's become my bedtime snack.
L'chaim! Prost! And may your house/blog always be too small to hold all your friends,
Let me get this straight. You're giving OTHER people present on MY birthday? ;-)
Oh that sounds like fun!
What fun. But neither hubby or I drink so no photos from me unless you count the wine I may add to the roast.
It might be virtual vodka. What with the migraines, I haven't been brave enough to drink alcohol in years.
tom collins please! (ok, i'm not too picky, margarita, mojito!!)

Oh yeah, here is my link! I was sitting 3.5 miles up a mtn knitting socks in WA state, Lower Lena Lake. Was with hubby and his best friend who were fishing. Backpacking next weekend at upper Lena 8 miles up!
