Celebrating Life
Whenever Antoinette and I celebrated a special occassion, whether on a cruise, a family event, Thanksgiving, Christmas or simply at dinner, our drink of choice was Crown Royal and seven up on the rocks.
Once after leaving Acapulco, a few of us gathered at our favorite club and ordered our drink, Nora a long-time family friend joined us. Antoinette was full of energy and after we ordered a second round, we danced before the evening was over. Next day she told me" I slept soundly"
As time went by and whenever we had the excuse to celebrate anything, after offering her a drink she would tell me " Okay I'll have a drink just the way you make it for me" As we raised our glasses she would say "cure me or kill me "
This past Thanksgiving, I had to have a Crown Royal and 7 for both Antoinette and Nora.
I am sure both ladies are having their own celebrations in heaven...salud dear ladies "you did it your way " !
