Big Mikey and his fabulous wife Shelley came down to stay with the us yesterday afternoon. We gathered a few of the Nor Cal Rabble for a bit of a dinner party.

The Kilted Juggernaut became our first international X Marker visitor join the Nor Cal Rabble in food, laughter, and a few refreshing beverages.

Here are a few photos from our evening

Big Mikey proves a bad fashion influenece on the The Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess




Shelley and Xena




Did you know that Big Mikey knits? Apparently James MacMillian has proved a bad influence and gotten him into it. Here he is at work on a clever kilt related project



One done!



(When I have a chance to "test drive" the completed pair I will give a review, I traded Mikey these for a "sgian don't" that I'd better start working on)


Mikey and Shelley brought down all sorts of wonderful things for the Nor Cal Rabble (Both are very talented, generous, and creative people). One thing they really wanted to share was some of the unique wines and spirits of their part of Canada. We enjoyed the Silver Sage's "The Flame" (a sweet wine with a hot pepper to make an almost Thai-like mix of sweet and hot and a very sweet Ice Wine.

Drink this one carefully



More to come!
