On Thursday, 10 September was more upbeat, with a family gathering in Government House to watch Pirates of the Caribbean, Curse of the Black Pearl, as part of an impromptu pirate night. Ocean-themed foods were served, including fish sticks, Swedish Fish candy and Goldfish snacks, as well as Ben and Jerry's Phish Food ice cream. Sword fights were had and the movie enjoyed at this nautical festivity, a week before Talk Like A Pirate Day!
Thursday, 10 September also marked the President and First Lady's 9th wedding anniversary, which they celebrated the following day, on the 11th. The First Couple traveled to Reno, Nevada to celebrate, dining at the upscale Churrasco Brazilian Steakhouse and spending the night in the Imperial Suite of the Peppermill Resort. Happy Anniversary you two!
Saturday, 12 September saw the arrival of a new Molossian resident, Stella the Cat. It has been a while since a feline has called Molossia home and The President decided it was time to adopt. Stella is an older cat, about eight years old, and a bit skittish around people. It is certain though that she will warm to the First Family and soon become a beloved member of the household.
