Wow! I'm ba-ack from a 10 day vay-kay (yes, tis true--the DNC drove me out of town--though I had actually planned the trip months ago). Thank you all very much for your hearty, generous wishes! On my birthday, I was at an idyllic farm in Ontario. We had wonderful weather and I cooked a lasagna dinner, with chocolate cake for dessert, for a lovely group of people I adore. It's a Philippine custom to cook dinner for your friends on your b-day--I'm not Filipino but I have fun with this custom on certain years... I ended the evening with a romantic, HOT (in EVERY sense of the word) wood sauna with my hunky boyfriend... mmmrrrrrowrrrr... (happy contended purring from Gothick).
While we were playing, I did hear an odd, echoing SHRIEK of indignation coming from far, far away... and I wondered just what it was--a wet kitty in a state of barely contained fury??? And now, looking at Connie's GENIUS artwork, I know who was haranguing me--Miss Judith Fellows, Chaperone Extraordinaire!
I'll make sure there's nothing sharp and pointed in reach on my next visit to tea with Our Judith!
Heather, you should write the Judith/Pepe story! I LOVE IT!!!
And I want to see it SOON... you know what I mean, Missy... DON'T MAKE ME TAKE STEPS...
cackling yet again with delight, Steve
