'Better Late than Never' Strikes Again

The indelible stamp of my favorite aunt my birthday gift arrived seven months late Yet unwrapping the newspaper was well worth the wait Though the fruit cake was moldy ~ The ‘London Times' was first-rate

Everything’s late, even the news though this week’s been hopping! I’m limping from the rough ride…and where in the world is Waldo? (rambling, waiting to see what is clear…) Moldy fruit cake…impossible…lol

Better late than never doesn't always apply. Can't always have your cake and eat it too. ~ gw

made me smile GW - someone I know sent a birthday cake from Bulgaria to the Uk - she had covered it with marzipan ... which confused the sensors as it can be thought to be plastic explosives ... as it was unsure of the contents of the package the cake got blown to smitereens! hugs jan xx
