Birthday

Texts and phone calls, Gifts and cards, All conveying Best regards. Took my walk and Zoomed my class – My quilting project’s Kickin’ ass. Had a candle Which I blew. (Instead of cake – Tiramisu!) Soon a dinner – Mussels, fries, I.P.A. and Lemon pies. First New Orleans – Golly gee! What a birthday, Just for me!

Well Happy Birthday, Ilene. Mine's coming up soon, and maybe I'll consider "tiramisu" this year instead of my usual Sara Lee Strawberry Cheesecake. I'll pass on the "mussels", though.

All that great food, and you didn't even invite me to share it with you! Shame on you. BTW, I'll take mussels over clams anyday! / Maurice

Never heard of tiramisu, but it sure looks like cake in the images on Google.

Blimey, Ilene, I had my bags packed in the hope of popping over for some of that tiramisu… then you mentioned mussels… I hate shellfish… except shrimp/prawns… so enjoy your birthday…. Alas, I’m off to Macdonalds.
