Thank you all. This morning I had the following interchange with my dear friend and former sister-n-law "HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR FRIEND - we are like two bottles of wine - better with age - here's to you — celebrating friendship." "Thank you Ruthie. I love the analogy. We are indeed fine wines. In youth we were like a sweet sauterne, by our 30's we had become an enjoyable Sauvignon blanc, middle age turns us into a nice Beaujolais. At this time, when I should be classified as a mellow Rosè, what I have really become is Grappa - with quite a kick."
That was my last years b-Day cake. The frosting caught fire before I could reach the extinguisher to blow out my candles.
