The food was not bad, jam sandwiches and mugs of steamy hot cocoa. We sat around singing songs from the first world war, and then gave Sandie her 70 bumps! We then all dropped off for forty winks till it was time to go home! Can't wait for her 71st!<BR/>Only kidding!<BR/>Her birthday was Tres Bon. Sandie is a great cook, but this meal surpassed the others. We all blew out on seconds and one who will remain nameless but has shaved off his beard, had thirds and then scraped the dish! Sandie's apple pie is to die for, but I couldn't have any because of my diabetes. Sandie was such a good hostess, that she cooked me separate apple and bought me special diabetic ice cream, which she allowed me to take home with me. Thank you Sandie, I am enjoying it and trying to make it last! That's a lovely photo Sandie, you don't look anything like 65, thanks to a life of sobriety and Mum's genes! I only hope I look as good when I reach your age! :0)granny grimblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257953737883411387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6045090281195332226.post-57226363792971073922007-10-04T10:16:00.000-07:002007-10-04T10:16:00.000-07:00Oh really Kay?
