Hi PrissyMissy... that sure is A PURTY table.. did you do it yourself or did grandma Amy give you a "little" help?

dutchess doesn't seem to be around, so I will eat her chocolate cake!!!

Wonder if Mr. dutchess swept her away on a surprise get away?

I am recalling a surprise birthday party I had for my hubby one year.

We were stationed in the Canal zone. He was on the admiral's staff there & I planned a pretty big shin dig. Lots of gourmet food & top shelf drinks.

About 60 folks (INCLUDING THE ADMIRAL) were there.. waiting... and waiting... and waiting for the guest of honor.

Bob was supposed to be home at 8 from handling some things the admiral gave him to do. Well Bob figured things out apparently. He showed up at 11. Went to the base movie. Everyone waited including the admiral. Needless to say, all were pretty "happy" by the time B got there.

When he came they all broke out in "Every party has a pooper, that's why we invited you....".

He thought he was clever. Most people involved thought he was a bad sport. I did too & later divorced him! (much, later)

:-)

Now, I don't think our dutchess is doing this.. just passing on the story.

Oh, just to let everyone know that THEY ARE SAFE FROM MURHPY... he is still here. My furnace died sometime in middle of last night. House is getting chilly. Our man is out of town until Tuesday & I will wait as a repair on holiday weekend will be pretty expensive to call someone from phone book. The sewer or septic is still not working & one of the circuits in the house went out. Man this is SUCH fun!

I just took a nice hot bath.. felt good & wont drain the water.. will just let it naturally seep down (as it has always done).. Fortunately it is to be in 50's & 60's the next few days.

Going out later to dinner & to see Harry Potter. after dog walk at nearby cemetery (also contiguous to national park where they can run freely)

will check in later to see if birthday girl has arrived for her PAR-TAY.
