Good Morning EVERYONE who took time to reply to the humble fact that I made an appearance on Nov. 18 19...... (Just keep usin' Sheido and drink tons of water!!!)

I was sort of concerned that Bob referred to you guys as "knotheads" until he reminded me that I used to call a few of my miscreant boy-students that when they were being goofy in class. So I guess it was a term of my-way-or-the-highway endearment???

Thank you for your sweet comments which, amazingly, were pretty true about my hyper-spouse! I was stunned to walk out and see that gorgeous Welcome rooster piece of metal...Really blew me away and I'm still wandering out to check him out over and over, planning what to plant under his feet and wondering where the ferocious wind won't knock him "galley-west" as my grandfather used to say.

So, yes, we had an abbreviated lunch at Olive Garden (the only good restaurant on the way to DC!!!) and after 2 hours of listening to those blues folks play the same riff to every single tune, I got up and grabbed a tamborine and hit a few licks to cure my own boredom. Bob said it lightens it up some. Hurrah!!!

Pretty cool B-day. Think I'll go check out that rooster again on the way to the sink....only about 24 lbs. of collards to wash!!!!!

Stay safe,

P-Vine (Eve)

PS: My first ever note from Scotland. How Cool!!! Thanks. P
