Thank you so much! And I'm THRILLED you watched the play. Aren't they so good? One of those women is now a big time producer for television, HBO, Lifetime movies, and more. (She played Jo)

Love hearing that 'Jo' is now a producer!! The talent is just oozing off the screen with all of these women!!! And from you too, Sandra!! Oh for another time, when you could be doing " Gay Mysteries She Wrote! " in prime time! :-) Looking forward to what you are planning for 2026!!!

Today has gone in my diary so that next year you get a card on your birthday. Right now I hope you are having, or have had, a paddle in the Pacific Ocean on your 82nd birthday. In my case it will be the North Sea at Cleethorpes on the Lincolnshire coast. I do love birthday paddles. And the cake looks, and I am sure, tastes yummy. Very yummy. This kindred octogenarian hopes that the year ahead is all you would like it to be and full of happy surprises. ❤️❤️Robert🐰

Thank you Robert. I had to laugh at the idea of having a paddle in the Pacific Ocean. I would be an icicle right now if I had. We didn't get to go to the ocean after all, but we all had a nice dinner together, and that was lovely. No cake, but maybe I'll bake one in a week or so.
